duke22 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 hello, Is there any way to place a blur layer over all the images, so not everything is recognisable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AffinityJules Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 You can use a live gaussian blur filter if that's what you mean? Or go to the 'filter' menu and select gaussian blur - both methods will blur out the entire image.

I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. These are not my own words but I sure like this quote.

duke22 Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 yea no issue doing it for individual image but I have 8 images in there and was wondering if I could not just put one layer over all images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl123 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Or group whatever (images) you want blurred and add the gaussian blur layer to the group. Everything outside the group will remain unblurred AffinityJules 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Yea tried that but it did not seem to work in Designer 2 had to blur each image individually, how do you create the layer creating a blank new layer and applying blurr FX does nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were using Photo and not Designer. As I am not a Designer user, I can't help you with that. Someone who actually uses the program will be more useful than me. duke22 1 Quote Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe.

R C-R Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 @duke22, are you creating a live blur layer 8 minutes ago, duke22 said: Yea tried that but it did not seem to work in Designer 2 had to blur each image individually, how do you create the layer creating a blank new layer and applying blurr FX does nothing This should work: First, put all the image layers into one group, for instance by selecting all of them & using Group on the Layer menu. Now, with the group selected in the Layers panel, click on the Layer Effects icon or choose Layer Effects... from the Layers menu. In the window that opens, tick the checkmark for Gaussian Blur at the end of the column on the left & add the blur with the Radius slider or by entering the radius in the text field next to it. duke22 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
