Busenitz Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 I am wondering if there is a way to make the logo look more embossed or branded into the wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pxls2prnt Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I am wondering if there is a way to make the logo look more embossed or branded into the wood? Short answer, yes. But it may take a bit of work. I made this background for my Mac way back in 2007 using only Photoshop (http://forums.macrumors.com/attachments/apple-wood-burn-jpg.132729/). For this, I made a custom Photoshop brush in the shape of the Apple logo and used the burn tool to get the burned in look. If I were to do it over, I'd probably just place the logo and make it a dark brown color and play with the blend modes and transparency until it looked close. After I got the initial logo "burned" into the wood, I then used the burn tool around various parts to make it look more like it was actually branded into the wood. I don't recall if Designer has a burn tool in it (don't have it on my computer at work :unsure:) but Photo should. Without having Designer in front of me, it is hard to say how I would tackle this. If no one else chimes in, I can give it a go when I get home this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I wonder if the displacement map filter could be useful. It's worth a try. https://player.vimeo.com/video/136107637/ Quote - Affinity Photo 2.3.0 - Affinity Designer 2.3.0 -Affinity Publisher 2.3.0 MacBook Pro 16 GB MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodobe Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 There are many ways in the fx-settings (layer effects), it might work :) Quote Illustration & Grafik bodobe.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
