In case you have a fully opaque background layer, and add any filter or adjustment which reduces alpha, it seems that Affinity does not respect the alpha blending formulas. 

In case you add any adjustment which reduces alpha, in blend mode normal it is expected that the result is a blend of a semi-transparent layer (on top) and a fully opaque layer (bottom), which always results in a fully opaque blend result.

Affinity instead renders the result with the alpha value of the top layer.

While I appreciate the ability to directly impact the alpha channel of layers, it is against the rules of layer blending.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.
