Wonderful! Many thanks for your support! That's great Help!

GREAT! Thanks a lot, that works exactly as I'd like to!

Hi all, I would like to split an image over several image boxes. I.e. an image should be placed over the whole page, but only be visible in the image boxes on this page. Sure, you can place the image as often as there are image boxes and then move the individual images so that the whole image is visible again, but this is time-consuming and I would like to simplify the work. Is that possible? Thanks, cheers, Martin

The Subscription-Licensing-Model at Adobe was one of the main Reasons why I switched to Affinity. I am happy to pay a certain Amount for Updates, but I definitely don't want a Abo where the Software stops working if I quit Subscription.

Hi Carl, quick and easy - that's it. The Check-Mark was set, and I didn't have it on my Focus. Thanks for the quick help! Best Regards Martin

Thanks, Carl. I will check this today‘s Afternoon.

Good Morning! For two days I can no longer work with the Brush in Masks. Ev. I have adjusted something without noticing it, but I can no longer find where I can change it. I can work with a black Brush directly on an Image, the Area becomes black. But if I create a white Mask with e.g. a Curves-Adjustment on an Image, the black Brush has no Effect anymore. By the same Token, the white Brush has no Effect on a black Mask. Furthermore I don't see any Brush-Marks on the Mask anymore. Does anyone have an Idea what this could be due to? Thanks and best Regards Martin

Good Morning, I would like to tell you briefly about my Tests. I bought Affinity Photo directly from Serif in addition to the App-Store-Version. At 28,-€ in a special Offer, really no big Deal. After the Reinstallation, all Plugins from Topaz Labs now work directly from Affinity Photo as expected! Thanks a lot for you Input! Have a great Day! Cheers Martin

Thanks, Walt! Hope that somebody from Serif reads this.

Hi Affinity-Support-Team, I'm using Affinity (all three Tools) since Start. Allmost one year ago I bought Topaz Denoise AI and Sharpen AI. I customised all necessary Parameters as described. Unfortunately the Topaz-Plugins do not work out of Affinity Photo. BTW - NIK is working fine! So I asked the Topaz Support for help. They answered Yesterday: Did you buy Affinity from the Apple App Store or directly from Serif?If purchased from the App Store, Affinity will not be able to interact with our third party plugins and the behavior you are describing would be expected. The conflict has to do with Apple restrictions placed on the app store download.If this is indeed the case, you'll need to return the App Store purchase if able, and buy the program directly from Serif if you can. My understanding from Serif Support is that there is no way to resolve this conflict with an App Store based installation. Yes, I bought Affinity Photo from the App Store. Is there any Chance to change the Version of the Tool from "bought from AppStore" to "bought from Serif"? Or would it make Sense to buy Affinity Photo again directly and reinstall it? Would this work and solve the Problem? Thanks and best Regards Martin

Hi and thanks, I did it, and it works as I explained. Meanwhile I've got an Answer from the Topaz-Support: Did you buy Affinity from the Apple App Store or directly from Serif?If purchased from the App Store, Affinity will not be able to interact with our third party plugins and the behavior you are describing would be expected. The conflict has to do with Apple restrictions placed on the app store download.If this is indeed the case, you'll need to return the App Store purchase if able, and buy the program directly from Serif if you can. My understanding from Serif Support is that there is no way to resolve this conflict with an App Store based installation. As I bought Affinity Photo from the App Store this is a possible Root-Cause. So I will ask Serif a Solution. Thanks and best Regards Martin

Hi all, I would like to come back to the Topic "Topaz Plugins with Affinity Photo". I have a freshly set up Mac running Catalina (10.15.7). New Installation of Affinity Photo (19) and Topaz Denoise AI and Sharpen AI (newest Versions). I have installed the plugin as described here: https://help.topazlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001129351-Serif-Affinity-Photo-Using-Your-Topaz-Labs-Plug-ins So in my Environment it looks like this: After restarting Affinity Photo I see the Plugins as expected: But when I klick on a Plugin nothing happens. Now I entered a "/" in "Plugin Support Folders". Now the Plugins start, but: Denoise AI: First I get an error-message: When I then klick OK the Plugin start, but it is impossible to do anything. Other Error-Messages, like this one, appear: Sharpen AI: No Error-Message at Start of Plugin. But when I klick on "Update" the Update-Button get's greyed out, but nothing happens. No Action, nothing changes. Both Tools are running without any Problems as a stand-allone-Tool! Has anybody an Idea what is wrong? Something with my Config? Or is it a Problem with Topaz? NIK works fine, no Problems at all! Thanks a lot for your Input! Best Regards Martin

Sorry, forgot to mention: MAC OS 10.15.5 Martin

Good evening, I still have a Problem with the Combination Affinity Photo (1.8.3) and Topaz Denoize AI (2.2.2) or Topaz Sharpen AI (2.0.5). When I call the Plugins from Affinity Photo, the Image is handed over to the Plugin. But after that nothing happens anymore. No matter if I work in manual or automatic Mode, the Sliders in the Plugin are always at a Default-Value, the Plugin obviously doesn't work. When I call the Topaz Tools manually, they work fine, except when I call them from within Affinity Photo. Other plugins, such as NIK, work fine. Does anyone have an idea what this is due to? Cheers and thanks a lot! Martin

I have a similar Problem here on my Mac. I see the Plugins, I can select them, but the Plugins are not called. No Error-Message, nothing. Is there an Instruction how to enter the Path to the Plugins? p.s. ok, sorry, just recognised, that the Reason for this Behaviour is the App Store Version of Affinity-Photo. So let's stay tuned!
