2.8 Hurdles and Roadblocks

So I am trying out eevee to render some effects that will be added to an image in Photoshop. 

Below you can see the viewport render that has a black plane behind it , this is what I am looking for but with transparency rather than black. 

If I delete the black plane and enable “transparent” in the film settings of the render properties. I get exactly what I want in the viewport render :

However , when I render out the actual image , I get this :

I can only assume this is down to there not being any black in the scene to show the lighting or glare , or perhaps I have something wrong in the render settings? 

Can anybody help out please?

Thanks in advance

Hi @waylow , thanks 

Here is the link to the dropbox folder with the link in it

Thanks @spikeyxxx , it works in the compositor as you say , I tested it below : 

However , I still need it with an alpha background rather than the black so I can use it in Photoshop. But if I remove the black background and save the image , and then drop it into Photoshop , I get this : 

Is the blue bloom being calculated and added in the compositor after the render is complete? How do I save this out with an alpha background with the blue bloom showing? 

Cheers! 

ahh great @spikeyxxx , thats exactly what I need . I didn’t think of that , I was assuming that there was a simple explanation since what is the point in having a bloom setting in the render if it doesn’t actually render it out – perhaps just as a visual aid but still a bit strange.
Anyways , I can get on with my project now,much appreciated:) 

I’m not sure if this is a 2.8 specific issue , but I’ve never come across it before in a previous version of Blender so for now i’ll post it here 

My bevel tool is doing all sorts of strange things today. You can see what I mean from the screenshots below , along with the macro window with all the bevel settings (which I have played about with , but with no success) 

At first I thought it was the object I was beveling , perhaps some incorrect normals , or un-applied transforms. But even on a default cylinder , added straight to the world centre , and immediately beveled yields the same issue.  (Shown in second image below) 

As usual , it will no doubt be something obvious, but I can’t for the life of me figure it out and it is holding me back as I use the bevel tool a lot in my modelling….

Any help would be hugely appreciated 🙂
