Symbol glow does not respect order of sheets

Robak

I mad a map in CC3 BW Style
Without using the sheet effect "glow" my symbols are on top of rivers as it should be. (See first picture)
But with using symbol glow (2; 0.25) the river outlines, which are behind the symbol seems to come in front of the symbols. (See second picture)

How can I avoid this problem? (Ok I can decide not to use the glow effect but this seems not to be the best solution)

Best Regards

and with glow

Use a different color for the river glow. I suspect the glow has the same color as the symbols (black) and this can confuse CC3's bitmap effects. Use the darkest blue or grey for the glow instead.

This does not work.
I changed the river glow color to blue(color 51) the symbol glow color to grey(color 241) and the road outline glow to red (color 2) but the effect is still the same. The effekt is also independent from using inside or outside glow for the symbol sheet.

Can you post your CC3 map itself, so I can take a look at it?

The problem is the Glow effect on the SYMBOLS sheet. It has problems with the white interior of the symbols on top of the white background. You can do the following:

- remove the glow on the symbol sheet completely and replace it with a soft Blur.
- do a copy of all the symbols on a sheet below the current SYMBOL sheet, with no effect attached.

I've done the latter option in the attached edit of the map.

Many thanks. The doubeling of symbol sheet works, but now the black-white-boarder inside the symbol does not have anymore a soft focus effect while the black-white-boarder outside the symbol has still a soft focus. I think I will use your blur tip to get the soft focus effect.
