Well as I dumped Photoshop to go to AP then I would say AP is OK, is it better than P/S? No, nowhere near but once bought it's yours, like most editing programs it does a job and for someone like myself who does not need all the bells and whistels in P/S just to edit images it does again the job.

Also I contacted Qimage developer and gave him a contact for AP, he contacted Serif also and was last seen hanging by his finger nails waiting for a reply.

Well I have to say the plugins for AP shown on http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/photo/plugins-support/win/ part of the site are the same ones near as can tell that have been there since the dawn of man, there seems to be no interest from the software developers Serif to push it forward, also I cannot remember the the last update of AP for Windows and yet On1 RAW have launched new software, Skylum also new software in there HDR offering and in December they are supposed to be updateing there image editor Luminar FREE of charge but AP/Serif nothing at all unless I have missed it. Thanks, Russ.

As the first request for this option was posted way back on June 16th 2016 and after more than two years later we have nothing even though it was pointed out in previous posts that AP was available FREE with the X-Rite Colorchecker some time ago, I do not think you will get the request or even maybe a reply of something like 'Our programers are working on it'!!! It is one of the main reasons I and many more have had to keep Lightroom even though many software companies are proclaiming that there software will rival Adobe software. Afraid no where near Adobe at this time. Russ.

AiDon, This was requested way back in June 2016 and now more than two years later we are still waiting even after the answer to the original post was " You may want to add this to the Features Request section. " Affinity also teamed up with X-Rite some time ago to offer the Affinity Photo free with an X-Rite Colorchecker but still we wait and wait and wait. Same thing on the Plug-in side of things, that page has been the same for must be well over a year if not more http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/photo/plugins-support/win/ Company are not interested or not listening to there customers.

Thankyou very much. Russ

OK, seems I can export to Topaz studio and work on an image but anyone no how do I get the image to re-open in AP with the Topaz adjustments in place? Thankyou. Russ.

Hi, I note that Topaz Re-Mask will not work as a plugin from AP, I use this plugin a lot and also have the Topaz Studio where I can open an image in Re-Mask 5 . Is there any way to add an option to export to Topaz Studio as a plugin option as you can to Adjust, Texture Effects etc. Thankyou, Russ.

Hi, Well as the last post here was back in June with NO reply from Seriff/Affinity (March I beleive was the input from them) I think we are flogging a dead horse, same as Skylum, not listening to there customers!!!! Russ.

Hi, Can I suggest looking at the Topaz plugins options http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/photo/plugins-support/win/ Also Topaz Studio https://topazlabs.com/ Maybe something there to help you. Russ.

Seconds up for this option. I do have SNS-HDR a software compiled by one person I beleive at home that can batch process HDR images yet large software developers seem unable to do what is for people who use a lot of HDR in there every day photography a great option, Affinity Photo are not the only ones who left this out, On1 Raw 2018 also does not have the option either. Russ.

Hi, I reached out to MEB a moderator on here. Concerning Qimage as it is IMO the best option out there for printing, used it even though I had CS6 and L/R 6 and stand alone, don't no if there has been any contact between MEB and Mike at Qimage but I advised them both of email and contact info.

Yes understand that but the reply from Mike at Qimage is not a good advert for AP ' we've reached out to Affinity Photo about the possibility of working with them to make a plugin for Qimage. We have not gotten a response. '

For some time now we the users of Affinity Photo have been requesting the ability to use more third party plugins and it seems that it is not at the top of the list of request. I use and have done so for some time Qimage Ultimate a plug-in for P/S and L/R so as I have or am trying to get away from Photoshop CS6 I contacted the Admin and compiler of Qimage and asked as follws. ' I have now placed P/S CS6 into retirment but still use L/R 6 but also gone over to Affinity Photo (Windows) and just wondered if there are any plans to make QI available for other software like Affinity Photo? There are thousands of users of Affinity Photo out there that have done the same and it would be a new market for QI. Thankyou, Russ. ' The reply I received from Mike who created Qimage is as follows. ' This question has come up (and been answered) several times before but I know it's not always easy to get search results on forums so the answer is: we've reached out to Affinity Photo about the possibility of working with them to make a plugin for Qimage. We have not gotten a response. Regards, Mike ' So the question has to be are Serif interested in the users of there product or like one or two other softwares out there only interested in the money? Thankyou, Russ.

Do they sell cameras with the shutter button also on the Left Hand Side?
