Ammar Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Some design Apps have what is called background blur where when set to an object it blurs the portion of layer below it that’s covered by the object is there something similar in Affinity Designer ?

firstdefence Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Never heard of that one but Affinity Designer doesn't have a Background blur filter in the way you mean, even in Pixel Persona. You can probably concoct a background blur in Affinity Photo by making a selection of the top object and adding some feather to a blur filter. Do you know which apps have this feature or an example would be good.

RNKLN Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Would be nice to have a background blur effect in Affinity products. In the meantime, here's a way you can simulate it with little effort.
