Screen not working correctly?

Postby grassyink » Sun Aug 05, 2007 10:00 pm

Hi all.

I have a question about the math ops in Inkscape.
When I build a black circle on a new document and make it's blend mode 'screen' it remains black. Over another object (say a red circle on a layer beneath) the screen works fine: the black circle is transparent. This appears to be a non standard behavior. Does anyone have any idea wether this is a bug or as designed?

Thanks

Glenn

Check your Document Properties and you'll probably find your background is transparent not white, that's why the object remains black.

Damn. :) I thought I was being clever.

Right you are.
