I can't find add-ons in Photo

[jefferis]

So, I have Uplift add-on in Photo which were downloaded manually  and i am trying to find them in the interface but cannot.  There are other items listed in the assets panel, but even if I try to reimport them from the download they are greyed out like they have already been installed. 

 

I'm in Affinity Photo 1.10

Hi jefferis!

I don't know this add-on, but if it is a macro, you will find it in the Library panel, I think, not in the Assets.

Uplift is a Macro, so you should find it in the Library Studio. The sky images should be where you downloaded them to on your system.

I found the macro in the library and I see the skies in the downloads folder, but am not sure how to apply them. There seems to be no dialog box to choose them.

The skies are image files. You can simply drag & drop one of them onto your open document. You could also put them into the Assets panel and drag them from there. But you should be aware that too many Assets will slow Photo down. I prefer to drag such things from the file manager to the document. I only store small things I use very often in the Assets panel.

Here is a video about it.

The download from your Affinity Store account is a .zip file. It contains a directory with the macro and the image files.

It also contains a Quick Start Guide as a PDF, which explains how to use the pack.
