Converting Letters or Pictures

[PhoenixA]

Hi,

I'm very new to Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo which I have both.  Right now, I'm in the process of researching all I can do with Affinity Designer before I buy another product.  Is there a way to convert pictures or alphabet letters into rhinestone lettering or pictures with Affinity Designer?  Thanks.
