Corgi Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I'm seeing a problem when applying a live gaussian blur on a pixel layer that has non-default blend ranges. See attached file (edit the Gaussian Blur settings to see the problem). It also happens on v1. As soon as a non-zero live gaussian blur is attempted, the blend range is ignored. It looks like something similar or identical was reported in 2021 as afp-3062. Windows 10, seen on 2.1.0 (and also 1.10.5.1342). Seems to occur whether OpenCL is enabled or not. No problem if I do a destructive gaussian blur, however. blur-confusion.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David in Яuislip Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Yep, in V1 I do a Merge Visible and apply the live gaussian blur to that, pain in the bum Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Group the pixel layer with itself and apply the gaussian blur to the group. or apply the gaussian blur to the pixellayer and the blendrange to the group.

Corgi Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 @NotMyFault: I created a file (that performs identically as the one I posted) on v2. Then I copied the layers and pasted them into v1 and saved it. That's the file I uploaded. I've now posted the v2 version here, for completeness. The blend modes are normal. The gradient layer has a linear blend range applied. All I did was create a new file and: Create a gradient, with varying alpha Apply a non-default blend range (I used 0% to 100%) Add a live Gaussian blur Tried to change the blur to something other than 0px I presume the reason you see the alpha only change in 85% is because the white parts of the pixel layer have no transparency to begin with. It appears that this is the same bug as afp-3062, and was reported back in 2020, and then logged with the developers. Too bad it's still there. blur-confusion-v2.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the simple workaround. Return 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff NathanC Posted June 13, 2023 Staff Share Posted June 13, 2023 Hi @Corgi, This is a known issue currently logged with the developers, i've updated the existing issue and bumped it with your report. The tag for this issue is slightly different to afp-3062, but it is the same issue. 🙂 NotMyFault and Corgi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
