Blur gallery in Affinity


Recommended Posts

Trying to replicate a shadow effect technique here in Photo but he uses some blurs that I'm not too sure about if there is in Photo--Iris Blue and Field Blur. Can someone tell me if there is? Also is there a cheat sheet to compare the effects in Photos (all) with their equivalent in Photoshop? If there is one, it would certainly help with newcomers from PS over to Affinity. It would help me if I have to train someone and the trainee asks me directly to help them find their equivalent, I wouldn't know either. In conclusion, if the adaptors of Affinity like myself ever need to train someone in the corporate world, let's say a young green jr. designer right out of college, I need to be able to tell where these things are in Affinity.

Hi evtonic3 :)

Under Filters>Blur there is a Field Blur option, however we don't have a direct clone of the Iris Blur in Affinity. The Depth of Field Blur is a visually similar effect to the Iris Blur, but has slightly less control, especially when it comes to specific points or regions that can be set using an Iris Blur.

AFAIK no such cheat sheet exists, after a quick search on our forums it doesn't appear that any community members have put something like this together, apologies.

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

The depth of field blur seems to be very similar to iris blur.

The only think maybe missing is the option to adjust corner curvature, everything else seems available.
