ok so, i have a pretty simple setup in Affinity Photo 2.04 (Windows)

A layer with a star shape and a mask applied to it.

When I add a gaussian blur live filter to the mask, the mask disappears

It is only when I add a mask to the gaussian blur live filter that I can see the mask and the effect of the filter.

I know that live filters and other adjustment layers come with a mask already built in, so Im guessing there is a bug with the one in the gaussian blur when applying to a mask?

The same live filter works fine when applied directly to the layer, but not to the mask

Hi @Felipe_RB,

Thanks for your report!

If I have correctly understood the steps described, I have tried this here using Affinity Photo 2.0.4 Windows and the Live Filter layer is applied to the mask, as expected -

Are you able to provide a copy of your .afphoto file that shows this issue, so that I can investigate further please?

Many thanks in advance :)

sure thing, here it is

as mentioned before, the only solution I found was to then add a mask to the gaussian blur

Many thanks for providing that for me! This appears to be rendering as expected here, the mask is applied to the Star, and the blur is applied to the mask -

Is this different from the results you are seeing, and if so can you provide a screenshot of the file open on you end for me? :)

Hi Dan

OpenCL compute acceleration was off when I experienced the problem, I tried switching it on and only then the Blur worked on the mask as expected.

Try switching OpenCL off in order to see the bug. Unfortunately, there are still many bugs associated with the OpenCL compute acceleration so I usually keep it off.

So I guess the bug still applies for most of us

(I tested this in versions 2.04 and 2.1beta, OpenCL compute acceleration off causes the bug in both)

@Dan C, I agree with @Felipe_RB. My GPU is too old to allow OpenCL, and applying a Blur to the Mask does not work for me.
