scdbs Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 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 Displace_Issue.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited April 1, 2020 by anon2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scdbs Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Apparently it works with the regular filter. Just not the live filter layer version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited April 1, 2020 by anon2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scdbs Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 That's not working either and it's the same in the Beta. Just tried it. Issue.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) 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.

scdbs Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 It doesn't work either way. Issue_2.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scdbs Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 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. Solution.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what I was doing this morning to get the impression that there was a partial fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerFx Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted October 4, 2021 Staff Share Posted October 4, 2021 I'm afraid this is still an issue. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
