Thank You! I just bought Image Vectorizer and it works well. I needed to trace a bitmap image for a project and was forced to use AI on my oldest computer. Not fun. I came here to find out if Affinity Designer was going to be able to do that, Image Vectorizer is just what I needed.

OH, my, I didn't see that setting!! Yes that fixed my problem. I was looking everywhere, I don't know why that didn't register.... Thank you so much. Love both Designer and Photo, I recommend them to everyone. Thank you again!!!

I don't know how long it has been missing, I was searching for it to work with the Gradient tool, but no matter what I do I can't get it to appear on my Mac Pro 5,1 running El Capitan. I tried following the instructions in this thread - The toolbar is available in Affinity Photo running on the same computer and the toolbar is working on my Mac Pro laptop running Sierra. Do I need to reinstall the program or do I need to (finally) upgrade to Sierra?

Okay, I figured it out. Both of those plugins will only work with a certain file type, if I open png or jpeg the plugins will work, on photoshop files the plugins are greyed out.

I am having an issue that I just noticed today, I was trying to install the Nik collection of plugins, I had previously installed plugins from AutoFx and had no problem, but now the Authorize Global button will not work, it remains inactive no matter what try, and now neither the Nik plugins or the AutoFx plugs are working. I have followed the instructions a couple of times so I don't know what I am doing wrong, any advice would be appreciated.
