I figured it out so I wanted to update here just incase someone else has this issue... So I had read on another forum that in order for topaz to work in affinity, you had to install the software directly from the affinity website. In my case, I had installed it from the App Store. I initially didn't think that should matter but I tested it out and it actually is the case. After installing directly from the Affinity website, I added the plugin under settings, photoshop plugins, "plugin search folders". After that I was able to use topaz photo ai as a plugin with no problems. Hopefully that helps someone :)

Thanks for responding. i am able to use topaz as a plugin with apple photos so its all good there. i figured that this is a topaz issue but their support hasnt been too helpful as if yet. Im sure with their new release, they have their hands full at the moment. i will check out that link you posted to see if i can apply it to my scenario. ill post back here if it works. thank you very much

Hello, im having trouble getting affinity photo 2 and Topaz Photo Ai to integrate. Ive emailed topaz support but havent gotten much response yet so i figured i would ask here. This very well might be a topaz issue as i just got their latest software update. ive never used topaz before in affinity until trying now.. For computer i have an intel imac with 32 gigs of memory And also a MacBookPro M2 with 16 gigs and have the issue on both of them.. What i did was, go into affinity photos settings, go to photoshop plugins and click the checkbox for “allow unknown plugins to be used” When i do that, topaz doesnt show up, but from what i read on the topaz website, they should show up after i click that check box. In the affinity settings, if i chose the option “plugin search folders”, then add the topaz app into there, they show up in the “detected plugin” menu and they show up as plugins but whenever i try to use them i get the error in the screenshot. just curious if anyone has had a similar issue as this. My version of affinity photo is from the apple app store. Not sure if that is relevant but thought i would mention it. hopefully someone has experience with this issue
