How to add vignette on Affinity Designer?

[Tormy]

I would like to add a kind of Vignette in Affinity Designer.

Is there a way to get similar result with it?

Can you describe more about what you'd like to accomplish, or (better, perhaps) provide a visual example of what you'd like to accomplish?

The same kind of effect I have with Affinity Photo but in Designer (if possible).

Otherwise I have to export form Designer and import into Photo

Vignette can mean different things. What does it mean to you, for this question?

I see .. this is what I mean with "vignette"

I would just throw a rectangle on top of the image layer with a radial gradient from white to black and set the rectangle's blend mode to multiply. Note that an actual vignette is caused by light falloff from the design of the lens used to make the photograph, more pronounced with a large aperture than a small one for the given lens. Often it can be caused by, or exacerbated by the lens used to make the enlargement. It is always circular not elliptical, height to width ratio is 1:1.

There is no requirement to export here, If you wish to quickly switch your active document between the Affinity apps, you can use File > Edit In Photo... from within Designer to send your document to Photo for editing.
Here you can quickly add your Vignette and then save the document, or return to Designer using File > Edit In Designer...

Alternatively there are ways to achieve this in Designer directly, as Bruce shows above

Alternatively, make the centre of the radial gradient black with zero opacity (instead of white with full opacity) and leave the blend mode at ‘Normal’.

Even if you choose "Edit in…" but want to use a Live Vignette it may be insufficient in documents with more than one artboard (AD) or spread (APub). Live Filters have the centre of the entire document (AD) or spread, not of a selected object, group, artboard or page only.

Guys, thank yo so much to all of you. I learned something really smart like "Export to..." It was under my nose every time I clicked on "file" but never paid attention to it.

 

Bout the "Multiply": it's really a great trick as well. Unfortunately it affects also everything is further underneath the layers I'm interested to apply the vignette. However, in my case, I managed it and the result: splendid!

An alternative to the method shown by Old Bruce above, with a similar result, would be to use a Gradient Overlay Effect, with no extra layers needed – see attached image.

Thank you @GarryP Nice method this one as well.
