lepr Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 AP beta 1.8.2.172 macOS 10.13.6 Blend Options are being ignored in the following situations which were not problematic in retail AP 1.7.3: 1. Blend Gamma and Underlying Composition Ranges of a vector object are ignored when a Live Filter is nested in the object or nested in a Pixel Mask that is nested in the object. (Source Layer Ranges is honoured, though.) 2. Blend Gamma, Source Layer Ranges and Underlying Composition Ranges of a Pixel object are ignored when a Live Filter is nested in the object or nested in a Pixel Mask that is nested in the object Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Still broken in the 1.8.2.174 GM Seed. This was not broken in retail 1.7.3. Lack of feedback from Serif in this thread suggests the developers haven't been made aware of my 11 day old bug report. IPv6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 16, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 16, 2020 Thanks anon2. Issue logged to be looked at. We still have some catching up to do due to the recent launch of v1.8. It's possible we take a little longer to reply/acknowledge some of the threads/bugs but we will get there (even if only for the next update after 1.8.2.174 release). Please bear with us. lepr 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNKLN Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Sounds like the bug i've found in 1.8.2 from the App Store. Affinity Photo - Affinity Designer - Affinity Publisher | macOS Sonoma (14.2) on 16GB MBP14 2021 with 2.4 versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaffeeundsalz Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I also ran into this problem recently and thought I'd share a comparison screenshot to show the problem in action. In this case, the topmost pixel layer has Blend Options applied to get rid of the irregular background and only leave the black letters. As can be seen on the left, this does not work when a nested Live Filter Layer is active. The result is correct on the right because the nested layer is not visible. I've highlighted the difference with the green frames. In this case, it's a Bilateral Blur filter, but I can nest pretty much every Live Filter layer to reproduce the problem. Of course, a workaround here is to put the Bilateral Blur filter on top of the layer stack (and then manually mask it to the desired area) or to apply the filter to a group containing (only) the top pixel layer. Depending on the contents of the layer stack, this is not always a solution though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
