Displace Filter Blend Options not worknig

[scdbs]

I’m following along with the tutorial about the Displace filter and I’m not getting the functionality that it shows in the video.

 

https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/tutorials/photo/desktop/video/309468388

 

When I get to 1:45 the blend option does nothing. I’ve re-created the example exactly to no success.

 

Any suggestions?

 

I'm on a Mac BTW

That's a bug introduced in the 1.8.x series,  but it appears to be partially fixed in the current beta 1.8.3.180 - see my next comment below.

Apparently it works with the regular filter. Just not the live filter layer version.

It's working for me with a mask-nested live filter in a Pixel object. Still seems to be a problem with nesting in a vector object instead of a pixel object, though, but I need to go now and can't test further until this afternoon. Rasterise the Image object to a Pixel object and then mask-nest a Live Displacement Filter in it.

That's not working either and it's the same in the Beta. Just tried it.

Why did you change the nesting from nest-masking to clip-masking?

In the current beta, after rasterising the Image object, add the mask-nested live filter and do not shift it to the clip-nested position.

It doesn't work either way.

I figured out that if you group the image and the live filter and then use the groups blend adjust it works as the tutorial video shows.

 

The last video was with the Beta. So is this. It works my way in either version.

 Yes, it's still broken in beta 1.8.3.180. I don't know what I was doing this morning to get the impression that there was a partial fix.

Hi both,

Thanks for spotting this. I logged it with our developers.

Same bug was reported a month ago:

Hi Everyone,

First of all, I´m very new on the forum and also very recently using Affinity products.

Searching around this forum this is the only post with a description of a problem I have trying to use the displace filter. I have also noticed on other web pages people that are apparently experiencing my same problem.

The filter is not working for me as explained in Affinity tutorials. I´m using Affinity Photo 1.9 on Windows 10. I appreciate any help and comments.

Thanks, Roger

I am having similar issues with displace live filter... still in 1.10... is it still there?

 

Thanks,

I'm afraid this is still an issue. Sorry
