dke Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The Highlights Strength slider has no effect in the 'normal' Shadows /Highlights filter and in the live filter. In the live filter there is a strange preview (see attached image). My system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. altae 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altae Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Are you sure? On my system it has an effect but not the one it used to. In 1.6 the highlights part darkened the image, now it brightens the highlights (at least the live version). I have not yet tested the "destructive" version.

altae Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I just tested the "destructive" version of the shadows/ highlights filter, it's the exact same behavior. Set the highlights range slider to something like 80 % or above to see a difference. The highlights strength slider brightens the highlights instead of darkening them as before. Below 80 % range the effect is hardly noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I get the same as dke. When first trying to apply the Live Filter Shadow/Highlights I get what the first screenshot shows. If I delete it and reapply then it seems normal. However the Highlights just allow lighting/brighten, not the ability to pull or darken highlights.

dke Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 The Highlights Strength slider has definitely no effect here - independent from the Highlights Range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myclay Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Same problem on windows 10 with the Live/Shadows filter, changing the renderer doesn`t fix it. Only seemingly solution to get rid of the transparency issue is to put the filter above the image, something must have been botched up there.

HVDB Photography Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 @Pattou How much megabyte is the file you have tested with? What are the specifications of your computer?

Staff Patrick Connor Posted November 20, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 20, 2018 You filled in the "about me" section. I have moved it to the signature section. Feel free to go back and fill "About me" in with something else Signatures only show in desktop view I think.

Chris_K Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hi All This is an issue with many live filters either applied as a child or as part of a group. This is an issue that has crept over form the mac side but I shall let the dev team know Thanks AiDon and Gnobelix 2 Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AiDon Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Seems the issue is something to do with the Navigator preview as after a RAW file is developed only the Navigator preview shows the grid and the adjustments.

unni Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I checked by having two gradient layers with the top one in difference mode. While changing the filter settings, effect is less for the highlights slider. It can be seen from the mild vertical grey area on the left side of the second image. In the gradient, full white is on the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unni Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 CS6 Two gradient layers, black left and white right. Top layer set to difference blend mode. Compared to AP, this gives symmetrical response and good adjustment range for the tonal width slider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
