Eleve Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Yesterday I had an issue with Photo 2 on Ipad. I tried to apply the Gaussian Blur filter to my image with strange results. The image was expanded from the center horizontally outwards to the borders but without any blurring. So I made another simple picture, just 1 pixel layer, to try again. But after >20 attempts I almost gave up. Just by chance I switched the effect menu from preview mode to list mode and then the filter worked as expected. After switching back to preview mode the same strange behavior occurred - expanding the picture without blurring. Toggling between these two menu modes always showed the same results. One was working right the other one not. Any idea? Here are the original picture without any effect, and the 2 results with different menu modes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a known issue with rendering which has caused some issues and will hopefully be fixed soon. My older model iPad doesn’t offer this setting and previewing with live filter (Gaussian tested) work fine. If Display Zoom on, try turning it off.🙂 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Eleve Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Thanks for your feedback. If it will happens again, I will check the zoom factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff EmT Posted December 5, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 5, 2022 Hi @Eleve Can you replicate this on a new document? If so could you provide a screen recording so we can try to replicate the steps.

Eleve Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 Hi EmT, I tried to reproduce that “error” by changing the zoom factor (was assumed by DM1 to be the root cause). But this had no impact on the filters, all worked as normal. So I tried changing some other parameters. And finally I found out that it is the alpha lock that’s causing this behavior. If you protect the transparency in the pixel layer then the live filter will not work, if in preview mode. If you change into list mode by clicking the hamburger, then the live filter does work! Please let me know if you can reproduce this behavior on your Ipad as well or shall I provide a screen recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff EmT Posted December 6, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 6, 2022 When you toggle to the list mode, do you select Gaussian blur again? If so this would be adding a second FX. You can confirm in the layers panel. Can you enable Show Touches in Preferences > General then send a screen recording of how you are recreate this.
