firstdefence Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 You can layer gradients using Pixel Layers and then using layer blending but you cannot do what photoshop is doing because the Fill tool doesn't have a blending mode, so, any gradient you add to a single pixel layer will cover the last gradient you drew.

gdenby Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I'm a little confused. It seems to me that PS gradients are implemented and used in very different ways than in AD. Don't know enough about AP yet to comment. The rectangle gradient fill aside, which Affinity does not have, the way the gradient objects can be used are different, so the PS tutes are not entirely relevant. See attached file where I tossed a bunch of different gradients w. various blend modes into a mix w. an image file. Seems to me, any number of gradients can be nested and stacked for comparable results.

justin b Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Yes a comparative result can be done with Affinity Photo and to that end with many other photo editing programs. The one thing that has to stand out more than anything else is the ease of accomplishing any of the editing goals at hand. I did have a fancy to do a multi gradient background Fx using Affinity but when i realized this meant nesting layer after layer and playing around with the opacity as well as repositioning gradient posts I decided not to because in this feature at least the way it is done in Photoshop is far more easier and most of all time saving.

firstdefence Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Was just playing around with gradients and came up with a fairly simple way to make a rectangular gradient using the Mirror Filter. Create a Square and fill diagonally with a Colour to Transparency Gradient. Go to Filters > Distort > Mirror Set the Mirror to 2 You should end up with something that looks a bit like this InfoCentral and Polygonius 2 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
