ch22 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I noticed various bugs in the French version of AP 10.1 which I just bought directly from the Serif site. I am working under MacOS 11.5 1 - Bug in Divide blend mode In principle, any layer divided by its own copy should give white everywhere, even for pure black pixels. The following screenshot shows very different results. It displays the effect of a double gradient Red-Black-Green (colors everywhere fully saturated) divided by itself. Seemingly, white is recovered everywhere if we add blue component, i.e. when none of the colors is fully saturated. 2 - Keyboard shortcut issues These issues only affect the French version (not the English version). The system CMD H shortcut should hide the application itself, but it does not because it has been also assigned to the "Show pixel selection" menu. Unfortunately, we cannot resolve the conflict by assigning another shortcut to this menu because it no longer appears in the Preferences lists for shortcuts None of these issues existed in version 10.1 distributed by the Apple Store. In return, there were other bugs in the Divide blend mode 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help if you supplied a .afphoto file with that object in it.

ch22 Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Thank you for your trials. For Walt.Farell, I join the afphoto file (including history) of my attempt. I did not obtain exactly the same result, but it remains anormal. Concerning my hardware, my video card is an AMD FirePro D500 (Metal Family : Pris en charge, Metal GPUFamily macOS 2). The metal acceleration is activated in my Preferences bug_divide.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Thanks for the file, @ch22. It works fine for me on Windows, as it seems to have for @v_kyr on Mac.

NotMyFault Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I can reproduce the issue on iPad, both retail and beta (test flight) Interestingly happens only for pixel layers. Same gradient on rectangular shape gets to white. Bith then, using only one rectangular shape, and a levels adjustment set to divide atop: The issue is always present if one color channel of the gradient is set to 0. filed a bug report IMG_0446.MP4 Edited October 4, 2021 by NotMyFault Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 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.

Staff Pauls Posted October 4, 2021 Staff Share Posted October 4, 2021 'show pixel selection' should appear if you select Photo and the View menu in the keyboard shortcuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch22 Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 @Pauls, you are right, I cannot explain why I did not see it yesterday. Unfortunately, the story does not end there. The input box for 'Afficher la selection de pixels' (in French, because the issue concerns the French menu) seems inoperant. Whatever I put in this box, the shortcut for this menu remains frozen to CMD H. Far more annoying, I cannot recover this CMD H for hiding the application @NotMyFault: thank you, I am not the only one with this kind of problem, little recomfort! Divide_bug.mp4 @all other guys: in fact, I meet up against two different bugs connected with the Divide blend mode. I prepared a short video to show how they look (1) when a layer is divided by its own copy, some pixels with fully saturated colors do not appear white (2) when one applies a box blur live filter on a pixel layer, a lot of fancy colors appear for small radius (other blurs are also affected, but less severely. Depending on the options in the Preferences for performance, I observe one of these two bugs, but never the two at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Pauls Posted October 4, 2021 Staff Share Posted October 4, 2021 you could try :- Save your current settings Run the application up whilst holding down the control key Select the option to reset keyboard shortcuts ONLY This will reset any other customisations you have though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch22 Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 I was aware of the recipe. I tried, once again. Unsuccessfully again... In principle, all this work can be done directly from the Preferences. Alas, this fails too. The shortcut for this menu 'Afficher sélection pixels' resists to all this cleaning attempts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
