Blending (Gradient) pictures together

[pixeltom 1]

Hi there,

 

I am new to Affinity Photo and I cannot find an answer or a video tutorial about blending images together.

 

To be more precise, I want to blend two images (side-by-side) together, one image showing an empty room pre-renovation and one image showing the completed, renovated room. I do not want a straight, hard line in the middle but rather a soft, gradient transition between the two images.

 

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Tom

Welcome to the forum pixeltom :)

 

It can be achieved by adding a Mask to one of the images and applying a Linear Gradient to the Mask. Here's a very basic video showing how to do this - ignore my poor brick work ;)

Thanks Leigh, exactly what I was looking for!
