The Garlic Myth Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Hi, I just started using Affinity (Designer and Photo) and was wondering if it's possible to create a separate layer of an applied effect? In my case, I often use outer (drop) shadows and turn and erase parts of them. In Photoshop that was possible by creating an own layer of an effect (in this case drop shadow) so you could do whatever you want with it. I'm now searching to use that same method. Or is there another way I can erase, twist and turn parts of an outer (or inner) shadow in Affinity Designer or Photo? Thanks!! Quote
Staff Callum Posted July 4, 2019 Staff Posted July 4, 2019 Hi The Garlic Myth, Welcome to the forums There is no way to separate layer FX into their own layer I'm afraid. Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
carl123 Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 What OS are you using? Drop shadows can be separated on Windows, not so easy on a MAC Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

The Garlic Myth Posted July 4, 2019 Author Posted July 4, 2019 Hi Carl123, I'm using a MAC... Do you think there's any way I can do more with the drop shadows than the modifying options of the layer effect offer? (Deleting parts, twist/skew them?) Hope so! Thanks! Quote
carl123 Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Sorry the option to do it on Windows is not on a MAC. Someone who uses a MAC may be along later if they have found a way to do it there Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
