It did not fix the problem on my system. Nik 6.1 plugins still do not run correctly in Affinity Beta. (Installation of Nik 6.1 installed in Affinity Photo 2.1.1 and runs correctly in AfP).

Unable to save Nik Collection 6 plugin in Affinity Photo Beta 2.2.0 (1881). The Apply button in Nik is missing. The Nik plugins run correctly in Affinity Photo 2.1.

Dazmondo77, thanks for your response. This is one of the setups I have tried with Ventura, but no luck.

No. I'm running Ventura 13.4.1 on my Mac with Filter Forge 12.0. I have tried several configurations, but FF does not even appear as a a plugin-option in Affinity Photo 2.1.1

Following up my problems with Affinity Photo 2.1. AfP works correctly as long as no external plugins are used. However, if a plugin is applied, export to JPG works fine, but AfP crashes when it is closed following the export. Workflows tested: PhotoMechanic Plus -> Affinity Photo -> Export to JPG, then close AfP PhotoMechanic Plus -> Affinity Photo -> External plugin -> Export to JPG, then close AfP Affinity Photo -> Export to JPG, then close AfP Affinity Photo -> External plugin -> Export to JPG, then close AfP Tested with ORF raw files and DNG files from DxO PureRAW. Plugins used for test: DxO FilmPack 6 Elite, ON1 Effects 2023, Topaz Studio 2 and Exposure X7.

Not sure what you mean by a legacy installer. I installed an update via a prompt from the macOS System Settings. Have updated again to Ventura 13.4. Now testing with Affinity Photo and AfP appears to no longer crash. Fingers crossed!

1. Open a JPG image 2. Perform an edit of some kind 3. Save or export 4. Correct image is saved or exported, but Affinity Photo 2 1769 then crashes Beta Crash Log.rtf

This release of Affinity Photo 2 Beta crashes every time after exporting an image as a JPG then attempt to close AfP without saving. macOS Ventura 12.3.

Thank you. Changing the RAW engine solved my problem.

The options for saving a non-destructive file (dropdown) are unavailable in the Mac desktop version of Affinity Photo 2. AFP 2.0.3 Ventura 13.1 on a 2017 iMac

I used to believe this, too. However, the latest release of ON1 Photo RAW 2022.5 now runs Luminar Neo as a plugin. So, it apparently can be done with a code tweak on the editor's side.

It is not limited to Mac M1. It's a problem on previous Mac versions, too.

I am running macOS 12.4 on an iMac 2017. The inability of Affinity Photo (now 1.10.5 from the Serif store) to run the various iterations of Luminar on my mac desktop has long been a frustration. The latest update of ON1 Photo RAW -- 2022.5 -- now runs Luminar Neo as a plugin. So, I suspect Affinity could do a tweak to make it happen in APh, too.

The German photo editor PhotoLine runs Topaz Gigapixel but as a external editor, not a plugin. I no longer have Photoshop, but I'll bet it's doing the same.

The version of 1.10.0 I was using came from the Apple store if that information helps.
