GVSIMAGES Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 After decades of using Adobe Photoshop as a graphic designer, now that I'm retired I found I could no longer afford one of my favorite programs. But just recently I stumbled onto Affinity Photo, trialed it, liked it ... and bought it. Now I'm trying to track down plugins that will work with it that are similar to Eye Candy. Can anyone recommend sources for these kind of plugins that actually work for Photo without any glitches? Thanks for your time. Quote

Not sure if it gives a good representation of current state of plugins. firstdefence 1 Quote Affinity Photo - Affinity Designer - Affinity Publisher | macOS Sequoia (15.4) on 16GB MBP14 2021 with 2.6.x versions

Mentioning that the site has not been updated in a long time is real information. That much is evident from the AP version numbers in the descriptions -- I don't think any of them mention any AP version newer that 1.5.x. jmwellborn 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.6 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7
Frances Proctor Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 I just tried the Eye Candy 7 trial with the latest released version of Photo and it works! I have also been sucessful with filter forge for textures and effects, Jixipix seems to work well too for artistic effects https://jixipix.com/index.html https://www.filterforge.com/ Quote Follow me on Creative Fabrica

If you think about it - then the vast majority of information available in libraries, on the Internet, even here on the forum is completely outdated. So they should somehow be liquidated, burned - so that they are not so harmful? Or should they serve as a starting point for obtaining more and perhaps more up-to-date information? I assume that the OP will handle it, and we will not decide for him 🙂 PaulEC 1 Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.5.7.2948 (Retail) Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 24H2, Build 26100.2605.

Islafurst Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Has anyone managed to get Flexify 2 to work with AP? It installed no problem, but when I try to use it I get the messages"“Flexify 2.plugin” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified"., and "macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware." I used this for a long time with Photoshop on Windows then changed to a Mac and AP and now can't use it. Any suggestions? Quote
