TheScavnger Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I have been trying to add gaussian blur to several of my images but they all have the same problem where if I go beyond 9px everything turns to white. I have added screenshots of both state along with my performance settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. That works fine for me, in the main workspace, though I do get a white artifact in the Navigator panel just below 11px: Suggestion: try disabling Hardware Acceleration in your Performance Preferences, and see if it fixes things. Edit: I also see a white artifact, sometimes, in main workspace after I restarted Photo (actually, with Photo Beta). So for me sometimes it's in the main workspace, sometimes only in the navigator.

Old Bruce Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 @TheScavnger I am just curious as to why are you only utilizing 2 GB of your RAM? Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved the slider accidentally lol. Now I changed it back to the default 4GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted July 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hey TheScavnger, You could try using DDU to fully remove your graphics drivers and do a clean install.

footeg Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hi, I get the a similar effect with a white square appearing at higher values using guassian blur from the filter menu. However adding gaussian blur either as a live filter layer or from layer effects works fine even at 100% radius. This was using the latest beta 1.10.0.1104 with hardware acceleration enabled. I did not get the same effect on the poroduction release 1.9.2.1035. Guassian blur worked fine using all three methods. I flagged up a similar problem some time ago using Frequency Separation with high guassian blur values. This still exists in the latest beta.

GG0 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I have a similar problem when I use Gaussian blur in the "layer" tab, once Hardware Acceleration is off (Gaussian blur 0,1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 19, 2021 Issues related with artefacts on canvas/Navigator when increasing the Radius in the destructive Gaussian Blur filter logged. Hi @GG0, Welcome to Affinity Forums Sorry the delay getting back to you. We have been a bit busy. I'm having trouble reproducing this on my system. Are you still experiencing this issue in version 1.10? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
