Hi, welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. I suspect, from the content of your question, that you actually own and use one of the Serif legacy range, namely PagePlus, and that is the program you are asking for help with? If so, you really need to post to the forum for those legacy products, here. This forum is for the products in the new Affinity range of products from Serif. HTH Jeff

Topaz Labs Star Effects plug in? I have used this successfully to add all sorts of star effects to a range of images. IMO, well worth the cost. Jeff

Hi. In order to be able to answer this and possibly help you we need to know many more details about your computer: manufacturer, model (number or name), what GPU, even the Operating System, RAM, CPU, type and size of hard drive, etc., etc.. You wrote in your original post that you downloaded the latest drivers for the GPU, I downloaded the beta ones. Where did you download them from? If it was not the manufacturer's site you could have downloaded an "unofficial" driver, not approved by the manufacturer. The more information you can give us the more likely we will be able to at least offer some advice. Jeff

Duplicate post of this thread.

@Kasper-V attempting to access your link to download the file produces this error page: Any idea why? Jeff

Great to hear! Happy (Affinity) Designing! Jeff

Hi, I'm coming a little late to this thread but I wonder whether either or both of the following might help: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed is an official Microsoft page which claims to be able to help resolve problems like you are experiencing. Whenever I have been confronted by a problem of this nature, especially one where a program fails to uninstall properly, I have used Revo Uninstaller (the free version is available from https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html). Personally, I use the paid-for Pro version since it adds the facility to monitor the installation of programs in order to ensure that any subsequent uninstallation runs successfully. In the Pro version (I think the free version includes this) to achieve what you need you select the Forced Uninstall option, point it to the program by name and let it search all your computer for anything related to that program. Nothing is deleted or changed until and unless you accept what the app lists as parts of the program. It is always worth carefully checking everything it suggests should be deleted, especially any registry entries. HTH Jeff

Just tested this, using Canon cr2 RAW files. No filter is available until you press "develop"; the resulting image can then have the Haze Removal Filter applied, and it works without problem. (AP1.5.2.69, release version) Jeff

But Beethoven was profoundly deaf for the greater part of his "composing" life. :D :D (Sorry, couldn't resist).

So, this does appear to be unique to Win 7 installations, I think. Certainly, no-one seems to have reported the problem with later versions of Windows. (I realise that is no comfort/help to Win 7 users!) Jeff

Is this a problem "unique" to Win 7? @_martin is that your OS? I have Win 10, and received the .NET update yesterday and AD and AP both open and run fine. Jeff

Hi. I think your forgot to attach the attachment! However, I have just followed your steps above, including scrolling through fonts, also using AP 1.5.2.69 under Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and I get no freeze. So I wonder whether the problem is caused for you by a specific font on your system? Jeff

Hi welcome to the Affinity forums. If the two plug ins you mention are designed to "automate" processes then no, they cannot be used in AP. Currently, automate plugins cannot be used. Jeff

DavidMac, What about "wrapping them up" and making them available to others?!! Jeff

Except I don't think it does, (work as a plug-in) either in Affinity Photo or PhotoPlus X8!
