another is it just me question

Attached a leaflet/menu mock up for a restaurant. When trying to apply some of the new filters to certain elements in this recycled drawing of the vase of flowers I get a result as in the screen shot.
Is there a difficulty in applying some effects to some types of object, particularly if they have had effects applied earlier. I don't remember noticing this before with earlier effect plugins etc.
Can it be that the drawing, originaly produced in an earlier version of xtreme has elements that are now incompatable with newer effect types?

At least the text repel worked well Derek.

Forgive me Derek, but I can't make out what the problem could be?
Can you explain what result you are referring to?

Sorry
The screen shot on the right. When I applied the soft focus blur to the bottom of the image, which was a separate shape which already had Redfield Water Ripples, feathering and transparency, I get a white rectangle with a black rectangle in the centre.
I've noticed this a couple of times with other shapes with multiple effect applied I just wanted to know if others had experience the same problem with one effect on another?

Thanks Derek.. understood

I cannot reproduced this though.

Here's a file that started as a solid circle, had Flaming Pear flood applied, then Refield Ripples in Xtreme v 3.2

I brought it into Xtreme4 and applied the new LE soft focus without any white rectangle appearing.

BTW: Just realised I've created a cool candyfloss effect

Ok, see attached.
First- pink rectangle with water ripples, then soft focus
Second- pink rectangle, water ripples, feathering and then soft focus result black feathered rectangle.
Might not be a combination everyone would stumble on and is only of interest to see if it is just me that gets it or if its a minor bug and a combination to be avoided in future.
