Offset filter? (like photoshop) does AP have one?

[Affinity iPad Student]

i’m taking a course, it’s on photoshop, but i follow along on my affinity photo ipad.

 

the instructor pulled up something called an offset tool located in the the filters - do we have some like that? because i cannot find it. thanks.

 Why not take a course on Affinity Photo, might be easier to follow 😁

What does it do? What effect does it have on pixels? A little more context would be helpful. 🙂

@DM1 Offset example in the bottom.

 

To answer your question why not follow affinity courses? Truthfully, I have not found any good compositing and special effects course material like Rikard’s (the photoshop instructor) for Affinity Photo. Rikard Rodin is amazingly skilled and a great orator. I’ve learned a lot from him. For the most part, I can follow along easy since the similarities between AP and PS are damn near virtual - i’ve been learning this way for about 6 months now. 

 

I paid for Rikards master suite, so i learn from his website courses not his youtube, below i’m just introducing him.

 

Also, when it comes to Affinity and real skills on display - - for the stuff i want to learn: (composites, photo manipulation, photobash) the talent pool seems to lie in photoshop. Affinity is nowhere in that conversation unfortunately. At least not from what i have found. I mean look at this young brother:

 

 

 

 

Regarding offset, I have never seen or heard of it, until now. Here is a clip of what Rikard is doing with offset:

Check out the Affine filter. It may be partly what you are looking for as it creates a duplicate image as shown in clip. To be clear, I’ve never used it and not clear what it’s purpose is. Hopefully mods can assist.

Today, I'm looking for Offset Filter on AP too and found this.

Never expected to such a sentence from you

Its kind of predecessor of pattern layer in some aspects.

It allows a combination of transformations (like move tool) and building patterns

• rotate
• scale (separate factors for x and y)
• use source layer as kind of tile, and repeat them as pattern

Yay this is the exact tutorial and feature I came here looking for. Offset is used for a lot of helpful stuff - for example, I work with Equisphere for 360 video content or skyboxes for WebXR. Also, I use it to create seamless texture for 3D modeling work. I am so glad this workflow exists in Affinity (of course it would) and that you pointed it out. I didn't expect it to be called Affine but here we are!
