Hans-Peter Manser Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hello everybody! I’m quite a beginner to Affinity products (graphics at all) and I struggle with one thing: I want to achieve the result which is shown in this video. As you see, its a PS workshop and I wonder if its possible to create this effect in Affinity. too. Does anybody knows how to do? Or is there any tutorial out in the internet which I haven’t found yet? Thanks in advance! Hans-Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedee Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I am sure there are various methods on how to achieve the results posted on the video Engraved Money Effect, one method suggested would be to use the following site https://www.photopea.com to achieve the engrave texture referred in the video, the site has a similar menus to Photoshop and the very basic features. NOTE: When you get to Pattern fill in the video instruction you linked to in Photopea In order to do the fill layer pattern go Layer> Fill Layer> Pattern Fill I have not personally gone through the entire tutorial you referred to step by step with Photopea, but in the past used the technique just to create the engrave pattern once, save it as an Asset in Affinity Photo to apply it to other projects.

firstdefence Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 This is doable in Affinity and in some respects simpler thanks to the pattern layer, fx filter and the use of the equations filter. One problem is the engrave pattern texture effect. In the video it's hard to see what the end result should look like as the guy fleetingly zooms in a bit but not enough to see.

firstdefence Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hi @jaedee Your asset gave a nice effect and the engrave pattern is there but it looks different to the video. I followed the tut in Adobe Photoshop CC and this is the result, see asset file attached at the bottom. To compare see image below, yours is on the left and looks like it has transparency? The one I duplicated as per the video instructions is on the right, Screenshots are from Affinity Photo.

jaedee Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Understood. Thanks. Great asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedee Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I quickly created the one I did on photopea.com to provide a free option, and at 3000 x 3000 resolution. But it appears I missed something, missed a step(s) and/or missed with the resolution Thanks again for the attachment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
