Layer mask issue - suspected bug

[Jeroen]

In attached file, there is a pixel layer at the bottom. Above that sits a group with one layer, a pixel layer containing a gradient. This runs from a solid bluish color to a transparant (also bluish) color. So far no problem.

If I now add a new blank mask layer to the group, the colors suddenly and - to me - unexpectedly change.

If I do the same in 1.6, this behaviour does not happen. As long as the mask is blank, i.e., all white, it is not noticeable.

I suspect it may have to do with one of the sides of the gradient being transparant.

Hi Jeroen,
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something but I'm not able to replicate this in the current Affinity Photo Customer Beta 1.7.0.123 version. Can you please update Affinity Photo and check again? There was a few changes here in the latest build. Thank you.

Neither can I! It must have disappeared just between 122 and 123. All is fine now. Thanks!

It was probably fixed by some of the changes Andy made in the latest build (123). He have been fixing a few related issues. Glad to know it's all fine already.

You're welcome
