Merging Levels Adjustment on a layer with a drop shadow

[TDmah]

Hello,

 

Open the attached Affinity Photo (current customer beta) file and double click on the Levels Adjustment icon in the layers palette (in order to edit the adjustment).  Click on Merge.  Notice how the drop shadow effect is duplicated.  Is this expected behaviour?  Is this a bug?

 

Regards,

Travis

Hi TDmah,

Thanks for your report.

For now use Merge Visible instead to create a new rasterised layer without the additional FX or disable the FX effect on the resulting layer for the other two commands (Merge Selected and Merge Down).

If you do a Merge Selected or Merge Down, Affinity will merge the layers with the shadow effect rasterised and keeps the FX enabled, producing a "double shadow" effect.

Issue logged to be looked at.

Ok, thanks MEB.

 

Though I was actually talking about the Merge command at the top right of the Levels Adjustment Dialogue (those this may amount to the same thing as what you just said regarding the Merge Visible/Merge Selected on the Layer Palette).

It's the same issue accessed from from different places.
