RichardMH Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Trying some approaches to the Dragan effect. Duplicate image and convert to B&W (and merge down). Duplicate this layer and set Vivid Light blend mode. Then introduce High Pass filter and I have black squares appearing when I change the radius (with Overlay blend mode). Hadn't seen this on previous attempts so not sure how reproducible it is. I'll try. When I put these in a group to blend with the original image (Overlay mode again) it also does something similar when I change opacity. OpenCL acceleration on.

RichardMH Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 With OpenCl acceleration off there is still some oddness when I move the radius in the High Pass filter. (It doesn't want to record the little window). Affinity Photo 2021-04-25 20-08-34.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Is this issue specific to the beta version of the software, or do you just happen to be using the beta? Do you get the same issue with the commercial release? (This area of the forums is for issues with the latest beta version only.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted April 26, 2021 Staff Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi both, I will get this logged as those artefacts you see in the Beta should not be there. But the dark spots you see in the release are excepted. Just a quick hint @RichardMH. I believe you're using OBS to capture your screen. Set the capture source to Display instead of app so we can see your pop-ups. Also, why are you working in 32bit? You have some negative values in those dark areas, when you apply that vidid light blend mode, you push them into very high values(mathematically correct) but will not look as expected on screen.

I just use the gaming recorder in windows 10. Seems to only let me record one app/window. Hoping for no new dramas to record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The Game Bar recorder which is built into Windows 10 doesn’t record pop-ups, dialogs or menus so it’s not good for obtaining videos of what you are doing in applications which have them.
