Ezbaze Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 What Application are you using? Photo Are you using the latest release version? v2.1.0 Can you reproduce it? Yes Does it happen for a new document? If not can you upload a document that shows the problem? Yes hardware acceleration Same issue with both. What happened for you (and what you expected to happen) Using a Procedural Texture live Filter, with alpha being the only channel being applied to create weird artifacts on outlines on elements under the texture, it happens whether it's a mask or a child layer inside a group Child Layer Masked Group Recipe for creating the problem Procedural Texture: Procedural Texture can also just be 0 with A Channel:
NotMyFault Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 can you please add the actual test file? Goodby Forum, thanks for good discussion and so much support from great peers and Affinity staff.

NotMyFault Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 the issue is not specific to procedural texture filter. You can create similar artefacts using channels mixer: reduce "offset" on alpha, or alpha input level adjustment: reduce black / white level or curves adjustment. A trigger condition is the group layer with blend mode "passthrough". Goodby Forum, thanks for good discussion and so much support from great peers and Affinity staff.

A trigger condition is the group layer with blend mode "passthrough". The main point is that it causes the Outline Layer Effect on an object inside the group to look buggy, I would expect the Procedural texture to stay on top the same way that it does on parts that aren't the Outline Layer Effect I was also not able to replicate the artifacts you mentioned 🤔 I did find a workaround that uses a Fill Layer as the base, you then use the Procedural Texture as a clipping mask, and either duplicate linked the layer in the group or go over to the Designer and make a symbol, which you can then use as a mask on top of the Procedural Texture
NotMyFault Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Here my test file, using channels mixer to show issues on alpha channel. fx outline alpha issue.afphoto Goodby Forum, thanks for good discussion and so much support from great peers and Affinity staff.

Ezbaze Posted June 17, 2023 Author Posted June 17, 2023 Yes I see, this one doesn't seem to have as much of an effect though 🤔 Here's mine: fx outline issue procedural texture.afphoto
NotMyFault Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 another issue: if you reduce fill opacity below 100%, the pt filter on alpha stops working.

Staff Lee D Posted June 27, 2023 Staff Posted June 27, 2023 @Ezbaze If you change the zoom level with your file open, does the filter redraw differently as I've logged this to be looked into.
