NotMyFault Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi, It was announced since Photo 1.9.0 that: Blend modes now work on “alpha only” layers (masks, adjustments, live filters, etc.) I would like to ask for how this feature can be used? I could not spot any difference for a mask when changing the blend mode from normal to any other mode.

Staff Dan C Posted May 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hi NotMyFault Our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here!

I have been informed by our QA team that this appears to be worded slightly incorrectly, we believe it to be blend modes on brush based tools when painting on Alpha (such as onto masks etc). I hope this clears things up!

I hope this clears things up! Thank you, indeed. It would be great if Affinity could remove or block / grey out non-functional controls for mask layers, e.g.: blend ranges (on layer level): non-functional Layer FX: non-functional Blend Range: non-functional Opacity: only confuse, as they reduce opacity of lower layers (instead of mask) Dan C 1 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.
