Pixel Spread Spread Blur regression?

Since the switch from 2023.3.2 z840s to 2026.2.2 on Mac, I have been getting artifacting when using the Spread Blur parameter on the Pixel Spread node in Batch. It didn’t used to do this. Has anyone else run into this issue? Should I report it as a bug?

The artifacting is the multiple dashed lines around the matted area I’m spreading to put something back in front of something else that I retouched.

This is most certainly setup specific.

Maybe try a clamp for the input alpha for the pixel spread

Ooh good call! But sadly no dice. The alpha is just masks from a Gmask Tracer.

I haven’t seen the issue, but yeah, report away. If you can reproduce the issue it should be reported.

Speaking of which, does anyone know HOW to report bugs these days?

edit: apparently you use the “AI” chatbot. :roll_eyes:

Yes

Download autodesk pigeon or catch one in flight using a paper clip and a rubber band.

Then follow the support links and submit your problem.

Very straight forward.

Not even half as heroic as encoding your message with the stump of a pencil on a damp piece of paper from the trenches…

Yes I see the same issue in Parallax mode, but it’s fine in Stretch
