SUMMARY In Krita 4.4.1., the Luminosity/Shine (Sai) blending layer mode is not the same as to when the mode first came out in Krita 4.2.4. It creates a dull white, which dulls the design. I have reported this first on the krita-artists.org forum, where tiar looked it over and helped me to report it here, calling it a regression. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the file in Krita 4.4.1. 2. Draw with a 100% white while the layer blending mode is Luminosity/Shine (Sai). 3. The dull effect will appear. 4. Downgrade to Krita 4.2.4 5. Repeat step 2. 6. The original light effect will occur. OBSERVED RESULT Matte/dull white effect, which dulls the entire design EXPECTED RESULT Light shine effect from previous version, Krita 4.2.4 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Created attachment 133474 [details] This is the link to the shared files in a Google Drive folder. "Pineapple Cherry Monkey - 4.2.4." is the .kra file with two Lumiosity/Shine (Sai) layers created in the two versions of Krita. Layer 59, in the "Eyes" group, is the Luminosity/Shine (Sai) blending mode layer created in Krita 4.2.4, while the layer just under it, named "Highlights", is the Luminosity/Shine (Sai) blending mode layer created in 4.4.1.
I have downloaded the latest version of Krita, Krita 4.4.2, and as I was working on a project, I used the Luminosity/Shine (Sai) blending mode in this version and the light effect works perfectly! Thank you so much Krita developers for fixing this issue and for making this version incredible!
