firstdefence Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I haven't found any. Plugins working are a bit hit and miss although plugin devs are starting to cater for Affinity Photo, I think generative fill is a push too far and until Affinity give programmers the ability to write Affinity oriented plugins I doubt you will see any sort of AI for quite a while.

KyKyDesign Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 I don't know why Serif is out of the race to provide a tool for graphics because there are currently no basic functions for me that even Adobe provides for free via the website like automatically delete the background. If it is to become a basic work tool for many, they should cooperate with, for example, unsplash to train machine learning on their photos.

firstdefence Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 They may have plans for AI but Affinity do not disclose their app development plans/roadmap so it's just guesswork as to what will be in the apps in the future. emmrecs01 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Dave.Kelly Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Yes. Free until end of the month AI masking and a lot more. Does a good job in masking and all masks can be refined. https://scottdavenportphoto.com/blog/mask-objects-with-the-refine-brush-on1-photo-raw-2023 RichardMH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave.Kelly Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Free and perpetual licence. This plus Affinity Photo is a great combination. If you use the stand alone version you get to use layers, crop etc On1 has a lot of instructional videos and there is stuff on Youtube.

As I mentioned in the other topic about this plugin, it works well for me, loading the sample photo in less than a second. But I am having a lot of trouble understanding how some things are supposed to work, like getting the refine brush or masking tool to do anything. It could be that I just don't (yet) understand how such things are supposed to work.

Dave.Kelly Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 This mini series has some good info https://scottdavenportphoto.com/on1-effects his website has a very good selection of on1 masking and how to do stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 12 minutes ago, Dave.Kelly said: his website has a very good selection of on1 masking and how to do stuff I have looked at that but I cannot get masking the refine tool, etc. to work like he shows in his tutorials. Basically, I can get red outlines but they just disappear whenever I try to do anything with them. Quite possibly this is because I do not know how they are supposed to work but the tutorials suggest that they are not working like they should on my Mac.

I am not sure what I'm doing wrong but I just can't get the plugin to work like in the videos. As time permits, I will try to study it more but for now I need to move on to other things. EDIT: I had one more try with it & I think I was beginning to understand how it works ... & then it crashed so I gave up for now.

R C-R Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 UPDATE: After adding a Snow and Frost Overlays preset to the ON1 Effects app, it now hangs whenever I try to open a file, making it totally unusable. I have done everything I can think of to fix that, including removing the app & everything in Application Support, & then reinstalling it, but nothing helps. I give up! 🙁 EDIT: And now, when I tried to see if I could use or remove the plugin, after hanging ("not responding") for ~3 minutes, the plugin suddenly began to work. I had after reinstalling it previously, launched the app itself waited at least 10 minutes before force quitting it so I have no idea why both the plugin & app are working again. BTW, somewhere I said the plugin & app were independent of each other but now, after setting the app to remain visible my Dock, I see that is not true -- whenever the plugin starts, it starts the app, so it is acting more like an 'edit in' handoff than a normal plugin filter. I have to say that between the ON1 Effects app stability issues & the bizarre, confusing, & exceedingly non-intuitive UI, I appreciate the Affinity UI & stability, warts & all, a lot more than I did before adding this app. loukash 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
