CH Trippe Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Not sure if that's the right terminology---it's not exactly vignetting---but is there a way to "soften" the edges of a photo so they sort of bleed into the page? I have viewed most of the Affinity tutorials, but don't remember seeing one the showed how this might be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CH Trippe Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Watched the video---but I can't see to get it to work with my image, so I must be doing something wrong, or misunderstanding something essential. I imported my image into Affinity, then placed a rounded rectangle over it (as though I were making a border) and got that placed behind the image, and added a new fill layer---which the video didn't mention---it just showed an image on a black ground, and I need an off-white one to blend with the page color of the book I'm making---but when I tried the Gaussian Blur effect, nothing happened. What detail am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CH Trippe Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 It's especially nice for some of the black & white drawings I use in my books, which I also tone towards sepia to warm them up, by changing the white balance---the bleed effect is very appropriate. Is it possible to also add an inner or outer glow withe gaussian blur effect? I tried, but the effect seemed negligible, even with color. I can live without that, since the blur effect is sufficient---but it's fun to experiment. ( Have just discovered some fabulous things I can do with the mirror filter, to create page embellishments, etc. ! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
