Since Build 891 problems with blendMode "add" added

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Hi,

in 891 additional blend modes where added.

Problem is that now the blendMode “add” behaves differently (does not work as intended).
It seems like the “addend” is much stronger now, particles that were quite faint before now are very much visible now.

This is a big problem because it destroys all my graphics, I’m using blendMode everywhere.
But I cannot use the older builds before 891, because of… lots of reasons, to many to list here.

Here’s an image from the app to demonstrate it (snowflakes are much stronger now):

And there are much worse examples in my app now… :frowning:

Best,
Andreas

Hey guys, really sorry about this. We noticed a bug in our “add” blend mode implementation — it did not visually match Photoshop’s “Linear Dodge (Add)” blend mode. When we added the other blend modes, we felt we should fix “add” so it matches Photoshop. After all, it is the industry-standard.

Hi Walter,

thanks for the info, so it’s back to Photoshop - we need to rework all particles and lots of art.
BUT: I’m still very happy with Corona for x-platform dev, keep on the good work!
