Lighting Filter. Light sources change position by themselves


Recommended Posts

Hello

Encountered some unexpected behaviour of Lighting filter. Light sources changing their positions (rotating counter-clockwise mostly) when filter parameters (e.g. Ambient or Azimuth) are edited. I belive I haven't seen this before and nothing has changed on my laptop (software, hardware, etc.). Attached a video with bug demonstration and an example .afphoto file from the video (unchanged).

Tech specs:

  • Affinity Photo 1.10.1.1142
  • Windows 10 x64
  • CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U
  • 8Gb RAM
  • Nvidia GeForce MX150 and Intel UHD 620 Graphics
  • Laptop ASUS VivoBook S13 X330UN
  • Second monitor via HDMI
  • Disabled OpenCL HW acceleration cause off crashes and slow work (updating drivers didn't help)

Hi @floopik, Welcome to the forums,

There certainly is a bug. I tried to replicate it by creating my own. However the lighting filter worked fine. I downloaded your file (thanks for providing it), and wow that is weird. All the adjustments in the filter seemed locked to the direction slider. The problem is not there if the filter is turned off, then another one added. 

I'm not sure if all those Sample Points may be tied to it or not. I'm at a loss, sorry I can't provide an answer. But It certainly needs someone from Serif Dev to look at it.

Same here, if I create my own lightning filter it works fine, live of not. But yours is acting really weird. Was this file created with an earlier version?

AlainP, Ron P, thank you for your response!

Originally, the layer with the lighting filter was a part of bigger file (~1,2 Gb). All the sample points are traces that I forgot to clean up. The original file indeed was created with a previous version (1.10.0, I suppouse), but this layer with its filter was added only after an update.

I think the lighting worked fine the day before. I have a snapshot of some previous state which I checked and its version of filter looks good. Tried to reproduce the bug from this point but no result. I have a feeling that something gone wrong at saving process last time, at least I don't know what else I could done earlier that resulted in this.
