Photoshop Plug-ins That Work & Some That Don't


Recommended Posts

I am using Window 7 Professional / Dell XPS 8900 quad core i7, 16 GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 4GB graphics

 

These Photoshop Plug-ins WORK for me:

 

AKVIS - Art Suite / Art Work / Sketch

 

Abstract Curves

 

Anthropics Smart Photo Editor

 

Auto FX - Auto Eye Gen 2 / Auto Magic Gen 2 / Dream Suite Ultimate Gen 2 / Mystical Gen 2 / PGE Gen 2

 

Nik Collection - Color Efex Pro 4 / Dfine 2 / HDR Efex Pro 2 / Sharpener Pro 3 (1 & 2) / Silver Efex Pro 2 / Viveza 2

 

Corel Particle Shop - it opens slow but it does work

 

Topaz Labs - all their software

 

Xycod Postwork Shop

 

 

WHAT DOES NOT WORK -

First let me say that I was very frustrated trying to locate the "Lock Transparency" in the Layers Palette - couldn't find it anywhere. After reading some MAC files I discovered it is attached to the brush tool & shows up as "Protect Alpha". Unless there actually is a "Lock Transparency" check box somewhere that I can't locate. I can do anything with a manual and I realize it will be here. In the meantime, the help file does not work on the most current release.

 

ALIEN SKIN - Exposure X / Snap Art 4 - These plug-ins DO NOT WORK - this is what happens:

 

I get the message "This filter requires editable transparency. Please turn off Lock Transparent Pixels in the Layers Palette." 

When I check okay I immediately get handed an error message: "An Unhandled Exception - etc. Code: ox800004003.

 

On restart I see a crash report message that I assume is automatically forwarded.

 

LUCIS PRO 6 - worked before the latest release but now nothing happens - no screens, no messages.

 

FILTER FORGE 5 or 6 - creates this message:

<class XFW::Argument Error>No window handle in filter record platform data.

This filter does not crash the program after I check "ok"

Let me guess, the errors you are receiving for Alien Skin Snap Art is on Affinity's end. Here is what I base that on; I had written Alien Skin and received a reply to my question:

I understand I can use your program as a stand-alone, but is there an
Affinity Photo plug-in?

Thanks

His answer was:

Hello,
Affinity doesn't do a very good job of supporting our plug-ins. Their implementation of the Adobe Photoshop plug-in SDK is incomplete. Because of this we're unable to offer support for Affinity. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

So the question becomes, are there plans for Affinity to support Alien Skin programs? If not it's doable as a stand-alone, just not as convenient. Now its been nearly 4 years since this notification by Ayzara was presented. Anyone on staff?
