I'm not crazy! Well, that's a relief for my sanity at least. Now, I had noticed that the individual layers not receiving this effects was because the opacity was being applied to the effect too.. but I have no idea how it is actually programmed. Having the blend mode applies to the group and then having total control over every layer is extremely convenient and offered the most control with the best results.. But there is nothing we can do here? You're saying that the change is deliberate? Is there any way we could ask developers why they changed it? Any suggestions on how to create the effect without the use of multiple effects layers?

https://forums.adobe.com/people/D+Fosse wrote Exporting to PDF follows its own color management policies, independent from the Photoshop color settings. So there could still be a difference. Of course, you'd probably notice that at the time you saved out the PDF. And this difference doesn't really look like any color space inconsistencies I can think of. The export to PDF exported as expected and was virtually identical to the working PSD file at the time. That is why the PDF version serves as a good example as to how much the current PSD version had changed. The best I can come up with, as this if about Vivid light effecting transparencies of white, Solid white had never been effected. but not, transparencies of white are not either. Grouped or not, no effect is being calculated.

Thank you so much Dave. Here is a link to a PSD file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2x1d8rYyUjgRXowcjJTRHU3TlE/view?usp=sharing VividLight-Test.psd - Google Drive This is a new file with the blend layer applied the way that I would normally use the Vivid Light blend mode. (File is CYMK, for print purposes) This is what the blend mode looks on my end "Broken" I cannot show you how the effect is supposed to look in this example, but as you can see, any level of transparency to a solid white color acts as a "pass through" rather than actually effecting brightness and vibrancy as Vivid Light used to do. 100% white would appear as 100% white, but anything more transparent would cause the colors to pop. Similar to Overlay, but the algorithm looked and acted so much better than Overlay. I really appreciate you taking a look at this Dave. If anything, I just want to make sure I am not crazy, haha.

Yes. The color settings are the same. The example that I posted is the exact same file. I save out a PDF upon completing a project. So, what you are looking at is the previously saved PDF version as the before update, and the working PSD file as the after update. I can provide a couple more before and afters, but I cannot recreate the original effects because I do not have access to an earlier version of Photoshop.

Hey there Photoshop Community! So I am not sure which update it was, but over the last several months there has been a huge change to the vivid light blend mode algorithm. It functions completely differently than it used to. I have been searching the internet to figure out why but no one seems to be talking about it. Vivid light no longer works with the color white. Instead of the wonderful boost to brightness and vibrancy, white just acts as if there is no blend mode at all. There are other ways to achieve this effect, but that requires the use of multiple effects layers and masks, whereas vivid light could achieve the same effects from a single layer I’ve run into the issue where I now have to update several of my older files, but files where I use this effect have completely different color. I wanted to ask if there was a deliberate change to the vivid light blend mode or if this just happened to be an oversight. I’ve not found anywhere in the documentation that vivid light had been changed. Here is an example of before and after this change. As you can see, Vivid light acts very differently from before. Any thoughts on this matter are greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time in reading this and responding. I am running Windows 7 Photoshop 2017.0.1
