benged123 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Photoshop used to have an Effects plug-in called 'Paint Daubs'. I'm wondering if anyone in the Affinity community has ever come across a way to create a similar effect in Affinity? I used to use the Paint Daubs when working with SD footage from video (pre-HD, pre-4K). Very subtle use of the effect could make a video-looking still pulled from the film look like a much higher quality image, even slightly painterly, getting rid of any sense of the video-look. I've even used it on HD, and it makes a still pulled from video look much better when going to print. All ears, Ben I still have the Paint Daubs effect in an earlier version of Photoshop (which no longer runs on my current OS). And tried to install that specific plug-in into the Affinity-folder-for-effects-plug-ins ... but it doesn't seem to translate. I heard something like this could be done. Nada, it seems, in this case.

Staff Callum Posted August 18, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hi Ben, Welcome to the Forums :) I have looked into Paint Daubs effect and it doesn't look like something that will be compatible with Affinity Photo I'm afraid. However you may be able to achieve a similar effect to this plugin by following the below thread :) https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/20115-painting-effect-smudge-tool/ I hope this helps C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
