Occasionally, no sure exactly when but sometimes a "passtrhough" filter in the bod near the opacity function (not sure how that is called), appears. Why only occasionally?

Which application, and what release?

I imagine the OP is referring to layer blend modes, ‘Passthrough’ being the default blend mode for a layer group.

Thanks, perfect. That fits the pattern....

My apologies. I hid my post because I thought it was no longer needed when I saw your screenshot, but I can’t unhide it now! (Not that it greatly matters, since you captured my words in your quote.)

For the curious...

For a layer group, the default blend mode is 'Passthrough'. This blend mode affects grouped layers in the following ways:

  • If you have a filter in the group, the Passthrough blend mode will cause the filter to affect all other page content below it. If the group blend mode is changed to Normal, the filter's effect is restricted.
  • For just an adjustment(s) in a group, Passthrough and any other blend mode will restrict the adjustment to just the group.
  • If you have an adjustment above a fill layer in a group, the fill layer causes the adjustment to affect all other page content below it when blend mode is Passthrough.
