Big_Stan Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I have been unsuccessfully chasing this topic for several weeks. Is it possible to use Noiseware with Affinity Photo on a Mac (10.15.1)? Prior to going to Catalina, I successfully used Noiseware and Affinity Photo with Mojave , the preview colors were a little squirrelly but Noiseware worked. However, now that I have gone to Catalina, I am unable to get AP to recognize Noiseware. I downloaded the Noiseware installer and Noiseware was successfully loaded into my Applications folder (see screen shot 1). I then went to AP Preferences and, as you can see, Noiseware is in the “Plugin Search Folders” just below the Topaz plugins. I then restarted AP, expecting to see Noiseware under AP Filters. As can be seen in Screen Shot 3, the Topaz Lab plugins are there but Noiseware is not listed as a Detected Plugin. When I open "About this Mac" > "System Report" > "Software", I don't see Imagenomic listed nor is Noiseware listed. So, while Noiseware appears in my Application folder is not being shown in my System Report. As far as I can determine, Noiseware is a 64-bit app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted November 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 18, 2019 Hi Big_Stan, I managed to get Affinity to show the Noiseware Plugin by pointing Affinity to the folder the plugin is installed to and not the actual plugin (like you have). I was never able to fully start the plugin but that maybe due to me running the trial, as soon as i click OK on the trial popup, Affinity closes down. You may have better luck with a licenced version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stan Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Interesting. How did you get it to point "to the folder the plugin is installed"? Every time I try it, it goes directly to the actual plugin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stan Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Spoke too soon, I was finally able to install it using the method you described. And wonder of wonders, IT WORKED!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
