High Pass Filter No Longer Working as Previously

[rainfall_bluez]

Prior to 1.9.1, when I "applied" the high pass filter, the image remained stenciled grey.  Now, however, when I "apply" the filter, the image turns from stenciled grey to dark grey, like an overlay.  Is this a new change in 1.9.1, or is this a bug?

See attached photos.

I’m experiencing the same issue. As well as some very odd results when using sharp unmask. All since the latest update.

Maybe the hardware acceleration is the culprit here as well.

Hi all,

Can you try our latest beta and see if it's any better?

Hi, Gabe.

I have installed the latest beta version and it didn't help:  "High Pass" will not apply the stenciled grey overlay; instead it continues to apply, as I noted above, what appears to be a dark overlay.

Note also:  my other filters aren't working, either.  For example, when I apply a Gaussian blur, I can increase the blur only to about 16% before an opaque white overlay appears over the photo.  See attchments.

Please provide an older version of Affinity Photo for us to use until you're able to work out the kinks in 1.9.1.  I really, really dislike the competition's business style but will have to resort to using their software to get my projects done if you're unable to provide an earlier version of your software and / or fix these issues within the next day or two.

Thank you.

If you have the Affinity Store version of the app you can revert to any of several earlier retail builds via the links on the following page:

Thank you, Alfred, for the link to the earlier builds.  I'm now installing 1.9.0, with which I didn't have any problems.  Hopefully this will do the trick.

Just a heads-up:  I reinstalled 1.9.0, and all of my filters, including high pass and gaussian blur, are working correctly.  In addition, I'm no longer having problems using the paint brush tool to conceal/reveal when masking.  Thank you.
