vigorhead Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hi, I have a problem with live filter layer. I couldn't apply halftone effect on pixel layer which is made by only paint brush tool. Like halftone effect, other live filter effect also doesn't work. You can see my situation on my attached video clip. But on normal image case, live filter(halftone) works fine. How can I fix, or use live filter layer with paint brush tool? I read similar post(below link) on this forum, and confirm that my brush works are done by unchecked 'protect alpha.'

thomaso Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Works here, too. – But I wonder why the layer thumbnail does not show my selection as masked area – and also what the vertical line | would indicate in the OP's filter thumbnail? A huge canvas and possibly thus a delay in showing the filter effect? I often experience a delay in thumbnail updates after any change but here it appears not to get shown correctly, – agree?

I experience that vertical line thumbnail on layer panel when pixel layer contains image made by paint brush tool only. like your posting, when I captured same image on my video and apply halftone effect, then it works fine.

iconoclast Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I'm not sure, but can it be that the background of the Life Filter is selected? In that case, because there isn't anything inside the selection on that layer, nothing would change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It's because the sketches aren't opaque, they are translucent, semi transparent, if you make a selection, create a new pixel layer and fill it with a grey colour and then apply the halftone live filter you will get the halftone effect being applied to the opaque colour, I noticed the filter was affecting the scarf and that was opaque.
