John Rostron Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I have had an older version of Astra Image for some time. I recall that it used to work as a plugin as well as a standalone. This was probably with AP 1.6. I tried the new version (5.5.7) today with AP 1.8 on a scanned microscope slide. Although the standalone worked well, the plugin did not. With any image I get the error message that: The plugin will not work with an image with transparency, and The plugin needs a Pixel layer, and not an Image layer. Neither of these were applicable to my image. John Quote Windows 10, Affinity Photo 1.10.5 Designer 1.10.5 and Publisher 1.10.5 (mainly Photo), now ex-Adobe CC CPU: AMD A6-3670.

Staff Gabe Posted March 26, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi @John Rostron, I've just tried this in 1.6 and I get the same error message. It might have worked with different plugin-in version though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 I have contacted Astra Image telling them of this problem on March 14th. I pointed out that there are an increasing number of astrophotographers using Affinity and I suggested that they contact Serif . So far, I have had no response.
