eddietheone Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 Hi I installed and bought several brushes and other plugins to affinity photo v1. Can I move them over to v2. If so how please ??? Cheers Edward Quote
walt.farrell Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 You should be able to install them in V2 just like you installed them in V1, @eddietheone. For example, find the original .afbrushes file and import it again. (Of course, for purchases from the Affinity Store, you can use the Account function within the app to automatically install them.)

jmwellborn Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 @eddietheone There should have been a prompt asking you if you wished to migrate your content from V1 when you first opened V2. If you did not migrate your brushes, assets, styles, macros, and swatches from Photo 1 to Photo 2 when you first opened it, you can close Photo 2. Then hold CTRL while opening Photo 2 again. This will make a reset menu appear. Uncheck all of the options. Then only check RESET CONTENT MIGRATION PROMPT and click CLEAR. You should then have the prompt to choose to migrate from your Photo 1. NOTE: If you had already installed any files in any of these categories from V1 to V2, you will get duplicate files. I am not sure this will work for plugins, however.

Plugins need to be manually copied or configured for V2, via Preferences.
