Hello @veebhan38226741mwwr,

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, system config (CPU/GPU/Memory), a public link to a sample file after uploading it to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc., and a screen recording of your workflow and the problem (https://adobe.ly/45VhuUP), so we can investigate this further?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

You are probably working in a CMYK document, some blend modes behave different in CMYK. Try this in an RGB document.

@Ton Frederiks That you so much for the guidance. Problem is solved as i changed the document color mode to RGB. Have a great day 🙂

Good ton hear that helped, if you ever want to convert it to CMYK, rasterize it first in RGB mode.
