Engine44 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I am new to Photo. I plan on using it to help create digital art journals, This will employ scrapbook elements (png's and jpg's) that I will arrange to form an artistic composition. There will probably be some photographic elements also. I want the composition to look as 3-dimensional as possible. I imagine that layers and proper shadowing will play a big part. What features Photo will I probably be employing to accomplish this type of appearance. I have attached a file showing an example of what I hope to be able to accomplish.

Churic Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi Engine44, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Besides the Outer Shadow you have other Layer Effects that may help you get want you are looking for. Take a look at the Bevel / Emboss and 3D effects. I'm always doing 3D effects. starting doing them in Fireworks, but I love Affinity. I agree with this; for best results use bevel and 3D in combination, just play around with settings on them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
