Gear maker Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Can anyone explain why in the attached drawing when any blur is added the black lines turn white? Lines.afdesign Select the group Lines. Add the smallest amount of blur. The black lines will change to the color of the white. I'm using AD 1.6.2 for this.

Staff MEB Posted January 23, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2019 This is due to a bug between the Gaussian Blur FX and the (different) blend modes applied to the grouped lines (multiply and screen). Unfortunately it also happens with the latest Beta. I will pass this to the dev team to be looked at. Thanks for lettings us know Gear maker.

carl123 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 As a workaround... Ungroup the lines Select all the lines in the Layers Panel Apply the FX blur to all layers at once Regroup the lines Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Gear maker Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 MEB, I have been doing some more exploring on this. Even if all layers in the group have the same blend mode, the group itself has Passthrough causing a mismatch which will stop the blur from working properly. If the group can be changed to match the blend mode of all the layers then everything works. I thought that info might help.
