v_kyr Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 An envelope photo template for APh, which can be reused for presentation purposes and the like ... I leaved one of my model shots inside that template as an example, so you can see where (which layer) to exchange it with your own placed photos then. Note that if images are rotated slightly when placed it might look better (as shown above). Further you can delete any on the envelope protruding parts from a photo with the eraser tool (or mask them out) so it fit's the envelope. You can also hide or exchange the background and reflection layers to your individual needs. Here is the corresponding Affinity Photo envelope template file: envelope.afphoto Have fun!

v_kyr Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Here are two impossible frames (a tetragon and a pentagon) for mounting photos inside, templates have been created in ADe but can also be reused in APh. You can clip your own image below the indicated image clip area (just exchanging the leaved inside clipped one). Further you can change the default used linear gradient colors for the tetragon/pentagon borders to your personal likes with the gradient tool, for easiness you best select and change the gradient of whole group at once, instead of changing the single 4 or 5 frame parts. Finally you can and should also change the background color, so it color contrast matches with your image and pronounces the frames. The template files: tetragon.afdesign pentagon.afdesign Credit: Credit for these sort of frame ideas belongs to "PANOSFX", where I've seen such things first times for photo frames.

v_kyr Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Reminder, get ready and don't forget, February 14th is approaching fast! - Here are two simple APh image templates for Valentine's day ... love_template.afphoto valentine_white_bg_template.afphoto You can clip your images under the indicated image area in those templates. Or look into them to do your own customized image format templates etc. You can also reuse other decoration stuff etc. from those styles here if needed. jmwellborn 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 Here's another way of creating some Contact Sheets out of RAW & JPG files which do reside in some folder/directory, via the help of a plain bash shell script which in turn uses Dcraw and ImageMagick to generate the contact sheets. On MacOS systems both auxialliary programs can be installed via Homebrew. An autogenerated contact sheet via that script under MacOS will look for example like this with default script settings ... ... and can then be reused in all the Affinity apps. The script with added execution rights (via: "chmod +x contact-sheets.sh") would be called under MacOS inside a terminal the common CLI way like this ... > contact-sheets.sh img-directory... ... in it's current state it is setup to deal with Nikon NEF & Canon CR2 and JPG files from which it will create then a 7x6 contact sheet jpg-image. What the contact-sheets.sh script does internally is ... It first looks if a default setup destination folder (DEST=/Users/$USER/Pictures/contact-sheets) exists, otherwise it will create that folder. The script will place all contact sheets it generates into this folder/directory. Next it fetches the as arguments given/passed over image directories and looks inside those directories for any *.JPG, *.NEF, *.CR2 files. - For NEF and CR2 files it passes those over through a dcraw call, in order to build jpg thumbs out of the files, which it will move to the system "/tmp" directory and holding all thumbs in a "FILES" variable. JPG files (not RAWs) will be instead hold directly in the "FILES" variable. Afterwards it calls the by ImageMagick supplied "montage" tool with some adjustment parameters ... - on contact sheet images size 500x500 ... - make 6 rows ... - font to use (default set to Verdana) ... - text font size set to 32 pt for the contact image labels ... - use setup background & fill colors ... ... and passes also over "FILES" variable to that in order to build the final jpg contact sheet image. Finally it makes a clean up and removes the by RAW processing created temporary jpg thumb files in "/tmp". NOTE1: the kind of usable/supported camera RAW file handling depends here highly on what the used Dcraw verion supports so far! NOTE2: this script is currently a Unix/MacOS based bash shell script, for Windows one would have to convert it accordingly to a batch or powershell script. The needed help tools Dcraw and ImageMagick are also available for Windows (make a Google net search after those). Here's the above described bash shell script for creating the contact sheets: contact-sheets.sh Have fun!

v_kyr Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 For those who need to bulk/batch generate auto-rectangular padded border images, where the source image folder and the padding color to use are user choosable and other image aspects (like image orientations portrait/landscape and widths/heights) are auto detected & handled ... ... the following Python script (which uses and imports the third party Python PIL and clipboard modules) might be handy ...
