LinaMaria Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi there! I found this really good tutorial on YouTube where you edit a photograph to look like a painting and it's exactly what I've been looking for. It is a photoshop tutorial though. I've tried photoshop tutorials in affinity before and it worked. This one does not. Because they are different, after watching the video, can anyone tell me how to do it where it works in Affinity Photo? I really want to do this!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7-dam0-5Hk&t=475s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara72 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi, I could most of it, there is no Filter gallery but you can use 'Add noise' instead of film grain and Emboss instead of High pass. The Reduce noise option is in the Develop Persona, you will have to check the Extreme box and max out the Luminance and set contribution close to 100% .

LinaMaria Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Oh wow okay! What is the Develop Persona? Editing like this gets confusing for me. It'll take me a while just to find where the "add noise", "emboss", etc are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinaMaria Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Yeah I'm not getting it. Nothing is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara72 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi, Add Noise and Emboss are under 'Filters' on the main Photo Persona, the Develop Persona is the third icon along the top and Noise Reduction is under 'Details' : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinaMaria Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 When I go into Develop Persona and try noise reduction nothing happens. I've tried multiple things un DP and nothing is happening to my photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara72 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hi, Did you check the box for extreme in luminance? You will able to pull it up even further to something like 2000 and it will soften the skin out, you have to keep contribution up to 100 to have any effect.

LinaMaria Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yes, the box is checked. Nothing is working. There is no change to the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinaMaria Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 This is what I'm getting. Nothing like the tutorial. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara72 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hi, Your Shadow/Highlight adjustment layer is blocking you from seeing any changes, you need to clip it to the first image you created it for, just drag it down and when you see the long blue highlight let go, i actually used the Shadow/Highlight from the Filters drop down menu for speed but the adjustments tab processes are none destructive so you can just delete the adjustment not the image. I also don't think you have given the Dodge layer an Overlay blend mode, so its hiding any effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
