Mirror effect and how to recreate

[Khyber]

Hello everyone I had a question and wanted to know if anyone has a solution to this possibly. I’ve seen a lot graphic designs using effects such as this and wanted to know if anyone has any idea how to recreate it in affinity, mainly the mirroring of the image is what I’m looking to recreate. Any help would be super appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

this is easy, but depends on the background of the car.

1. simply create a new document.
2. then place the image of the car into it
3. duplicate the car image
4. use move tool, and rotate by 180 degree
5. move into position above the unrotated image
6. depending on the kind of sky or background, use inpainting or other tools to create a smooth transition

Using the above steps outlined by NotMyFault, I've created an example document using a Stock image. This document has 'History' saved, allowing you to Undo through the steps I've made in the file to better understand how to create this file yourself.

Hey thank you so much for the reply I was able to successfully recreate it and expand on it, the eraser tool worked a little bit better than the inbrush tool but none the less worked flawlessly. Here’s the finished product that I was able to complete thanks to your help. Thank you again for the reply really helped me big time

@Dan C thank you for presenting the file for me to see the history I really appreciate it. For whatever reason masking never crossed my mind mainly because of the base image has a lot more going on so the mask keep adding addition images. Thank you so much for the file I’ll have to keep this around to learn from it so i can keep making more

Another way, using the new (in V2) Move / Duplicate function
