Yosh Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 What is "Passthrough" layer mode? I've never seen that layer mode in any other graphics software. I can't tell any difference between Passthrough and Normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 @Yosh From the help files... Quote For a layer group, the default is 'Passthrough' (i.e. the group itself has no special blend properties of its own). For a layer group, the default blend mode is 'Passthrough'. This blend mode affects grouped layers in the following ways: If you have a filter in the group, the Passthrough blend mode will cause the filter to affect all other page content below it. If the group blend mode is changed to Normal, the filter's effect is restricted. For just an adjustment(s) in a group, Passthrough and any other blend mode will restrict the adjustment to just the group. If you have an adjustment above a fill layer in a group, the fill layer causes the adjustment to affect all other page content below it when blend mode is Passthrough. https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Layers/layerBlendModes.html keiichi77 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
