jak Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 On the latest update to Affinity Photo, the plugins from Nik and Topaz are greyed out and no longer working. They worked fine before the update. How do I get them back working? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnobelix Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I think that could help go toEdit Preferences Photoshop Plugins Then activateAllow "unknown" plugins to be used then your plungins should work again, Quote Affinity Photo 2.4: Affinity Photo 1.10.6: Affinity Designer 2.4: Affinity Designer 1.10.6: Affinity Publisher 2.4: Affinity Publisher 1.10.6: Windows 11 Pro (Version 23H2 Build (22631.3527) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 That did not work. The allow unknown plugins was ticked. I tried unticking it and re ticking it, but that did not work. All are listed with the word unknown in yellow. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted February 26, 2018 Staff Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi jak, I hate to ask the obvious questions but do you have an image open and a pixel layer selected? If you don't have an image open or if you have started a new document but not added a pixel layer, then the plugins will appear greyed out.

Staff MEB Posted February 26, 2018 Staff Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi jak, Welcome to Affinity Forums Also check the Colour format (most plugins only work with RGB images, not CMYK) and bit depth (8 or 16 bits). A few of them only support 8 bit. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 I figured it out. The update somehow caused me to have to readd the folders that contained the plugins to the list. I do not know why they were not recognized in the first place, as the list of plugins was there, but readding the folders caused them to work again.
