Lens Flare

[aloach]

Is there or are there any plans to have a lens flare tool?

Not in Designer. Affinity Photo will have lens flares at some point though.

but please don’t put those crappy PS/AI ones. 

 

Maybe something like VideoCopilot Lens flares? :D

Hi! Any updates on adding lens flare to Affinity Photo?

 

Thanks ;o)

Hi EvaBridget,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

No, not yet, sorry.

[EvaBridget]

Thanks so much MEB! I already feel like I'm at home  :D .

 

Will wait patiently for lens flare to come along...

Hi MEB :)  Any news on adding a flare tool - and if not, any ideas for other ways to do it?

[My1]

May I ask why this wont be a thing in affinity? I mean is it bad to design something with a nice lens flare?

especially with the designer being a vector software that's nice to use it's even more awesome because you can scale and render it at any resolution you like, and even better with the export persona (which I began to use mroe recently).

Hi My1,

I believe this will be added as a Filter to Affinity Photo (and will eventually be raster based). You will be able to use it anyway in Designer (if you own both) switching the document to Affinity Photo to adding the filter there.

too bad that this would be raster based, a vector based lensflare in designer would be pure awesome. because aith a raster based lensflare and importing it into designer I can also use Gimp (which I've use a long time, so I know my ways there, although there's it's called the Gradient Flare.).

Something like this in Designer would have been great!

Are we talking here about a tool to remove or reduce lens flare in a photo, or a tool to add lens flare to a photo (or design).

[My1]

add lens flares, I think

I too would love to see lens flare addition filters!

This should hopefully make the 1.7 update

I also hope it makes its way into designer.

Still no sign. Any chance?

It needs a lens flare effect .... I just tested the last vesion of Light Knoll Factory (v3.2) which still works in Photoshop CC 2019,  it doesn't work in Affinity Photo unfortuntely, the only other PS plugin I know off that includes lens fare effects is Digital Fiml Tools, sadly that doesnlt seem to work in Affinity Photo either :(

If using Windows you could bring over the image to paint dot net(freeware)
This supports most 8bf plugins

Yes I know but its not the same as having the effect in the program to avoid round trips to doifferent apps - Digital Film Tools also has a standalone app as well as the PS plugin

.... anyway while playing around with Photo BETA i tried a plugin I have by MediaChance Plugin Bridge - a wrapper so you can run 32bit plugins inside 64 bit version of Photoshop.... It seems to work well & I was able to use a 32bit version of Knoll Light Factory with it inside Affinity Photo.

Question????? ...... Can third party plugin effects be non destructive? I know Photo has the live/non destructuive built-in effects but any way to make 3rd party plugins non destructive like smart objects in Photoshop?

You could try making an overlay by creating a fill layer with black and applying the filter to that.
