    Shiljo reacted to Mike Hardisty in Plugins That Work With Affinity Photo   
    These are the plugins that I have found to work so far with Affinity Photo. The image must be in 8 bit mode

    ​From the Google NIK Collection

    ​Analog Efex
    Color Efex
    ​Dfine 2
    Sharpener Pro
    ​Silver Efex
    HDR Efex

    ​Viveza crashes Affinity Photo as soon as you add a Control Point.

    ​From the Topaz Collection

    ​DeNoise
    Glow
    ​Impression
    Texture Effects

    ​ReMask gives a message about unlocking transparency first so I need to investigate that more.

    ​Other Topaz products I haven't added a plugins yet but I'll report back once I have done so

    ​Please feel free to add any plugins you get working to this list.

    Shiljo reacted to imagegod in Installing Nik Collection In Affinity   
    Cool...thanks! Works like a charm. 
     
    For any Windows newbie: Install Nik without selecting a compatible host (unless you have Photoshop...it will install there if selected.)
     
    For Affinity Installation:
     
    Select: Preferences...Add...Navigate...Program Files...Google...Nik Collection...Install...restart. Et Voila! Enjoy!

    Shiljo reacted to stephentuso in Material design asset pack   
    Here is a collection of assets created from the material design sticker sheet obtained here: https://material.google.com/resources/sticker-sheets-icons.html
     
    Could use a little more work, but I've added constraints to the lists, UI bars, and tabs. Most of the shadows are currently bitmaps. I had issues with some text boxes becoming the wrong size when the group was turned into an asset, so artistic text is used in some places where a text frame would be more appropriate.
     
    I couldn't find a license anywhere for the sticker sheet, so feel free to modify and share or use however you want, however, please don't redistribute as an asset pack while charging a price (sharing for free is fine). 
     
    If you want to share any changes/improvements, I'd appreciate it if you posted them to this thread.
     
    An example I quickly made with some of the assets is below.
