New Divide Blend Mode Issue


Lubiloo

Recommended Posts

I've just been following James Ritson's video on the new Divide Blend Mode.  Worked wonderfully until I reached the Lighting Live Filter; Divide Blend Mode element.  Screen shot to illustrate the issue.  And I tried with and without hardware acceleration in Preferences. No other applications open except YouTube930641375_AffinityPhotoLiveLightingDivideBlendMode.thumb.jpg.34099da06c08dc9c49ba8aaa90edaa7f.jpg378417204_AffinityPhotoLiveLightingasshouldbe.thumb.jpg.e5957467cd361c5667386d7f735e361f.jpg

Same here (Windows)

I get similar results to you, something not right!

 

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Ah, now I understand what you mean. Maybe it's a Mac-Windows thing. This is what the Ritson-picture looks like on my computer:

Same effect here on Windows 10 machine. Also tried in latest beta build 952 but just the same. There is obviously a problem in the Windows version. I believe James R is using a Mac. It would be interesting to know if other Mac users can get this to work.

You have combined a layer with the layer below it by applying a blend mode. What did you expect?

Hello, Michail  I'm interested in knowing why putting a live filter on top of a pixel layer should not work with a blend mode?  I often use 'Lighten' using the Live Lighting Filter for a subtle glow and then use the Live Filter inherent mask to control and target the effect.  I'm glad to see (although not for you) that you replicated the 'Divide' blend mode issue yourself as I now know that it isn't me doing something wrong.   :)
