Hi, Sven, can you explain what you mean by incorrect? I have explained it several times already. I don't think that I can explain it any better. There are internals involved here and we can't just change the user interface because of these internals. I think the blend mode in the fade UI

I use fading mostly after sharpening with refocus plug-in. And when the dialog initializes it has Replace mode set. But using fade operation with replace mode has no effect! This has been confirmed by Guillermo Espertino. So in order to obtain fading I have to change the mode to Normal each

I guess I begin understanding. The dialog should be initiated with the same blending mode which has been used during the last operation to prepare some internal data. And in order to take effect the mode should be changed by the user to the Normal afterwards. It should be due to the current

Ok with the need of the replace mode as the initial state of the Fade Tool, but what use does it have? I mean, in practical terms, you applied a filter, you want to fade back to the previous state... What's the replace mode use in that case? (if you drag the slider nothing happens). For the

By the way, what does the replace mode do in the fade dialog? It seems to have no effect when you adjust the slider. I understand why Alexander found it odd. I agree that the normal type should be the default (and the most expectable behaviour as well). Anyway, I'd like to know what is replace
