Why I have a border around my halftone? / Affinity Photo (and Designer too)

Hi

Why I have a border around my halftone?

Was that edge supposed to be there?

I have tested the filter in other shapes and images, and it always produces a border on the edges.

Can somebody help me?

Please

As perhaps a simpler solution, set the blend mode of the halftone to Vivid light.

Nice one, but there seems to be a thin border left.

True. It is very faint and I hadn't noticed it.
Interestingly when I turn off the half tone layer, and zoom the image back to around 30-40%, I see a very distinct white border around the outer circumference of the gradient.

Not sure the screen grab will show it as much as it shows on my screen.

Thank you Greyfox! I think it is better; but I'm still seeing a thin edge.

I honestly also think it is a bug.

For now, I think that with a mask I can hide that edge.

To both of you (Joachim_L  and  Greyfox), thank you very much

You can almost get round this by slightly modifying the gradient, see attached image, but there are still some ‘artefacts’ (marked in red) that don’t make for a perfect result. The gradient stop marked by the blue dot is 0% opacity, the purple stop is 1% opacity and the green stop is 100% opacity.
I’ve attached the AFDESIGN file too.
