VeganPete Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 Every time I try to export an image (regardless of image format - jpg/png etc), the image has FX applied to it (even though the FX are not actually turned "on" in the image layers.) I cannot turn the layer FX off (they are applied during export) - the exported image always looks totally different to the edited image. Quote

Can you share a .afphoto file and the exported JPG or PNG file? It might also help to see the Export options you used, including the More... dialog from the Export dialog.

VeganPete Posted August 8, 2021 Author Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Thank you Walt. Sure, here's the aphoto I'm working on....it's the central blue line that is having a 3D effect applied during export.Bkg.afphoto Edited August 8, 2021 by VeganPete Quote
walt.farrell Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 Thanks. That is weird. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I can confirm I see it, too.

VeganPete Posted August 8, 2021 Author Posted August 8, 2021 Thank you for confirming for me Walt. No worries at all really, I simply deleted the layer and remade it - which solved the problem - but weird that it happened. Quote
Komatös Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 The effect was also visible for me during the first export. I then rasterised the affected layer again and the second export looks as desired.

Staff Chris B Posted August 10, 2021 Staff Posted August 10, 2021 I saw this too but I have absolutely no idea what's causing it. Was this entirely made in Affinity? You didn't import it from another app did you? Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials
VeganPete Posted August 10, 2021 Author Posted August 10, 2021 Thanks Chris B: Yes, it's made entirely with Affinity, not imported from an app. Thanks Kromatos: Nice to know that I can rasterise the layer as a workaround in the future. Thanks. Chris B 1 Quote

Could you explain how you created and edited the blue rectangle pixel layer?

VeganPete Posted August 16, 2021 Author Posted August 16, 2021 Hi, sure... it was a while ago now but (from memory) I think I clicked the "rectangle tool" icon, then dragged the default rectangle into a longer/narrower strip, then clicked the palette and made it blue, finally I clicked the Layer FX button and checked the "3D Effect" and adjusted the "radius", "softness" and "Lighting Angle" parameters. I think I left the layer as "pixel", without manually rasterizing it. I later decided against the 3D effect, so I disabled it by unchecking the "3D Effect" box prior to exporting - but the 3D effect was still being applied during export (though it was actually not visible in the Affinity workspace prior to export). To fix it, I completely deleted the offending "blue square layer" and made a new one. Incidentally, this was the first ever image I tried to make since purchasing and installing Infinity Photo recently so it was made with a completely fresh/new install of the latest version. It's also likely that during making the various layers of the image, I would have periodically pressed "Ctrl +z" to undo certain steps. Have made several similar images since and have not experienced the same fault again. Windows 10 Home, 2.8GHz, Core I7, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 (3GB), 1TB Sandisk SSD. NotMyFault 1 Quote
Staff Chris B Posted August 17, 2021 Staff Posted August 17, 2021 I just tried this and couldn't reproduce - If we were still exporting FX after disabling them that would be worrysome! I will add this info to the bug report I made though - thank you. Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials
David in Яuislip Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 Having spent too many hearbeats trying to understand this, here are a couple of observations. If you stretch the blue layer to the same height as the image you see a homogenous blue #016CA9 Compare that with the layer thumbnail which shows some sort of gradient Now export it, very weird I think @VeganPete deserves a prize for creating this Chris B 1 Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10

NotMyFault Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 Even copying the layer from Photo to e.g. MS Word leads to 3D effect, despite Photo showing a single color. Evil bug.
