[[APh/ADe] Live Effect using 8bf/photoshop plugins for Affinity Designer, like fireworks]

Affinity Photo Live Filters are fairly handy for some non-destructive effects on a replaceable image layer.

I would still like to be able to use the render output from a 3rd party plugin as a non-destructive effect though. I can't really think of a way to achieve this in Affinity products. fractals, edges, lightning, brick textures etc which all apply to the Alpha layer and remain editable.

What is wsRGB and wscRGB colour profiles?

and also why do they have an asterisk? does asterisk here mean requires restart or that they are the optimal choice?

[Third Party Plug-in Support for Designer]

I think that supporting Photoshop plugins, the old .8bf style ones as non-destructive Live FX would be great. Internally it would convert the object to bitmap and apply the plugin then keep a cache of the result to show for the object. Then changing the settings of the applied filters is allowed. Same way that Fireworks handles .8bf plugins non-destructively on vector objects. I use lots of the KPT and Alienware plugins on vector shapes in Fireworks mixed with dropshadows and glows and transparent texture fills etc is really cool.

[„Unlock all“ Command]

Is it possible to unlock all objects yet? I can't find much on the net about it. I have 16 artboards and a locked object in each, toggling is not easy

[[APh/ADe] Live Effect using 8bf/photoshop plugins for Affinity Designer, like fireworks]

For some reason I thought Affinity Designer allowed Plugins but it doesn't. I would like to replace my Fireworks obsession with Affinity Designer.

The things I value most in Fireworks are

- vectors, as separate objects, can be grouped. (tick)

- objects can have effects applied and be editable as vectors (tick)

- effects can be extended using plugins, even photoshop plugins, allowing for editable vectors to display with torn paper effect and change the torn paper settings as needed. (fail, no plugins, no plugins as layer effects)

 

Affinity Photo also does not extend the layer/live effects by allowing 3rd party photoshop filters as far as I can tell either. I can't even get it to use any plugins from Photoshop 5.5, 8 or CC 2015 but that might be my own bug.
