Support for Boris FX Optics (Photoshop API plugin support).

[rossshain]

Hello Affinity team, 

I am looking for some technical developer support for 3rd party plugins. 

 

Boris FX develops popular effects plugins for many video editing hosts and recently released "Optics" for Photoshop/Lightroom. We have had multiple requests from Affinity users who would like to launch Optics from Affinity Photo. 

 

Currently, we set Affinity to see Optics, but when try to launch Optics from the standard Affinity plugin menu, we get an error: 

"ChannelPorts not available". And then Affinity freezes. 

 

This request is mentioned in the Affinity forums here. 

 

The request is that Affinity update its support for Photoshop plugins to support newer API.

Hello Affinity team, 

We have not heard back and would like to work with you to resolve the issue. We hear from Affinity users that would like to run Optics plugin inside Affinity. 

Thank you,

Thank you Ross/Boris FX for trying to get this implemented! Would be great if it could be, for both Affinity Photo version 1.x and new 2.x
