Shape changes FX values when dragged into an image

[abra100pro]

see movie.

After it I could manually change the blur value back to the state before dragging - so: not a leg breaker but still a bug.

I think this is an unexpected functionality, unsure if it’s a bug.

The layer fx of the nested layer gets scaled with the parent layer (in the sense of DPI). As your embedded image is probably scaled (having a different effective DPI than the containing document). It ignores „scale with object“ inactive, as the scaling is done on the level of the containing document and not on the curve layer level.

 

• A 1/2 size: nested rectangle gets „compressed“
• B 1/1 size:  above rectangle 
• C 1/1 size:  nested rectangle (identical to B)
• D 2/1 size: above
• E 2/1 size: nested get „streched“

You are probably aware of possible workarounds.  Just for other users who might find this thread:

• Create a rectangle, no fill, no stroke, of the same size of the embedded image (snapping activated will help)
• Nest the image layer into it,
• and nest the curve with blur effect into it, atop the image.

The rectangle will now clip the blurring, but don’t change colors.

Hi @abra100pro,

Apologies for the delayed response here and many thanks for your report!

I can confirm I'm able to replicate this here with Linked documents and therefore I'm logging this with our developers now - I hope this helps
