åvision Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 Is there any way to do Liquify non destructively on Affinity Photo for iPad / desktop, like in PS, one can convert layer to smart object and then apply Liquify filter? Quote
telemax Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 For the desktop version, quick access to non-destructive filters is in the Layers panel: Quote Non-destructive Mask https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/150439-non-destructive-mask/Image layer & Pixel layer https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/146720-image-layer-and-pixel-layer/Brushes | Stars https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/135202-brushes-stars/

Can you provide an example, via screenshot or video, showing what happens? A sample .afphoto document might be nice, too.

NotMyFault Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 I can confirm that just adding a live liquify filter on iPad drastically reduces the quality of an image (while open in Photo), even when nothing has been modified. It seems like falling back to “normal” instead of “retina” quality, or using a different resample mode.

NotMyFault Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 Here is my test file. I used it to demonstrate that Photo does not render correct at zoom level 100% (red lines). You need to zoom to at least 200% to get correct rendering (black / white lines). in case you activate the liquify layer, even at 200% the rendering gets wrong. Actually, it delivers wrong rendering at any zoom level. It seems liquify filter uses incorrect resampling. On Desktop, you could switch view mode to nearest neighbor which sometimes mitigates the issue.
