BiffBrown Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Adding an outline to an image is relatively straightforward: using the Effects Panel. However, some Strange Behaviour has been noticed: I opened a 16-bit Tif file (from a Scanner), which opens into the Photo Persona. An outline (inner) can be applied: I initially opened a TIF file (from a scanner), and applied an Inner Outline: Using same file, after being sent to the Develop Persona for some adjustments: still behaving itself: The same file, sent to the Develop Persona, then to the Tone Mapping Persona. This is where the problem lies: Opps!! Now, why?? In Frustration, regards Biff PS: Happy New Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Since your Layers panel is not shown and an Affinity document has not been provided, I will guess that the pixels of the Pixel object have been made sightly transparent somehow. Try using Channels panel to fill the alpha channel of the Pixel object. If that doesn't restore the correct outline effect, then I think you'll need to attach the document.

The Layers Panel was not shown as it only had the one layer - the Background pixel layer. Filling the Alpha Channel of that Pixel Layer did work - Thank You. I suspect that Tone Mapping is clearing the Alpha Channel. Perhaps this needs flagging as a "bug" Cheers. And Happy New Year. Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Supplying the original TIFF file and a list of the adjustments that were made in the Develop Persona, and a version of the .afphoto document before and after using that persona would be useful, Biff. Serif won't be able to log it as a bug without enough information to recreate the problem to allow debugging.

Strangely enough, the problem doesn't occur with the Inner Glow effect. Regards, Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
