5.7 Landscape paint layer blend issue

Hello. Is anyone aware of a way to make the new landscape paint layer system work like it did prior to 5.7? Or a place with updated docs? Setting up a basic landscape layer material I’ve tried everything I can think of to have the layers interact properly but it always seems to be blending them partially (painting the red as yellow) and can’t paint the base layer on top of the second layer.

Wanted to update with another example. So on the left the red is blending with the blue, but if you erase all layers and paint the red, it appears as expected.

I am having the same issue but couldn’t find a workaround unfortunately.

Here’s to hoping someone chimes in with a solution. Seeing as this new way breaks 5.6 and older landscape materials you’d think there would be some documentation on how to update them.

I hope the problem can be solved

I had this issue as I remember and I sort of fixed it by arranging my layers and importing them in again, seems it’s some sort of layer order issue because painting the layers was flipped as to how it was.

Hoping to get a fix for this

Unfortunately not having any luck changing layer order. I’m back in 5.6. Still no success with anyone solving this?

I found the solution. You need to select the currently painted layer and erase it. You can erase the current layer by selecting the layer then hold shift while painting. After that, you can paint the new layer.
