I believe this video by Affinity will have what you want in it.  A good video with good techniques throughout.

Hello!

 

Thx for your quick answer. The basic idea is the same, but I"ll need concentric waves.

I want to put the waves from the palm of the girl to her face. What do you think?

Hi Madmax45,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

There's a Live Ripple Filter available in Affinity Photo.

Go to menu Layer ▸ New Live Filter Layer ▸ Ripple Filter. You can click anywhere on the image to set its center.

I'm definitely no expert.  But I just used the Ripple Live Filter, and adjusted by painting with the erase tool.  I'm sure there is probably a combination of several filters, various settings, experiment with some blend modes and blend properties, you will probably get better results.

I will have to think about a method to get concentric wavelets distorting uniformly.  Right now that is something I'm not sure how to do.  

At least it is a start for you.  Hope you find something you can use.

I should point out that you can drag the center of your Live Filter around, so I centered the filter on the hand.  Many people seem not to realize that the center point of these filters can be moved.

Okay, I didn't see MEB's post while I was making mine.  So all I can say is ditto.  And it is also in the video I referenced.
