IPv6 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 There is a file (in attachment) that looks normal in v1, but turns into complete white in v2. Tryed with hardware acceleration ON and OFF. Seems brightness adjustment works in some different way. v1.afphoto.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 It is your Brighness contrast adjustments. Adjust them to taste. Very confused as to the two levels layers nested and having nothing going on in either. This file is too complicated to make sense to me.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 The issue is being caused by the two Brightness / Contrast Adjustment Layers with nested Mask Layers both containing nested Level Adjustments (marked in red)... Toggle the Levels Adjustments off and the whiteout is removed, however it appears to be some odd combination of the two Levels Adjustments in as much as if you unnest both Mask Layers from their respective Brightness / Contrast Layers and further unnest both Level Adjustments from their respective Masks and then renest the first Levels Adjustment with the first Mask, it is fine, but as soon as you nest the second Levels Adjustments with the second Mask you see the whiteout effect, regardless of which you nest first. So something very odd is happening here which isn't happening in V1.

Hangman Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Playing a little more, I think the source file itself may be corrupt as I'm getting constant crashes when opening it in 1.10.6 and in v2 the Levels Adjustments applied to the two mask layers appear to be completely ignoring the masks themselves, but if you rebuild the file all works as it should (see v2 attached)... One oddity however with the rebuilt file is that if you attempt to group the elements that make up the Environment Blooms (the green layers in the attached file), the 'whiteout' effect reappears, which makes little sense, grouping those layers should make no difference... v2.afphoto Affinity Designer 2.4.2 | Affinity Photo 2.4.2 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.2 Affinity Designer 1.7.3 | Affinity Photo 1.7.3 | Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 MacBook Pro 16GB, macOS Monterey 12.7.4, Magic Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
