Bug - Affinity Photo 2.4.0 (2222) Luminance mask / Hue mask

[AP-]

Macos 14.2.1 on M2 Pro

Affinity Photo 2.4.0 (2222)

Steps to reproduce:

Open document.

Create luminosity mask, play with with the curve. No discernible change occurs. Going out of the mask and clicking on it, the curve has reset to default. Note that it loads and applies presents fine, however, but these cannot be edited, and revert again, to the saved values. Expected behaviour - modifying the curve modifies the mask, and does not lose current edited values. Hmm. Oddly enough, clicking on the checkboxes changes the blur radius slider from 0 to 1 to 0.

 

?!?!?

 

Create hue mask, play with the wheel. No discernible change occurs. Going out of the mask and clicking on it, the wheel has reset to default. Does not mask the default hue range either. Have not checked presets here.

 

Happy new year.

Hi @AP-,

I can confirm that I'm seeing the same issue with both the Luminosity Range and Hue Range Masks...

1. The Preview doesn't work for either
2. The Graph Settings are removed once the Mask Dialog is closed

Thanks @Hangman.

I've been playing with this a bit, because the masks are something I use all the time.

Quick fix for the luminosity mask: Edit your curve. Play with the blur radius. It now displays. Or click the linear checkbox, it also now displays. Seems to want to fiddle the radius and. that does it.

My guess would be that when you fixed the blur radius slider bug that I reported previously, the fix introduced the new bug.

Dear Serif! Please to fix before release! I trade you the spiral tool. Thank you for addressing the other mask bugs though.

I can confirm this is the case, it appears you have to adjust the Blur Radius and then move it back again to its original setting or check then uncheck (or vice versa) with the Linear checkbox for the graph setting to both preview and for the setting to remain in place between closing and reopening the Mask dialog window...

If this is really about 2.4, it should have been posted in Other New Bugs and Issues in the Betas, not here in the general Bugs forum.

Perhaps (if that's true) a moderator will move it.

Hi AP-

Thanks for letting us know - I can reproduce that here and will get it passed on to development.

Hi,
I have a problem with the general use of any mask. They appear but don't work. When I switched back to version 2.3.1 it worked perfectly fine.

Hi Lecho,

Would you be able to create a new thread for this issue and attach a video detailing/reproducing the issue you're getting and attach any supporting files (ideally so we can also open them in 2.3.1 to compare) you've used.

Thanks!
