Make sure that you tick seamless tiling on. With the pattern layer selected go to the filters menu and choose Plugins > Filter Forge > your Filter Forge version (in my case Filter Forge 9)Ĥ.Filter forge will launch and you can choose your texture filter and set the settings as you like. Affinity Photo will create a new pattern layer, you will see it in the layers panel.ģ. From the layer menu sel ect New Pattern Layer and set the dimensions to the same as your document. In Affinity Photo create a new square document ( filter forge likes squares ) I often use 600px by 600 pxĢ. you can turn Filter forge textures into pattern layers and save them as assets and use them over and overġ. In the latest version there is a new feature called Pattern layers. I have Affinity photo and I use it with Filter Forge as a plugin. This works for me - hope that helps - I do not know if my transparency option would work cleanly in Photoshop - I think it might. This method may be useful if you have an item that is already coloured? Not sure - still testing.ī) turn on the transparency option of the filter and let FF clip the effect to the provided item - changing the scaling in FF. This means I can use the effect in both ways.Ī) create a pixel layer, run the filter and drag the result into the item - resizing it if required to change the scaling of the pattern. I modified my Workshop5 filter to have a 'use transparency' option (not released yet as I am still testing) This crops the effect to the outline of the item (text in my case) - but can leave some rubbish that just needs to be erased (because of not being integer shape )įor a filter like Chocolate Factory, which depends on 'depth', I use a black object with lighter details to give texture.Ĥ. I took a copy of the FF Chocolate Factory filter and modified it to take the alpha channel from the image and blend it into the Result. You can rasterize again to reduce the size of the file.ģ. You can change the blend method, opacity etc at that point.

If you make two copies of the item, you can give the copy to FF and drag the result inside the original (Paste Inside as other software would call it) Many filters (most?) in FF just return a rectangle to *replace* the item you give it. The item that you give to FF has to be rasterised - you cannot keep it 'editable' although its layer effects like embossing can be kept.Ģ.
I created two filters that would be useful to me and found that the interface to Affinity has some issues.ġ. I bought Filter Forge a couple of weeks ago to try what effects can be achieved. I am retired now and cannot keep paying the Adobe prices!
( I use A-Photo for panorama creation from multiple photos as well as simple layering/painting of items in posters/cards etc) It misses some things that are in its 'future' list but is quite powerful. but I do find Affinity Photo very good at the price. Mostly Designer/Publisher for newsletters, posters.
