Making Creative Art Pieces Using Affinity Photo

Beth Milbourn provides a tutorial on Mirror Imaging which she learned about from a fellow NWP Photo Forum member (John Olson), using Affinity Photo. This provides a really new way to look at our nature and landscape images, allowing us to turn them creative art pieces.

Step 1: Open a file in Affinity Photo




Step 2: Go to filters, distort, mirror





Step 3: You will see 1 mirror image, which in itself can be a cool effect



Step 4: Slide the number of mirrors. This shows 9 mirrors.




Step 5: This shows 16 mirrors




Step 6: I changed the input to 135 degrees for a new design. You can make an amazing number of designs by changing the number of mirrors and input/ output




Step 7: Press Apply in the lower right hand corner (see the screenshot above) and you return to the main Affinity Photo screen and you are ready to export




My thanks to Beth Milbourn for sharing this technique with us - and to John Olson and Richard Strange for sharing their additional images with us.
