Can you explain following behaviour:
1. Create a new layer (transparent) – background layer. Ensure it is transparent (no fill)
2. Select black forgrund and white background color
3. Create new text layer, write some text in black
4. Rasterize the text layer
5. Use Gaussian blur to blur the text significantly.
6. Since text is blurred, you will see various shades of black including grey.
However, if you see the histogram, you will only see a single line in left most side indicating only concentration of black. This appears to be not correct.
Interestingly if your background layer was filled with some color, say white, you will see proper histogram with various shades.
