Hi,
ich habe mal den getestet wie man den Text Präge Effekt auf Papier simulieren kann.
Dafür braucht man im Wesentlichen die Ebenenstile.

Hi Affinity Forum.
I´m using Affinity Photo iPad Beta 1.6.7.68 / iPad Pro 12,9" 1.Gen

Feature request for the awesome Affinity Photo iPad App:
Depth of Field / Tilt Shift with two finger functionality
 
With one finger the lines are going all over the place, it would speed up the workflow, if i can hold down another finger to keep the lines in horizontal position. Affinity Photo Mac / Windows already uses the SHIFT key to move around the lines with more control and that leeds to a much quicker workflow. Please add this feature to AP iPad, this would help to move around the lines horizonatlly and to stay in place.


For example:
I created a Affinity Photo Tutorial yesterday, i´m using the Filter - Depth of Field - Tilt Shift with holding down the SHIFT key on Mac. Jump to the section at 3:22 - https://youtu.be/R1EfFDQBzQA?t=3m22s

ENORMOUS KUDOS (yes, I'm shouting, the occasion needs it ! )   to Affinitytutorials and Affinity Jack.
 
That all is way beyond amazing. This is how you help an extremely good and smart suite of applications in growing and spreading.
 
That story reminds me a real lot -even a bit painfully-   to certain LOVABLE meetings with a bunch of illustrators which I deeply -very much-  respected, loved and for whom had (have) great admiration (they admired me too, huh... :D), in my country. It was not as organized and well driven as yours, but was really good, too. We also met in an online community and from there went to also expand it offline. At some point the community broke, mainly as the site, which was the central nerve of communication kind of got broken. I had to cease all activities too, due to life duties. But I am aware several of the most solid friendships from there yet stand today, very current. So, I guess, a pair of applications or as was our case, the joy that certain activity (illustration, photography, design, etd) gives you (or simply the joint for sharing same freelance profession) can go a long way, even if just started on inet (I always value higher direct RL relations, but it's became clear to me that internet "can" be a good way to start really good stuff. Hey, not all has to be bad or crappy on the internet....)
 
Great kudos, I had no idea this all existed...  And long life to it !

Hi @affinitytutorials, my friend Frank,
 
while reading this, it fills me with a lot of memories. ^_^
The www is not only a place for anonymism :ph34r:, but for finding friends.
At first we didn't know each other. Living 600 km away. But with this forum so near.
Today we are friends, not only in questions of Affinity.
I have so much fun with building up your Websites, helping the community, creating projects together and getting the knowledge of other Affinity-Users.
So we did with a Affinity-Meeting in Mönchengladbach/Germany 2 weeks ago.
Friendly people with a common hobby, from beginners to a pro-phographer (who won prizes in the categorie Fine Art!) :rolleyes:

Hi official Affinity Forum :wub:
 
My Name is Frank. I´m the founder of http://affinitytutorials.de/, https://affinity-forum.de/ and http://affinityphototutorials.de/
 
I´m an Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer user and supporter from day one (Mac Beta). When i started using Affinity i knew it was special and it´ll be huge. I loved the look and feel of it and i got comfortable and used to it very quickly, everything worked so smooth. Switching from Photoshop to Affinity is very easy and it´s a real alternative.
 
And to me that was the beginning back in 2015. I started to share my enthusiasm and love for the Affinity Apps in Germany. I started the first Affinity Tutorials only website http://affinitytutorials.de/. Everything is related to Affinity. This project became very quick a lot of work. I couldn´t do it alone anymore. I needed another Affinity enthusiast and found him here in the forums, my friend Affinity Jack.
 
We put a lot of time, money and effort in this project. Jack provided the germany Affinity community with Affinity Tutorials and i built the base in the background. Started to look for inspiration, news, articles and much more. It´s such a joy to get to know Affinity artists around the world like Neil Ladkin(Serif), Frankentoon, Heli Herrera, Paolo Limoncelli, Angie Elfin Art, Shugmonkey and Laurent Zimny. Thank you guys for your time and support.
 
In spring 2016 i opened the unofficial german Affinity forum https://affinity-forum.deand it is now very popular in germany. More than 1200 Affinity enthuiasts share their love and knowledge with the community. All different kinds of Affinity users are online, hobbyist and professional. What i love the most about the forum is that everybody shares her/her knowledge in a very friendly way. That´s something we are very proud of.
 
10.06.2017 we had the 3rd German Affinity Meet-Up. Guys from around germany (Berlin,Munich,NRW) came to visit and meet in person. It was such an awesome evening. We had dinner at a local restaurant, it was superb Biergarten weather :) I presented everyone a printed Affinity Meet-Up T-shirts for free and i´m never going to forget the happy smiles on their faces. We talked about how awesome Affinity is, shared workflow and tips&tricks and later that evening i presented the new Affinity Photo on iPad Pro 12,9". Everybody is amazed by Affinity Photo iPad. The Affinity Meet-Up was a great success, it was super nice and it´s like a big Affinity family.
 
Thank you Serif for the amazing software. Affinity - The future is now ;)
I´m using Affinity Photo / Affinity Designer on iMac 27" and Affinity Photo Beta on iPad Pro 12,9".
 
Thanks for your time everyone, thanks for reading. Have fun with Affinity.
Cheers Frank

Thank you Jack! :)

Thank you Jack, your videos are always enlightening.

The devs could take this much, much further, in my opinion. Photoshop's clouds filter, while useful, is a complete joke in regards to control. Affinity Photo's Perlin Noise is a good start, but the competition out there is fairly stiff nowadays.
 
Compare the following implementation:
 
Live filter, contrast and intensity, and other parameters such as detail, and X and Y repetition to fine-tune the cloud/noise effect. Multiple live noise layers can be combined freely, and even cloned/instanced.

Integrate multiple noise generators, and allow for custom colours.

Allow for custom presets and gradients.

And why not take it all the way, and integrate a non-destructive multi-layered texture generator with built-in embossing and lighting? And allow these textures to be used as fills?

 
Affinity devs: dig deeper! Go way beyond Photoshop! Others have done this already.

Hi,

Es geht um eine Gegenlichtaufnahme mit Lens Flare. Ich benutze hier das HDR-Verfahren. Ohne die noch folgende HDR Persona.
 
Viel Spaß wünscht Euch
