mrs68tm Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 Hi, Starting from the below video done by GraphicalFinity I made two dithering templates, vertical and horizontal. Each template has the same structure: 1. background image, named Replace me!. Put your image above this layer, then delete it. 2.Channel Mixer Adjustment, make any tweaks needed for your image. 3. Dithering layer, hidden by default. If you want to apply any effect to it, make it visible. Apply any effect (see video), then make the Pattern dithering layer (see video). Before that, delete the initial Pattern dithering layer (4). 4.Pattern dithering layer, see video how to create it. 5. Treshold Adjustment, no tweaks needed. dithering-H.aftemplate dithering-V.aftemplate iconoclast, T V, Hannibal and 4 others 7 Quote
pruus Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 Thanks for this tutorial, also a glimp of possibilities with Affinity. Keep exploring! Quote
mrs68tm Posted December 28, 2022 Author Posted December 28, 2022 If needed, a Levels and/or a Curve adjustment can be added above Threshold. Quote
T V Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 Thanks for the .aftemplate's! Either format (-H, -V) works for any photo format due to the pattern layer's ability to adjust to any size. My favorite adjustment is Channel Mixer Offset slider...as well as, scaling the pattern layer for different size pattern. One template could have as many different pattern layers as you want, just turn them on and off...I can see a lot of new possibilities for using this output/format... Quote
mrs68tm Posted December 28, 2022 Author Posted December 28, 2022 Thx. I tried almost all adjustments. Some of them are good for some pictures, others aren't so good. It depends by the picture, what that picture shows, what you want to get from that picture. T V 1 Quote
T V Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 I do not have an Ipad, but, I am assuming that .aftemplates have an easier time being used over macros for options like proceedural textures that can take alot of processing power. Templates, however, seem to be more difficult for me to keep organized and remember how I used them. Perhaps, I just need to get an Ipad to push myself a little harder into a more organized space... 😂 mrs68tm 1 Quote
mrs68tm Posted December 29, 2022 Author Posted December 29, 2022 I don't have iPad and I don't need it. I am a Windows user. I have been using it since 1995... I guess Affinity made its app in such a way that a template done in Windows to be usable in any other OS. T V 1 Quote
T V Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Good point. I'm a windows user too. Do templates done in Windows format work for mac? I never got the hang of the user experience back in the early days of Photoshop and Illustrator...drove me right to Coreldraw...and there are a lot of things I remember from that which I miss still today.

mrs68tm Posted January 6, 2023 Author Posted January 6, 2023 Maybe a Mac user can give us the right answer if templates made in Windows will work in Mac. Quote
T V Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 I asked in forums and the response was yes. Template format is not restricted to OS. 😀 mrs68tm 1 Quote
