Turn a photo into a digital painting?

[ohehlo]

One thing I was hoping to do with Affinity is easily make a photograph look like an oil paining, or something along those lines. I've seen photoshop tutorials for this. Can Affinity Photo do it as well? I haven't figured out how, if so. Here's a photoshop reference for what I'm hoping to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaxTDQ3fm1g

Hi, your youtube link doesn't show.

Thanks for posting the link for me!

Any ideas on how to accomplish this in Affinity? I appreciate any help!

The Camera Raw filter equivalent in AP is the Develop Persona--here is where you can adjust the exposure, saturation, etc., as shown on the video. There are other ways also, but this is the closest analog to what is taught in the video.

 

Also on the Develop Persona, you can get the softening effect by using the Noise Reduction sliders. I was not able to get the Denoise filter in the Photo Persona to work in the same way--perhaps someone else will chime in on that one.

 

For the Glow effect, it is found in the Photo Persona, Filters>Blur>Diffuse Glow.

 

I think you can follow the video tutorial rather closely by making these substitutions for AP.
