Erider Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hi everybody ! I don't think it's really a bug, but I'm facing a problem with Designer, Publisher and Photo and there is no "free speech graphic design related category". When I want to place shadows, they adapt in terms of opacity according to the content of the above layer. I have tried different methods, like generating the shadow with a black layer underneath and a blur effect, or by changing the fusion mode. Is there a way which allows the shadows to have the same intensity, no matter the contents of the above layer? I put a screenshot of the problem. Thank you all!

Erider Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hi Carl, I can't upload whole document because it's professional work but I'm sending you an example document. I don't think that this is an interpretation of the brain because it's visible even by zooming or by masking "the content". This is not the only document that is problematic on that side. Thanks for your help Shadows problem.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I've added 2 white rectangles onto your design The shadows now appear to be uniform. Also (without the white rectangles) if I colour sample the areas where the shadows appear not to be the same, I get the same colour values It's possible my brain is just broken but see what you think Shadows problem2.afdesign Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Erider Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 I don't think your brain is broken I just did a test on ebodA pohsotohP (I had not thought about it), same result. So there are two possibilities ... Either it's an interpretation of our brain Either that's the way the shadows work That's f*****g mind breaking ! But thanks for you help Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted September 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 9, 2019 This is definitely a trick of the eyes. I came across this great image that demonstrates this very well. Colour pick both A and B - they're both 120, 120, 120 yet the eye perceive them as being widely different due to the surrounding colour.

The famous “Adelson's checker shadow illusion”. Here’s another example. The luminance of all the grey rectangles is the same.
