makspyat Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Hi, I was adding a little Orton effect in Beta 1.7.0.293. So I added a Gaussian Blur layer. It introduced ugly looking tiles. I switched Gaussian Blur layer's blend mode to Normal on the screen-shot below in order to amplify tiles, but the same artifacts can be seen with Screen mode as well, it is just a tad less pronounced: At this point, I am getting a bit tired of seeing bugs and thinking of switching back to Adobe. Please help. EDIT: I attached a cropped slice of the image in .afphoto format - I can still see the issue when I load this file. UPDATE: I edited the image in AP 1.6.5 using the same steps - the good news is that this bug is only reproducible in the recent AP Beta. Switching back to 1.6.5 for now.

HVDB Photography Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 It's definitely a bug ... The problem occurs when the adjustments are grouped .

makspyat Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 For me this kind a bug is a no-go. I can live without plugins, but I won't use AP if built in tools fail. Either Serif fixes this, or I am switching to Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, pretty sure Serif will fix it eventually so it's not much of a threat unless you are going to give them some sort of timescale that you could live with. Alternatively, for now, if you want to continue using the beta, just ungroup the adjustments (as hinted at previously) or add the image to the group TEcHNOpls 1 To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
