Windows Clone tool blend mode not working as expected

[Mesapholis]

Hello I am running Version 1.9.1 of Affinity Photo on Windows Desktop

I wanted to lighten up the color of the face a bit but ended up basically cloning the light and a blue flag over the sections where I was painting with the clone tool - in the tutorials the Lighten-Clone Tool only picked the brightness level of the source target and applied that to where they painted - so I would not expect it to pick the color and apply it, too, I hope I am not mistaken here?

I was following along basic tutorials as I am transitioning to this Editor currently, so I believe I followed the instructions closely:

- select clone brush tool

- select Lighten (as shown in the picture)

- select Source as Current and below

I only also reduced the opacity of the tool, which is why you can see the face under the applied color.

Basically the Lighten selection doesn't do anything and just clones the target onto the face... For comparison, I upped the opacity to 100% and left all other settings as before in the second picture.

Did I forget any other selection?

Hi Mesapholis,

Welcome to the forum,

I apologise for the delayed response we have been incredibly busy and unfortunately this has caused some posts to slip through the net. Do you still get this problem with the latest beta build found here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/141864-affinity-photo-windows-customer-beta-1941065/

 

Thanks
