How to create a spirit-leaving-body effect in Affinity Photo?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, anyone with any ideas on how to create an effect like an out-of-body experience like in the image I've attached? Specifically, how to blur and lengthen parts of a specific image (like the hair and white clothing on the lady) and how to create such a glow around a person?

Any help will be greatly appreciated! I'm still learning.

Simply said, the execution is a bit more difficult:

Double the image of the floating body. Then mask the lower half of one of the bodies, apply a motion blur in the right direction (in this case - from top to bottom). Set layer mode (multiply or screen might work best in most cases) and adjust the opacity.

Finally make sure the masked and blurred body layer is underneath the copy in original state.
