Creating an Interactive Loupe - for no particular reason ​🙃​

[JimmyJack]

Fun little exercise with no real practical use (I think).

Interactive Loupe:
Couple of notes:
• Requires filter(s) in Photo. It's not using actual zoom. It's using either a Spherical or Punch filter, and therefore is limited to their 100% values.
• To set a custom center point for the chosen effect click on canvas when it's panel is active.
• The three elements need to be selected as separate entities and moved together. Grouping them destroys the different "lock children" attributes needed.
• I'm not sure how useful it is. It's not really a tool per se. And Affinity doesn't do animation, so... there are faster ways to get to the same end result (without limitations) for a static output. Although, the slight curve of the filters sells the effect nicely 🤔.
• So it's really just kinda more of a fun trick. That's why I'm putting it here in Tutorials, rather than Resources.

That being said.... have a play.
