OldytroN Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 So I was using Photo today and I realized that there is no Filter Gallery or Artistic Filter option in the drop down menu. Am I looking in the wrong place or maybe the wrong Persona or is that something that just isn't available in Photo yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 There are no such thing available in AP (at least yet). If you see them in AP menus :-) they are loaded from Photoshop install and they do not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artfulnotes Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I am looking for a replacement to Photoshop, which I have been using for 25 years. Adobe now insists that my current version is "not genuine" despite the fact that I bought it from them about 5 years ago. In any case, I have been experimenting with Affinity, with mixed results, mainly because I cannot find the types of artistic filters I use routinely in Photoshop. I generally bring a photo into Photoshop and then play with it. Rarely do I strive for a finished work that looks like a photograph. In fact, just the opposite. I use the various oil painting, water color, and other filters until I have a piece I like. Then I print. None of these filters are in Affinity. The question is when, or whether they will be in Affinity. I style myself a digital pseudo-artist. I enter works routinely in local art walks. Sometimes I even sell a piece or two. But Picasso I ain't. Nor am I Ansel Adams. Just a rapidly aging old guy who likes to have fun with photographic images. You can view some of my works at my "artsy blog". It is at https://observedart.blogspot.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 25, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hi artfulnotes, Welcome to Affinity Forums Currently Affinity Photo doesn't have any artistic filters. We do intend to add them later in a future version. There's however a few Topaz plugins that work inside Topaz Studio (also supported as a plugin in Affinity Photo) that may interest you (it also work as an independent app) - check it out here . 2989 and Steps 1 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medical Officer Bones Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 G'MIC has a very nice selection of artistic filters. Download Krita, which has a selection of artistic filters and the complete G'MIC built-in. Open source and free. https://krita.org/en/ https://gmic.eu/ Would be nice if Affinity Photo would include G'MIC at some point. To use Krita, download from krita.org, drag/open your image/developed RAW from Photo in Krita, then open the Filter-->Start G'MIC-Qt. Look under "Artistic". Aside from these you will find a bunch more under "Filters-->Artistic". lepr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPv6 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 +1 for G'MIC integration. G'MIC set of filters really great, even superior to those in Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smadell Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If memory serves me correctly (and it frequently does not!) there was a suggestion along the way that the "Looks Persona" would be the equivalent of a Filter Gallery, or an Artistic Filter kind of mode. The Looks Persona has been listed in the Affinity Photo Roadmap for as long as I can remember, but it seems to have gotten very little "air time." Maybe what you're asking for actually IS on the docket, but hasn't arrived yet.
