h_d Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 What happens: In Affinity Photo v 2.0.3, open an image in Photo Persona. Apply a Live Filter (I tested with Gaussian Blur and High Pass). Set the Blend Mode to anything other than Normal. Gradually reduce the opacity from 100% to 0%. The effect is lessened until the slider reaches 0%, when the effect is applied at 100% opacity. Video illustrates the effect with Gaussian Blur, Blend Mode set to Darken: Screen Recording 2022-12-31 at 11.57.38.mp4 What I would expect to happen: setting the filter layer's opacity to 0% should result in the in filter having no effect, as it does in Normal Blend Mode.

Corgi Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Pro tip: if there's a layer that you intend to have 0% Opacity, the solution is simply to not create the layer/adjustment in the first place. Saves time and complexity, plus it avoids your frustrating scenario completely! JUST KIDDING. 😁 Yes, that's a bona fide bug. h_d and loukash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
