Alej Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Posting a video, it is self explanatory, can't seem to find why the slider does nothing on any of the layers shown. That said, if I create a new Text layer for example, the opacity slider of that one will work. Not clear why this current example seems to do anything. (Blending mode do work but can't modulate it). EDIT: my bad, was selecting the 'brushes' opacity for the layer's opacity. However the fill's opacity doesn't seem to work.

walt.farrell Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I can see it doing something to the Outer Shadow effect (though it's hard to see due to the bounding box which partially overlays it). I'm not sure about the Color Overlay. It would help to have the actual .afphoto document, I think. Also, what release of Affinity Photo are you using? 1.10.3 (yesterday's version), 1.10.4 (today's version), or something else?

Alej Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Hello! thanks for the quick followup. 1.10.35514 File attached. But starting to fear that I might be doing something non-clever.

Alej Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Ok, doesn't appear just yet on the Mac App Store. Will give it a test drive afternoon to see. Also, my bad, this has been a pretty rush test as it isn't an important task but felt weird compared to how I do it elsewhere, the blending modes themselves for color overlay don't seem to work either. Workaround: had to put everything under a group and use the blending modes there instead, actually having the blending mode on a layer with it's Layer Effects doesn't do the blending with the final pixel value.

Alej Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Alright, I think that it is a beginner's mistake regarding blending modes, I have confirmed in other softwares that the 'Fill' opacity seems to not do anything either regarding the global blending opacity of effects and also the color/patter/inner-outer-glows/etc are not affected by the layer's blending mode either. So the 'workaround' (group and apply blending mode to that) seems to be the right way. Sorry for that. Here's the video in case, 1.10.4 appeared today for me.

carl123 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Fill Opacity is different to Layer Opacity and is shown below This only appears when you have FX selected With certain FXs you will not see any change if you adjust the Fill Opacity Fill Opacity affects the fill (opacity) of the object that the FX is applied to but not the FX's opacity Alej and Dan C 2 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Staff Dan C Posted November 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted November 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Hens said: you can apply this fill opacity without an fx ticked though This is logged as a bug with our developers, as no FX symbol shows against the layer when this Fill Opacity slider has been used, if none of the FX are enabled. I'll get this 'bumped' now, thanks for the report Alej 1 Quote Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.
