Paint on wood effect for Affinity Photo

[CraigK]

I'm looking for a way to get a painted on wood effect that retains the texture of the wood so it looks realistic. Is there a way to do that in Affinity Photo? There are a couple ways to do it in Photoshop, including using displacement maps, but I haven't found any tuts using Affinity Photo for this effect. Thanks.

Use the Displacement Filter in Affinity Photo. Either the Live Filter or the destructive filter Filters > Distort > Displace

Thank you. I didn't see that filter. I'll give it a try.
