Lisbon Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 Let's say I fill (Edit > Fill) an image with white set to Colour blend mode. I get a grayscale version of my image. On another occasion I try do the same but I make a mistake. I forget to change the blend mode from Normal to Colour. To correct my mistake I open the fade command (Layer > Fade Fill) and change the blend mode to Colour. But, instead of grayscale, the image remains white. How do i use blend modes with the fade command? I really like this feature but it seems to be different from PS. Any help would be appreciated. Quote
Old Bruce Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 It is almost as though the Fade Fill is being re-applied to the newly made white colour instead of the original pixels. There seems to be similar problems with different blend modes when Fade Fill is used after a Filter is applied. If the blend mode is set to Normal and 0% is chosen to be be applied I seem to get rid of the White fill so I can start again with the fill. I guess this is a bug with different blend modes used with Fade Fill.

thomaso Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Also in macOS it appears not to work correctly. Different than expected in the Fade window the blend mode gets displayed as 'Normal' although it was initially assigned with 'Colour': If initially assigned with 'Normal' then Fade works with 'Luminosity' but not with 'Colour': If 'Luminosity' was corrected for Fade then it appears correctly as mode if Fade gets reopened though its fade value appears not to matter any more: Edited September 4, 2022 by thomaso text precised Lisbon 1 Quote • MacBookPro Retina 15" | macOS 10.14.6 | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 • iPad 10.Gen. | iOS 18.5. | Affinity V2.6

Thank you both for your feedback. Really appreciated. Quote

I would call that a fairly good definition of the term Bug.

Lisbon Posted September 4, 2022 Author Posted September 4, 2022 Your right @Old Bruce I use a lot of euphemisms. Quote
