Orbek Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 EN: What filter to use to get the effect similar to the Phptoshop emboss? Unfortunately, when I use FX in Affinity, it only extrudes the edges of the layer, not its contents. PL (jakbym cos pomieszał po ang.): Jaki filtr zastosować aby uzyskać efekt zbliżony do tego z Phptoshopa? Niestety gdy stosuję FX w Affinity wytłacza mi wyłącznie brzegi warstwy, a nie jej zawartość.

firstdefence Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Try exporting the the Perlin Noise texture to a png file and then using a little app called CrazyBump.

iconoclast Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 You could try the free G'MIC-Pllugin. It has more than 500 filters, and in the section "Rendering" there is also a "3D-Extrusion"-filter, if that is really what you are searching for. Even check out the filter "3D-Elevation" in the same section. Possibly even the "Bump Map"-filter of GIMP could be interesting for you.

iconoclast Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 In case of images with 32 Bit colour depth, the plug-in is greyed out because G'MIC only supports 8 and 16 Bit. But in fact if you use the Affinity Photo-Version from the Microsoft Store, G'MIC will possibly not work. In that case you will get an error message. That unfortunatley is the case for me. I use G'MIC with GIMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effect is the same for both RGB / 8 and CMYK. I have the entire Affinity package from the manufacturer (https://affinity.serif.com/).

In that case you must rightclick on the layer and click "Rasterize" first, before you start G'MIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasterization is not helping, but I noticed something strange. When I open, for example, a texture - the plugin works. When I create an empty document and throw in the same texture - the plugin doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that it doesn't have to do with rasterization? If you open an image, it's already rasterized (see screenshot1). The layer name contains (Pixel) then. If you drag an image into a document, the layer name says that it is an (Image) (see screenshot2). So it has to be rasterized first, before you can start G'MIC. As I said, I can't tell you more detailed things, because G'MIC doesn't work in my Affinity Photo anyway. Here is a LINK to the thread about my problem. Don't know if it will help you.

firstdefence Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The emboss feature in photoshop is likely using a directional lighting technique, so, to that end Using the live adjustment filter: Lighting will get you the texturing you need.

Orbek Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 This filter (lighting) and Color>Emboss are partly what I'm looking for 😉 It's not exactly the same, but at the moment it must be enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconoclast Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 If you export your Perlin-Noise-Image as f.e. PNG, load it as Bump-Map into the Lighting-Filter, that you apply to the same image, and then play a little with the Texture-Ruler, it will look like this. The 3d-Extrusion-Filter in G'MIC wasn't a good tip (Sorry!), but there is also an Emboss-Filter in G'MIC (section "Details") that looks somehow similar to this. Is this what you are looking for?

It looks really good now. I will test tomorrow for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I would still take a look at CrazyBump as a useful tool, it's about as simple as it gets...
