How do I get this effect in affinity?


Recommended Posts

Which Affinity app are you using? What effect(s) specifically do you find hard to duplicate?

Dunno. Haven't used AP for at least 7 years, and not much then.

I find it quite amazing that you were using Affinity Photo years before it was developed! :o

This is what I am looking for. Of course I forgot to mention that I have Aphoto.

Maybe you can indicate how this is made, not only for myself but also for other users.

In any case, thank you very much for this fine solution. Also to the other people, thank you for the response.

Sorry, stupid of me, I forgot to mention that I use Aphoto. The effect that I want is something like in the picture.

Thanks in advance

Hi @dE.niz

Here some tutorial :):

1. You create a document and you add a black background (mine is a black rectangle)

2. Select a soft brush and add coloured points on the new pixel layer

4. Use the Warp tool: 
you can move the existing nodes, move their handles to add curves,
add new nodes by doble-clicking inside and move them too…

5. Apply the modifications

6. Move and play with your result

You can continue, adding a new pixel layer and coloured points…

You can also merge some layers, dupplicate it and use some distortion filters. (The image below is done duplicating 2-3 times  the 2nds warped coloured points, and playing with different filter on each one of them).

And the chef-d’œuvre:

Something a little different using the paint spots and mesh warp.
