dmstraker Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 As I understand it, when you add an adjustment layer but make no changes, then do a blend mode on it, it has the same effect as duplicating the original pixel layer and doing the same blend mode. Hence this provides a handy way of doing a duplicate blend without having to double the pixel count. When you duplicate the background image and do a linear burn on the duplicate, you get a general image darkening, as I'd expect. But if you add an adjustment (eg. Curves or HSL) and do a linear burn on this (without making any adjustments) you get a very different effect - it looks half like a hard mix. Bug?

Rick G Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 That is WEIRD. I opened a fairly bland fog scene and added a curves adjustment. Without any adjusting I changed the curve to linear burn and the colors that appeared from an otherwise brownish photo Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Mine was just a flat picture with no other layers until I added a curves adjustment and set it to linear burn dmstraker 1 Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 4, 2019 Thanks all. Both cases reproduced (with and without masks). I'm passing this to the dev team to be looked at.
