many people were asking Affinity for AI features, now that they'll have it the complaint goes the other way around 🧐
 
 
on the other end, what happened to that weird Adobe software that was supposed to be released, Abode? oh ya still "beta" since last Updated July 22, 2023 😎 🧉

you seem to try to send a high pass filter to Nik plugin, that's not going to work, that's where your problem is, see answer above from RC-R

i think the only software i've seen having flare tool was exposure software. 

if you're a fan of lens flare you can create your own brush in AP, or check online for thousands of png lens flare, drag and drop in a new layer, move it, change color or what ever you want to do.
why would you want a baked lens flare tool that every users would have the same thing as you do?

nik 6 and AP v2 work fine no issue, if you've installed v2.1 your best move will be to re-install v2 (if you still have the installer). if you bought from sheriff I'm sure you can download it again but not so sure about App Store.
 

add a pixel layer, select inpainting brush and on middle top, change current layer to layer below.

Yep, best way to get the software, don’t get it from the app store.

Got the answer... you get 2 choices during install, replace or keep both.
 

just out of curiosity as I did not updated yet, seen many complaining with latest release issues on Windows but... how does it run on Mac High Sierra? anyone had crashes or issues?
 

What OS are you using?
No issues here on mac os.
have you restart AP to see if it happen again?
check AP setting colour profile.

-duplicate your layer
-filter / blur / average
-invert the layer
-blend mode to overlay
can’t remember where I got that but it work.

The gradient pack can be installed in AP, that’s an afpalette file, go in swatch / hamburger / import.

Loving the subtle emphasis 
 

Here’s another one, there’s so many online anyway, plus you can make LUTs from Lr.

Nope, one at a time and same way if you want to save them.

Nope, one by one while you enjoy your coffee!

There’s another thread regarding that ghost plugin, some see them and others can’t get them. Sorry I don’t have the thread link for it.

One of the top tool on left panel is the “crop” tool, once selected you’ll have option as what size and format you want it on top panel.
 

Same here, AP Staff.... would that be possible to get it snap to edges by default?

short answer is no:  http://docs.camerabits.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2967392-supported-file-formats-in-photo-mechanic-6
XNviewMP can view affinity files.

Lots of people have mentioned the Icons etc being too small for comfortable use, especially on larger screen sizes, so Serif are aware.  You may want to check out Affinity Glass when it becomes available.
 
 

Correct, you can use 3DL and Cube with Affinity Photo, on the main page of his website there’s some explanation of what type suffix are for so you may not need most of them. Once you import LUTs in Affinity they stay there if you “save” them as preset.
you can find many free online as well as paid and even specific camera look, like Fuji film emulation.
 

There’s some that work and others not, I can’t get luminar working as plugin with AP, either it crash or images look wrong. You can always save as .tiff and work on it in luminar, click save and reinsert your image on a new pixel layer and move on from there in AP.
here’s what I found on the forum regarding plugin

AP File size developed images (400MB)
This is typically because developed raw images are processed to 16-bit - it offers more precision but increases file size exponentially. Before you save your .afphoto file, you might try the following:
 
Go to Document > Colour Format > RGB (8 bit) to convert the image to 8-bit and save file space.
Go to View > Studio > Snapshots to bring up the snapshots panel. You should see an initial "Background" snapshot. Delete this as it's essentially a backup copy of your image that takes up file size space.
