roklix Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hello everybody, I just came across this issue and think this is a bug in Affinity Photo. When a Gaussian-Blur-Filter ist applied underneath (nested) a Fill-Layer a Blend-Range for the Fill Layer doe not work. You can tweak the settings of the Blend Range but no changes are visible. This occurs as soon as the Gaussian Blur ist set to >0. When the Gaussian Blur ist unchecked the Range ist visible and disappeares when checked. Affinity Photo: 1.9.2.1035; Windows 10 (21H1, Build 19043, 1055); Language: German Please excuse me my bad english.

Staff Gabe Posted June 28, 2021 Staff Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hi @roklix, I can't replicate this here. Can you attach a screen recoding of your workflow or a sample afphoto file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roklix Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Hi Gabe, thank you for your reply. The attached image is a scanned photo from my wife. I used it just for learning. Here are the steps I have done so far: 1.) Open Image (.jpg) 2.) Duplicate the Base Layer 3.) create Fill-Layer on top + select a red color for lipstick + set blend mode to multiply 4.) Create a Black Mask by holding "alt+click" on the mask icon 5.) Painting with a white brush over the lips (opacity 100%, flow 100%, hardness 0%) 6.) Create a Live Filter Layer "Gaussian Blur" (~3%) + the gaussian blur should nest underneath the mask layer, therefore I use the folloing workaround + move the mask on top of the layers. + move the gaussian blur underneath the mask, so it can be made nested + move both layers back underneath the fill layer 7.) Click on Blend Ranges (tooth-wheel), move down the right button the lips now shoud become lighter, but that doesn't work. When the gaussian blur is turned off or adjusted to 0 it works! I followed exactly all the steps in this tutorial: Create Realistic Lipstick!

Bump I can fully reproduce the issue based on the report from @roklix This is not restricted to fill layers, it affects vector shapes with a fill color, too. Even if you rasterize vector layers to pixel layers. roklix 1 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 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.

Lem3 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Turn the Fill layer into a group, Blend Ranges for the group will work. roklix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roklix Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 @Lem3: Your Workaround works - thank you. I attached a photo with the workaround because a picture tells more than thousand words. Maybe this is a bug only in the windows version. The lady in the linked tutorial works with a mac and it seems that she has no issue.
