Affinity and Plugins

[Russ2]

For some time now we the users of Affinity Photo have been requesting the ability to use more third party plugins and it seems that it is not at the top of the list of request.

I use and have done so for some time Qimage Ultimate a plug-in for P/S and L/R so as I have or am trying to get away from Photoshop CS6 I contacted the Admin and compiler of Qimage and asked as follws.

' I have now placed P/S CS6 into retirment but still use L/R 6 but also gone over to Affinity Photo (Windows) and just wondered if there are any plans to make QI available for other software like Affinity Photo? There are thousands of users of Affinity Photo out there that have done the same and it would be a new market for QI. Thankyou, Russ. '

The reply I received from Mike who created Qimage is as follows.

' This question has come up (and been answered) several times before but I know it's not always easy to get search results on forums so the answer is: we've reached out to Affinity Photo about the possibility of working with them to make a plugin for Qimage.  We have not gotten a response.

Regards,
Mike '

 

So the question has to be are Serif interested in the users of there product or like one or two other softwares out there only interested in the money?

Thankyou,

Russ.

Hi Russ,
Not all plugins will work because Affinity Photo doesn't support all features/functionality provided by Photoshop/Photoshop SDK. Currently Affinity Photo only supports basic image filters (.8bf). Anything relying on automation (or other types of plugins) are not supported. I have not tested Qimage Ultimate personally but i will take a look at it. If there's a chance to make it work in Affinity i'm sure the developers will consider to take a look.

Yes understand that but the reply from Mike at Qimage is not a good advert for AP ' we've reached out to Affinity Photo about the possibility of working with them to make a plugin for Qimage.  We have not gotten a response. '

Hi Russ,
I don't know to which address they have sent the e-mail nor what may have happened. I have checked their webpage and this plugin does seem to require automation.
