Samweow Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 i created these shapes in AD and then raterized in AP. I can't blur them, and I also couldn't use the flood fill tool on them. I am trying to blur that small gradient so that it blends in more to the background. This shape that I am blurring is a clone of the group below. When raterizing, it looks like the whole group was converted to a layer. The blur tool does work however, when trying to blur the shape outside of it's lines (works when dragging the blur tool from the shape to the white.

thomaso Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I do see blur occurring in your video. It is just very subtle. If you zoom in you will see it more obvious. Try to increase Flow and Opacity if currently less than 100. A more intense blur effect gets applied with an fx or live filter. It will affect an entire layer, so you might want to paint a mask to limit its area. The mask itself can be sharp edged or painted with a soft edge brush, too.

Samweow Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 @thomaso It only happens outside the shape, theres is no blur inside the shape everything is at 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Then I assume there is another copy of legs above, which prevents us from seeing the entire work of the blur tool.

Redfilm Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Affinity Photo's blur tool doesn't work anymore as you can see on this video. I'm working on MAC version 10.15.5 Thank you in advance for your help! blur.mov Samweow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted June 18, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi Samweow, Welcome to Affinity Forums Do you mind uploading the file shown in your video for us to check please? Here's an upload link to send it directly to us. Thanks. Hi Redfilm,Welcome to Affinity Forums Can you please zoom in a bit a check again if the blur is being applied or not - the effect may be a little subtle and hardly visible at 100%. Use the History panel to go back and forth to see if there's any difference or if does really do nothing. If you untick Enable Metal compute acceleration, in Affinity Photo Performance section does it still fail for you? Thanks.

I followed your instructions and despite this, the blurring applied is really very very minimal. Before the last update, I could apply a much more pronounced blur with this tool.

thomaso Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 > I can't manage to change the Metal mode ... (...) Sorry! I found my mistake! This UI glitch confused me, too. Actually I would expect the checkbox for generally enabling the Metall option to be in the UI directly above (or below) the according pulldown menu.
