velarde Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hello I noticed the same bug I reported a year back I'm creating a Gradient in a pixel layer and I can't adjust the midpoint. I drag the interactive slider in the work area but it doesn't work as expected. It looks I can adjust it numerically in the tool bar. It modifies it in the toolbar but the changes won't reflect in the work area. So in short: No way to adjust the mid point in any gradient. thanks P.D. I'm using the latest version of Photo ( not the beta) and MacOs latest version in an iMac 2015 Quote ------------------------ Fernando Velarde www.velarde.com Instagram.com/soyfervelarde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 16, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi @velarde, I've updated/bumped the report to bring this up to devs attention again. Thank you. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velarde Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hello, Just to clarify. The last time they did fix it. Probably just got broken again in these last updates.

velarde Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hello. FYI: Just downloaded and tested Affinity Photo 1.9.2 This gradient tool bug is still there...

velarde Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 I just watched one of your New Video Tutorials.(Ivan Weiss and LUT packs) and noticed he was applying a gradient masking on one of the adjustment layers he created. I saw that he adjusted the gradient midpoint with no problem. I tried it also in 1.9.2 and this works as expected on Adjustment Layers (using the gradient tool) But the bug I'm reporting is only noticeable in a new Pixel Layer. There it won't work. Hope this helps the developers pinpoint the problem.

Staff MEB Posted April 6, 2021 Staff Share Posted April 6, 2021 Hi @velarde, The bug report was filled against pixels layers only. It does work on adjustment/filters's masks, independent masks and Fill layers. I've updated/bumped the report yet again (against v1.9.2) to bring it up to dev's attention.

velarde Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hello Just checked and the Gradient bug is still in the 1.9.3 update Played with it more and iIt looks like only the Linear gradient is not working correctly. ( Unfortunately for me it's the only one I use 😀) Radial, eliptical and conical gradients work ok thanks Quote ------------------------ Fernando Velarde www.velarde.com Instagram.com/soyfervelarde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 14, 2021 Staff Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi velarde,V1.9.3 was a minor update to fix a few outstanding issues. The gradient midpoint issue remains open. From my testing seems this issue only affects RGB/8 documents. Can you please try to convert yours to RGB/16 (or another colour format) and check if it works for you? Thank you. dollartreemustachio 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velarde Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hello MEB Yes, I checked and the Gradient works as expected on RGB/16 Should I use 16 now...? I've always worked on RGB/8 for all my work. Is this mode outdated?

Staff MEB Posted April 14, 2021 Staff Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi velarde, No, RGB/8 it's not outdated. I just wanted to confirm if it was working for you in RGB/16 (or other colour formats). I've updated our report accordingly. This is indeed something that must be fixed. Working in RGB/16 is just a workaround so you can keep working/using the Gradient Tool.

RGB 8 is what jpeg and gif use, it is not going anywhere. The advantage to working in 8 bits is small file size, working in 16 bits gives a smoother range of colours with a larger file size.

Staff MEB Posted August 6, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hi velarde, I keep bumping/updating the report/issue but it's up to the developers to decide when to fix it depending on a series of factors.

Staff MEB Posted August 18, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hi @Designer1234, This is a know issue that's already logged to be looked at. It only affect gradients applied to pixel layers in RGB/8 documents (with Hardware acceleration enabled). If you convert the document to RGB/16 (or another colour format) it will work correctly. Thanks for your feedback. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
