Layers problem


Recommended Posts

When I change to a different Layer, the previous Layer reverts to Normal

Its a bit like the fx studio settings, you need to close the studio for the settings to "take". If you tap anywhere with the studio open the new blend setting reverts to the previous settings. Try tapping the layer options back arrow after selecting the desired blend mode. Then tap another layer. It should be fine .
Hopefully they will change this so its behaves like other filters settings.

Nope! It doesn’t work!

This is the recipe I've reproduced this with:

  1. Open an image
  2. Live High Pass
  3. Set Blend Mode to Linear Light
  4. Close the filter dialog
  5. Open it again
  6. Observe it has reset to Normal

This was picked up yesterday so I'll add this post to the report. Thanks!

It does but on further investigation it seems you need a background layer or another layer not associated with the HP filtered layer.

I know you’re trying, but it’s not working on this end! 
I always duplicate the layers to use filters individually and on V2 that’s not working as it was on V1. I probably have to make a video of the V1 version so you can see what I mean!

.No, I agree it’s definitely buggy. The workaround sometimes sticks the setting but to be honest I’m finding it inconsistent.Hopefully a quick fix will be coming.

Absolutely agree this is an issue.

‘Have tried to perform the suggested method, and still reverts back to normal. This is regardless of any Live Adjustment Filters used, but simple Layer Blend choices selected.

Shouldn’t have to be some “Exit the Panel first….” procedure for something so simple of a selection process.

I use this software for basic editing for my concert photography work and this something I need to use and it’s driving me demented how something as basic as that could be buggy. On V1 this was smooth as it should be… this not rocket science stuff. :)
I’m glad I didn’t delete the V1 app from my iPad, otherwise I’d be even more demented, as I don’t use any other software/computer to edit my concert photos.
Hopefully, they’ll issue a patch/update soon - which I think might take more than just a few days, unfortunately.

I would expect devs are flat out addressing a raft of minor fixes, unless still hungover from the release of V2 partying😂

This bug remains on latest update. When is going to be fixed?

This was fixed in last update. Scroll to locate desired blend and tap blend to select. You must tap desired option in drop down menu.🙂

I didn’t see any tap to select in drop-down menu. You have to tap the desired blend. It is not enough to simply scroll.

Yes they have changed it slightly and when using my finger it tends to work but if I do all steps using Apple pencil you do seem to have to do the additional tap on the already selected setting to get it to stick, and, most importantly it does not work like the V1 app or the desktop apps who don't need the extra tap.

It is still a bug to be fixed in my opinion.

That’s true. Perhaps the requirement to tap on menu should be considered a “workaround” then.🙂

Yes gets it working but not ideal. Probably hard to track down as works first time using finger so I think another Apple pencil issue.

We have now logged this behaviour with development. For what it's worth, I think this is definitely wrong...

Hello Chris. Seems it stills not fixed yet under the latest update. Any chance to get an idea when this should be fixed?
