Feature request - motion blur

Hi

 

It would be great if you made it possible to use motion blur in Affinity designer.

Hello @eiketre,

motion blur is an effect available in Affinity Photo. From the way you word your request I assume you are aware of this.

So far Serif's strategy has been that one has to apply these kind effects in Affinity Photo if needed. This is due to their concept of keeping certain functions seperate instead of integrating everything in one big application. And pixel based effects seem to be perfectly located in their pixel centred editor Photo.

This seperation may be also due to marketing aspects but I do not know this for sure.

It is very easy to apply motion blur event to vector objects by switching to Affinity Designer via the 'File' menu and return afterwards. Provided you own both programs.  I assume this will stay like that for a while.

Cheers,
d.

Thanks.
Yes it was easy to bring the object into photo, do the motion blur, and bring it back to designer again.

And even easier if you also own Publisher, as you can simply switch between the Designer and Photo Personas in that case

That was a good recommendation Walt. I just purchased Publisher due to this. It works perfect.
Thanks a lot.

Hi @walt.farrell,

thanks for adding this way of working, too. I had it in mind but wanted to keep my answer simple. But as it turns out your suggestion was exactly what helped 🙂
