paulzabphoto Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Hi, I’ve seen a couple of threads here about getting the ripples on water effect but I can’t find any pertaining to circular ripples. I've attached a screenshot of the type of ripple effect I'm looking for. Anybody know how to achieve this?

v_kyr Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 There is a simple ripple filter (but affects the whole image) under ... Layer ▸ New Live Filter Layer ▸ Ripple Filter ... click anywhere on an image to set its center. - In order to get multiple smaller circular ripples, create some in own smaller water documents and take those over then (copy & blending). Or use some free vector defined ones you can place/size/perspective skew... etc. the way you need them as layers into your image.

paulzabphoto Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hi, Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of the ripples filter and have tried it. But even just to get one ripple in a circular fashion doesn't seem to work.

v_kyr Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 You can try placing and blending over some gray/transparent based circular ripples, ideally as vectors so you can duplicate and rescale those to your needs. You can also build your own ones, just use some grouped layers of circular gradients with several color points, make them slightly transparent or the like, copy/paste/resize/change their perspective and used colors to your image needs. - So maybe something like that here (all curve gradients)... water-drop.afdesign water_drops.afphoto Or try out to resemble/recreate this PS based way here in Affinity Photo ...

v_kyr Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 You can also get quite good results with transparent PNG circle ripple images, just adjust their size and color (recolor) and remove unwanted areas/portions with the eraser tool. water-photo.afphoto firstdefence 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
