Is there a flat colour comic book effect please?

Some years ago, with the version of DrawPlus or PhotoPlus that I had there was a comic book effect that could be used to process a photograph into a number of flat colour areas.

I remember trying it out with a print screen image from Google street view of the town square of Chalons-en-Champagne, France.

The number of flat colour areas used was a user choice. It worked well.

I have in mind using such a process so as to produce flat area colour artwork from a photograph and to then use that artwork to produce a glyph for a colour font, so flat areas of colour are what I need.

I suspect that if it is available it will be somewhere within Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo. I have bought licences for both but have, thus far, only used Designer a little and Photo almost not at all.

What you are describing sounds to me like Posterize. It is in the Adjustments layers.

Thank you. I'll try it.
