Artem F Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Is there way to making background blur in Affinity Designer? Do you plan add this feature such as Fx for layers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 28, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi fedorov, Currently you can only fake it using a blurred cop of the original image/background in Designer. There's no dynamic background blur feature/FX. You can however do it dynamically in Photo using the Blur live filter coupled with a mask.

Staff MEB Posted September 29, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hi fedorov, This was already requested quite a few times in the forum, but i don't have enough info to give you a definitive answer at this point. I'm adding this to the Common Features Request list and moving this thread to the Features Request section where it can be more easily spotted.

JokeRat Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Sorry if this is a somewhat stupid question, but what does that effect do? Can't you just select the background/elements and add a 'gaussian blur' effect to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 29, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hi JokeRat, Basically it simulates the blurred transparency effect you see in macOS Sierra (and older versions). The idea is to select a vector object let's say a rectangle, apply the background blur FX to it and it blurs everything behind it dynamically.
