Despite all the advantages of Canvas in the future, I would like to temper expectations somewhat. Firstly, you need more developers (which are in short supply) to satisfy the pent-up wishes of customers, so I don't expect a fundamental breakthrough with 2.5 and secondly, software development also takes time. Ergo, we won't see any major effects until v3.0, and if that comes with a subscription, at least I don't mind. Just my two cents

Checked and it seems to be behaving as desired.

With all the hype surrounding Canva's acquisition, let's not forget it's Easter. Have a great Easter. Made with Affinity Photo, assets from @v_kyr.

Done, good idea.

I'm not annoyed but quite sad about how things have turned out. There was once hope for an LR clone and AI supported image processing as well as a first class raw converter. I'll probably be able to forget that after the latest developments ... But of course a good day for the employees at Serif, their jobs have certainly become more secure.

Difficult times are coming...

As far as I know you have to rasterize and trim the layer before.

Using various filter and layer to make a color sketch from a picture in Affinity Photo.

Made with Affinity photo, using the filter "Detect Edges" and framework from Daub Papers "Single Paper" .

but a nice photo in springtime, isnt it ? Developed in Develop persona and than processed in Photo persona ( Contrast, Saturation in LAB, sharping with highpass filter, Vignette with Curves in LAB)

It doesn’t work in MacOS. Ask skylum for Support because Serif can’t provide a plugin for a program that is from another company.

I like the "Displace-Filter" very much, have it used for painterly effects like this.

Today a different slogan, a different texture and a different font. I tried to imitate an old typewriter.

Can you show us an example in both variants? I can't judge the importance of the variable font feature.

The font was Unique Regular.

@Dan C, I testet it also without changing the curve and the preset name is not displayed the second time.

When I create a live brightness range mask, I can select which preset I want to use. So far it works fine, but when I close it and open it a second time, only the curve is displayed and the name of the preset, i.e. Highlights, Midtones or Shadows, is no longer shown. I think the error is not necessarily new in V2.4 of Affinity Photo. In addition, the opacity is set to 1% when a preset is selected. Attached screenshot Bildschirmaufnahme 2024-03-05 um 18.25.26.mov

With Affinity Photo created, Soft Sketch Macro from James Ritson, Daub paper as Drawing paper

Complete made with Affinity Photo 2.3.1, textures from Affinity(D.Wuestenhagen packet) and texturelabs. My own photo served as the basis, the processing was to go in a painterly, impressionistic direction.

No you can whatever you want load in a layer and apply to your object(s) with a layer effect like multiply, overlay, soft light …

@deepblue,The texture I used comes from the Daub papers I bought here in the Affinity Shop. There is only one texture which I have placed as a layer over everything in linear burn mode.

My very first project with Affinity Designer is an abstract picture. I learned a lot. I only missed the fill layer. What is the equivalent in Designer? In my project I have used a simple rectangle shape.

Thank you for your effort .Very informative and good for learning and familiarising yourself with Affinity Designer. I will probably be busy with the material in the near future
