One caveat from yesterday. I now find that the plug-ins are available until I use an adjustment layer and then the plug-ins are greyed out !

Installed the latest beta and everything works, with the openCl thingy too. !

As I said, all the plug-ins work but only only jpgs. I suppose I shall have to wait till 1.9.1 comes out !

Tried your suggestions without success. Nothing has changed except updating Affinity. I am now using version 1.8.5 again but the apps only now work on jpg's. Before the update everything worked really well with no bugs or anything ! Did notice that even after uninstalling 1.9.0.932 and reinstalling 1.8.5, Two maros I had were still there. When I uninstalled Affinity there must be something somewhere that kept the macros. Is this ''memory'' messing up things at all ?

Updated my Affinity photo from 1.8.5 to 1.9.0.932 and now my plug-ins, Topaz and the original free google NIk effects, are all greyed out, (except HDR Efex Pro 2) when tried out on raw photo. Uninstalled 1.9.0.932 and re installed 1.8.5 and now the plug-ins are still greyed out on raw photos. But not on a Jpg ! Why oh why did I update Affinity as it was working splendidly before ? Anything I can check or do, please ? Some help ? Andy

Hi Dan C' Did as you said but no change in result. Thanks again

RGBA/8 - sRGB I hope this is the info you require. Thanks again for your attention to my problem Andy

Uninstalled Topaz completely from Affinity plug-ins. Re-installed with same result opening a JPEG, ''Error: launch plug-in failure'' Topaz stand alone tried and it works ! Any Ideas Thanks again for the help. Andy

Dan C, Here are a few screen shots as asked for. I hope this helps you help me. Thank you Andy

With an image open, I can go to Filters>Plugins>NIk Collection / Topaz Labs>Topaz Labs and then the ''Error: launch plug-in failure'' ! All the Nik Collection works no problem. Nothing is greyed out. Andy

Running Windows ! It's there in my plug-ins and ticked so unknowns are usable, just will not work !

I tried ''v_kyr'' advise and still get the same result, ''Error: launch plug-in failure'' . Would re-installing Affinity Photo make a difference ? Andy

I found that my two plug-ins, Topaz and NIK collection, had just disappeared from my plug-ins on preferences. Re-installed them and the NIK works fine but the topaz gives me a ''Error: launch plug-in failure'' message. Have re-installed Topaz several times and still get the same message. Any ideas how to solve it. Andy

Where can I find a simple list of Affinity Photo version updates ? I am working on version 1.6.5.123 and naively thought I would be updated automatically. I think I have to download a newer version myself so where can I find the latest proven to work update ? Many thanks, Andy

I down loaded the above set of free brushes from 7th Season Studios and the site tells me I have downloaded it successfully but I cannot find to install in Affinity Photo it on my computer. Has anyone else downloaded this file and where did they find it ? Thanks, Andy
