This is making look the whole Affinity software quite basic for today's standards. No a single piece of AI, including the one you get out of the box in Apple with Core ML in Affinity Photo, not morphing, no extrusion in Designer. Every time I want a feature I end up in an Affinity forum with users "please asking for this".
Affinity needs funding and get their act together or they're done. -
It's a shame that Corel Draw! and Adobe had this 30 years ago and Affinity is basically giving us the finger in this and AI. I am going to stick to other software suite. Not paying , nor recommending Affinity to anyone else. Their last nail in the coffin would be to try to lock us in any kind of subscription.

That's a way off at the moment but I certainly wouldn't discount it in the future.
I don't know about you guys. But I bought Pixelmator Pro and Photomator and I seldom use affinity at the moment. It is such a thing that if they release another paid version that does not solve this I will probably not buy it. Affinity designer and publisher are ok. But Affinity Photo feels more like Photoshop 5. It's ok but definitely does not worth invest more money in a few tools that I use from Affinity Photo because with Pixelmator I get better results and a lot quicker.

I dont mean to create an AI via an SDK, just need one to integrate the existing ones…
That's the problem. There is nothing AI there... Maybe the Selection Brush tool has some tiny bit of it... but they need to extend everything. There is nothing to offer to put on an SDK so people can start creating plugins. And taking in count the amount of time it took them to go from version 1.x to version 2.x it might be too late if they do not start now...

No, only the most primitive ones
That's the point of my comment. Does the effort necessary to create this in Affinity, justify the amount of customers that would not prefer to pay for a Photoshop subscription? That is why this needs to come from Affinity. It needs to provide some AI. On macOS it is easy, on Windows not that much.

Doesn't Affinity Photo support regular Photoshop plugins?
SDKs are limited by the capacity and the quality of the software underneath. AI via an SDK would be a lot of workfy to make it happen and thus, the plugin costly that maybe wouldn't justify the effort to create it if the potential customer realise they are better off paying an Adobe's subscription.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Before generators, things like, remove background or select subject. macOS already has this out of the box. I know Affinity wants to be a macOS and Windows platform, but here is the truth. I do some designer work and some publisher. But when it comes to affinity Photo. I use Pixelmator Pro and Affinity Photo for a very very tiny subset of features that I always get issues remembering the exact place where they are. Affinity needs IA to basic handling.

I also want more AI capabilities. Remove background and "select subject" seems so dah nowadays. I know how much we take complicated things for granted, but this is the main reason I use Pixelmator Pro more than Affinity. In less time I can edit my pictures very very very well. There are things Pixelmator cannot do and then I save it as a PSD and open it in Affinity, but for Affinity to be a good first option needs more AI functions. Apple has a lot of this in Ventura and in CoreImage. I know Affinity is a cross platform. But I dare to say macOS user base greater than Windows one and at lease it would be a start until the feature is rolled out to all platforms.

Do you have a firewall? It will be attempting to communicate with our server at this point.
Are you serious? ports 80 or 8080s or 443s don't get blocked by consumer's firewalls present in macOS or Windows. Cannot talk about the Windows Store because I would not touch it with a 10 feet pole, but Apple's AppStore APIs for restoring purchases work with the macOS firewall on. @Mark Ingram the issue is simple. YOU messed it up. This is causing us that paid for the product to show support to find out that the product does not get delivered. Please DEBUG end to end a purchase via all the stores and find out what part on your end is rejecting / not recognising the purchase. Is this attitude of "it works on my computer, you're at fault" that made me hit the panic button and request a refund. Now I really do not trust you. No offence, but it looks like all affinity v2 was created by cheap labour. Please prove me wrong because I enjoy v1 and I want to see a v3 in the future with all our feedback. I am still waiting for my email to support, knowing you have a high volume of issues, and willing to buy v2 again once all this glitch gets resolved. Also, an admission of guilt and an explanation of what is going on and the progress on it would make us to feel better.

I bought a Universal license through the Affinity store, and still can't activate the app. I'm currently waiting for an email reply from Affinity since last November 7th.
Come on guys!!! We WANT TO SUPPORT YOU. We want you to make the product better. Take our "complaints" as feedback. Most of us are returning customers and you cannot deliver the licenses that we bought? This needs to be resolved ASAP or you will not be trusted to make a v3 of the product.

Same here. I purchased this via the AppStore. It doesn't work. and that thing of buying it again and cancelling the confirmation didn't work. The Restore purchase doesn't work. I think Affinity simply messed it up with the In-App Purchases via the App Store.
I requested a refund and I will try to buy it again from their site if the bundle is still available. If not. Pirate bay already has it. I quite disappointed. I cannot "remove the background" or any other AI tasks that the macOS Ventura allows us to do for free. Now I found the team cannot even deal with In-App Purchases.
As I said once I get refunded I will give it a try trying to buy directly from the store if the bundle still has the 40% discount.
Add extrusion into Affinity Designer

Well. I am not buying the next version of Designer or Photo until somebody in YouTube show these features. I spend way more in Pixelmator Pro than affinity Photo and I am starting to look for alternatives to Designer that is not Illustrator. They will not get more support that is for sure. And the less they produce updates the less credible they will become. So yes. They are at risk. Not because of me, but when your forums are fill up of "please add this" and the replies are no can do ... does not look good.
