Issue with colors [SOLVED]

[SoCu]

Hi, I’m not sure if something changed in the latest update, I’m on version 12.0.4, build 1, but I can’t see the actual colors of the styles.
For instance, I applied a style featuring colorful confetti, but it’s displaying in white.
With another confetti style that is supposed to be gold, the confetti appears black.

Unless the settings changed for some reason, I haven't altered anything myself, I’ve tried looking for an option to change this behavior but haven't found anything.

Can anyone tell me if I need to adjust a setting, or why this is happening?

Thanks.

I have to say that I’ve tried changing all the settings in this section, and even disabling it, but it doesn't show any changes.

Post a single slide Template/BIZ so that someone can take a look for you?

Hi, here is the link to the project. Regarding the samples of these styles, I believe they were posted here, though I’m not entirely sure, they did display color back when I first tested them.

The other example, the one with the confetti showing the gold color, was a video; I’m not sure why, but it displays correctly now.

The two examples I’m showing in this project are the ones that aren't displaying in color right now.

SoCu,

This Style works OK with Version 11.

Possibly Igor can throw some light on this??

Hi SoCu

I confirm this style works well with PTE 11 and unfortunately the confetti appears  white with PTE 12

Hi,

I see the problem with this style (confetti) in V12. We’ll check the code today.

Hi Socu,

New version of this style (confetti) for PTE 12

Multicolor confetti-2.ptestyle

Hi,

I understand your frustration.

In V11, there was a bug - Hue slider in the Hue/Lightness/Saturation Color filters was changing the color of black and white (grayscale) images. This is not correct behavior. In a grayscale image, there is no color (no saturation), so the Hue slider should have no effect - this is standard behavior in Photoshop and other image editors, too. We fixed this bug in V12.0.

Normally we're trying to keep backward compatibility between versions. But this case is different, because it was not a feature, it was a bug. Keeping it working would mean keeping the color filters broken.

For this kind of effect, I recommend the "Coloration" color filter in PTE AV Studio. Unlike Hue/Saturation, so you can set it to any color you like. This will give you full control and a predictable result.

Alternative option: it may be easier to prepare those color variations in Photoshop first, then bring these images into PTE AV Studio.

Thanks,
Roan Jon, I've already downloaded it. Before installing it, I'm going to try to fix a couple more versions that have the same issue. If I can do it the way Igor says, I think I downloaded them from here, but I can't find the post to report it.
