Komatös Posted January 16, 2024 Posted January 16, 2024 Hi @Persister and welcome to the forums. Complain to Canon that they should develop a plug-in compatible with Affinity Photo.

Is the existing plug-in one of the kinds that Affinity even supports? Unless it is a standard .8bf image plugin complaining to Canon won't do any good.

Komatös Posted January 16, 2024 Posted January 16, 2024 I strongly assume that Canon uses functions or routines (entry points) that only exist in Photoshop. That would also be nothing new. Because with the color calibration systems I know, the connection via plug-ins also only works with Photoshop. But I'm happy to be proven wrong here too. walt.farrell 1 Quote MAC mini M4 | MacOS Sequoia 15.5 | 16 GB RAM | 256 GB SSD AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9060 XT 16 GB | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.4351) Windows 11 Pro on VMWare Virtual Machine (on Mac) Affinity Suite V 2.6.3 & Beta 2.6 (latest) Interested in a free (selfhosted) PDF Solution?

Well that Canon software is, as a plugin, mainly done for the common Adobe products like LR, PS/PSE and for Canon's own DPP. So I highly doubt that there are chances to reuse it as a plugin in APh here due to it's limited (stripped down) plugin-interface compatibility. https://www.canon-europe.com/printers/inkjet/pixma/software/professional-print-layout-software/ https://www.canon-europe.com/pro/stories/soft-hard-proofing/ So you would have to use Canon PPL and things like "Canon Print Studio Pro" on it's own, or as plugins out of Canon's own DPP software, if you don't have/use Adobe LR, PS/PSE.
