Hello,

I would like to report a visual issue I encountered while using your software. I hope this information can help your team verify whether it is a known issue or something that requires future correction.

Issue Description:
When I apply the “Darken Color” layer blending mode or use the Hue/Saturation adjustment, the previously unpainted white areas on the canvas unexpectedly turn black.
This behavior does not occur when neither of these operations is applied.

Expected Result:
White (unpainted) areas should remain white and should not be affected by layer blending or hue adjustments.

Actual Result:
White areas are incorrectly rendered as black, causing an unnatural darkening or inverted effect on the canvas.

Steps to Reproduce:
   1.   Create a new canvas (white background).
   2.   Add a new layer and fill it with any color.
   3.   Perform either of the following actions:
  - Set the layer’s blending mode to “Darken Color”, or
  - Use the Hue/Saturation adjustment to change hue.
   4.   Observe that the previously white areas of the canvas turn black.

Test Environment:
   •   Device: iPad Pro (Model A1701)
   •   Operating System: iPadOS 17.7.10
   •   App Version: Latest version (as of October 2025)

Additional Notes:
This issue may be related to how white pixels are processed during color blending or hue conversion. It seems the algorithm treats white areas as darkenable pixels, resulting in incorrect black rendering.

Thank you for taking the time to review this report.
If needed, I can provide a screen recording or sample file to help reproduce the issue.
I look forward to your response and any updates regarding this behavior.

Best regards

Have you checked the parameters for the fill tool? Sometimes when I get strange effects I have set the blending mode to something else than normal by accident. I have the 2017 iPad pro 13 and I could not reproduce the behaviour.

Yes, everything else in the settings works fine. The problem only started after I updated the software. When I use the normal brush on the measurement layer, black color blocks appear and contaminate the area. However, all other layer modes work normally, and coloring behaves as expected when I’m not on that layer.

Strange I didn't trigger it. Same OS version and hardware. I'll try again when I get a chance to sit down with the iPad. I'm terrible at following instructions so I might have done something wrong, I usually do.

當我將圖層模式切換到顏色燒錄時,會出現一個異常的黑色問題。 所有其他圖層模式工作正常,但當我在使用Color Burn時使用普通刷子時,會導致黑色塊汙染。
