ll15 Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Hi, The gradient tool creates a black outline on shapes that are placed over a shape that has a gradient. See picture attached. The orange circle under the emoji has a gradient. A black outline appears under the red heart eyes. When I move the gradient, I can see the black outline moving around. The black outlines created by the bug are circled in green in picture 1. The outline disappeared in picture 2 when I lowered the gradient. Please note that the glitch only seems to affect shapes that have a shadow under them (hearts and pink patches) but not the white star and the mouth. This is the latest version of affinity designer and I work on a macbook pro (catalina). Thank you for your help, Lauriane Edited March 26, 2020 by ll15 Quote
Gear maker Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Hi Lauriane, welcome to Affinity forum. The dark line looks like a piece of a shadow peeking out from under the heart. Plus you mention "glitch only seems to affect shapes that have a shadow under them". I don't see any other effect of a shadow. Why do you have a shadow turned on for these parts? Try shutting it off, does it go away? If that's not it could you attach a copy of the .afdesign file so we could look at it? Quote iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with macOS Sierra

Staff Sean P Posted March 27, 2020 Staff Posted March 27, 2020 Hi Lauriane, Your shapes use the 'Colour Burn' blend mode on the Shadows - depending on the base colours below this will modify what the shadow appears like. There is a very slight difference in the gradient colours between the two objects, and it is this difference that is enough to make the Colour Burn different.This isn't a bug - just the way colour burn works. You would be better off using Multiply with a red colour to give the red shadow. See attached file (I've removed the other objects to simplify the file to see. Glitch_Modified.afdesign Quote
Joakim Kihlberg Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Hi, I also have major problems with this gradient feature, and the coulor and fill tools also. It seems to be a real mess, this part, at least the UI. I just get round and round in the menues and buttons and nothing happens as expected or happens at all. I don't understand the problem, but there must be bugs begind it. I just can't see how I will be able to work with the programs and I just get frustrated as I need to get my job done. I just want to give this feedback. Regards Joakim Quote
