Digbydo 2 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I've recently come across several images by a photographer called ~ Bob Colameco ~ The two attached images I have screen shotted and they come from part of his 'Urban Abstract' series of images, which can be found at ~ colamecophotography.com ~ and it is this 'Type' of image I would love to recreate. Obviously I don't know exactly how to do it or go about it so, Does anyone have any idea or a possible workflow on how to achieve this look or something similar? On closer inspection some if it looks like a Double Exposure has been used or, if not that, then… perhaps its a Texture Layer or two that has been added along along the way complete with some saturated colouring and a bit of blurring. Any help or pointers to a video instruction would be great. (yes, I have searched but so-far no luck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted August 26, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 26, 2021 Hi @Digbydo 2, Unfortunately I'm not 100% certain personally how this effect has been created, however another member of our forums has recently shared work in a similar vein to the artwork shown at the link in your post. Please see the following threads for this great work - I hope @Michael S Harvey does not mind me comparing the pieces, and potentially they may be able to offer you some more specific advice, along with our other forums members here Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Any help or pointers to a video instruction would be great. (yes, I have searched but so-far no luck) If you have two similar images and wish to create the double exposure effect then I suggest using the New Stack function to load both images in to Affinity Photo as stacked layers. Play with the pass through function to get the best mix, I suggest mean, median, range or outlier. When you have a suitable result rasterize and trim the image then edit the resulting image in the Develop persona to adjust colour and saturation to your own preference.

kirkt Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 It looks similar to an oil painting/pastel filter or Topaz Labs "Radiance" filter applied to the image and blended with the original. kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
