MCFC_4Heatons Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'd like 3rd party plugins in studio link instead of having to use edit in Photo. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 How would that work? Publisher doesn’t support Photoshop plugins, so I don’t see how it could be expected to make them available via its StudioLink feature.

Doesn’t the Photo Persona of Affinity Photo only support plugins because they plug in to the app containing that persona? If it can be argued that Publisher ‘contains’ the personas which are available via StudioLink, it seems logical to me that Publisher itself would need to provide support for plugins.

Well, none of the other Personas deal with Filters, so one could equally say it's the Photo Persona that has the plug-in capability, in my opinion. And the menu items are owned/controlled by the Personas.

Dazmondo77 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Why does publishers photo persona show plugins at the bottom of the filters menu, is this just a placeholder for when this feature is available?

Any Plug ins you install will / should show up there. Affinity Photo does not ship with any Plug Ins.

I have google Nik collection which works in Photo and shows up via filters/plugins, but nothing shows in Pub photo persona, and as walt says Publisher's Settings don't let you configure a Plugins directory, so what's the point of having plugins in photo persona when you can't set them up and pub doesn't use photos plugins settings?

Must be a mac UI issue, although, plugins is also in the filters menu of Pub V1 - real shame if it is a UI mistake as I use Pub (studiolink) for 95% of my stuff and just use Photo to develop Raws and very very rarely have a need to open Designer, so would be really handy - fingers crossed plugins may be available in the future?
