Affinity Photo Tutorial #19-Playing With Mirrors Video Lecture | Affinity Photo Tutorials: Basics to Expert - Professional Skills

hey guys ampere bringing you another
affinity photo tutorial and in this
tutorial we'll be going over and playing
with the mirror effect so I have a bunch
of images here and I kind of wanted to
just play around and kind of mirror them
around I think the mirror effect is
pretty fun to play with so I thought I'd
make a video on it so to get the mirror
effect you go up to the filters tab come
down to distort and mirror and then the
mirror window comes up and you have a
bunch of options it's the first thing
that you have is the number of mirrors
and you can up this you have two three
four five and then you can start playing
around with the output and it will
change how your mirror the image will
look and if you hold the Alt key
it no longer snaps to a specific degree
and you can change the number of mirrors
you want to get really cool kind of
trippy sort of I want to say LSD but LSD
designed images and you can just play
around it that you can change the output
which changes its orientation and you
can go all the way up to 20 mirrors and
it just really kind of makes the whole
image look just really really trippy and
you can even change the type of view so
you can have a split view again like in
other things where you can see what the
mirrored image is and you can even see
them side-by-side so you can change them
just you can kind of get the the effect
they're going for so different things
like the three mirrors will give you
like a triangle kind of shape to mirror
kind of other sorts of shapes and just
kind of playing around I noticed
different things like odd ones versus
even ones will give you
different fun geometric shapes so you
can kind of play around with that you
get a Pentagon hexagon and stuff so it's
just a really fun effect to play around
with let's look at some other fun images
so this one was more of a horizontal
rectangle and let's try a vertical one
we're going to go back to filters
distort and mirror and we're going to
bring it up and - and another thing you
can do is kind of play around and see
hey this kind of looks like a fun logo
so you can have like all these intricate
designs and all these other fun stuff so
this is kind of like a fun effect to
play around with and make cool trippy
images with yes but it also can give you
sort of inspiration for different logos
so like if you see the diamond pattern
it's kind of an interesting logo idea so
maybe you wanted something like this
you've rotate it make it you're sort of
kind of logo and I just thought it'd be
fun to look at what it can do to human
subjects and you can kind of change get
some pretty trippy images some sort of
like I don't know monster ish things you
can get just just outright weird images
you can just kind of reflect it all over
there's a pretty trippy like lip Star I
don't know it's just kind of a fun
effect and I thought I'd make a video
about it because it kind of interested
me it's kind of just like a fun thing to
play around with infinity photo but if
you liked the video give it a thumbs up
