Ladyhawke Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) I was trying to make a headline which is rotated just a bit and having an outer shadow and 3D effect added to it. I then added and clipped a Gaussian Blur live filter to the text, and that's when things went wrong. It's like there is a line down the middle of the text messing up the 3D effect. What is going on here? Turning the Gaussian Blur filter off returns the text to normal with a normal 3D effect. The line gets worse the more I turn up the Gaussian Blur filter. Screenshots as well as the .afphoto file attached.

GarryP Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Welcome to the forums @Ladyhawke I’m not sure if this is a bug or expected behaviour as I don’t know how the effects and the separate Live Gaussian Blur are supposed to interact when in this configuration. Maybe it's wrong, maybe it's doing what it's supposed to be doing. I’ve attached a video showing what happens on Windows - in case anyone is interested. 2022-07-21 13-08-44.mp4 OdellRichards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted July 21, 2022 Staff Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hi @Ladyhawke, Welcome to the Affinity Forums Thanks for your report & file provided, I can confirm this is a known issue when using Live Filters with the 3D layer FX on macOS, so I'll be sure to 'bump' this development log for you now. In the meantime I recommend using the Gaussian Blur Layer FX option, as this should apply as expected. I hope this helps! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Ladyhawke Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 Thank you @GarryP and @Dan C for the warm welcome 😃 I've been using Photo for years but never encountered a problem before. I missed the Gaussian Blur Layer FX option first time around, but I did discover it before writing here so I managed to get around the problem. But it seemed like an odd behavior for using a Gaussian Blur filter on text. Good to know you're aware of the issue 👍 Thank you for helping and for your time!

Old Bruce Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Why not group the text and live blur adjustment layer and apply the 3D effect to that group?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
