bill hansen Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I'm a long time Photo Shop user has begun using Affinity and who hopes to replace most or all processing in Affinity. I'm very happy with Affinity but I'd like very much to add the Topaz DeNoise 6 plug in. Is this possible - and if so, how it it done? Is there a tutorial or video somewhere? Thanks - Bill Hansen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted October 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hi Bill, Welcome to the forums. See this other thread for more information on installing plugins into Affinity Photo, see this link for a list of compatible plugins.

bill hansen Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) I see that Topaz Denoise 6 is listed as being compatible with AP, but the link to the thread you mentioned is apparently broken. I get the message "you do not have permission to view this page". Maybe it's another forum or web site to which I do not belong?

Error code is 2F173/H Hi Bill, Attached is a screenshot of the Photoshop Plugins in the Preferences, note that this is only Windows, just add the 2 upper level directories for the Topaz Programs and the plugins will be picked out. Note that you must select "Allow Unknown Plugins to be used". It is also advised that you "rasterize" the layer before you pass it to a Topaz Plugin as there seems to be an issue with Portrait orientation (EXIF) (NOTE: This is if you have all plugins, just choose the upper level directory for your implementation) Quote Both PC’s Win 11 x64 System with Intuos Pen & Touch PC1 ASUS ROG Strix - AMD Ryzen 9 6900X CPU @ 3.3GHz. 32GB RAM- GPU 1: AMD Radeon integrated.

bill hansen Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Thanks AiDon - I' m making progress thanks to your help. I've got Topaz Studio available in AP Preferences. I didn't realize that the free, online version of Studio only includes the very old Topaz "Reduce Noise", and does not include any version of Denoise. I don't need and don't want the whole Studio. The older Reduce Noise was never very good, and it's still not very good. I'm going to see if I can get my copy of Denoise6 into AP - not supposed to work, but I'll try.

bill hansen Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 AiDon - I got DeNoise 6 itself, outside of Topaz Studio, into the Filters of AP. Feels like a victory - Thanks for your help! AiDon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bill, The Reduce Noise Adjustment is not DeNoise, the DeNoise plugin is still a valid product but Topaz has also made a statement that all plugins will eventually be updated to Studio as it is easier to update a single platform and deliver updates as Adjustments ... but they still honor their free upgrade process so when, and if, DeNoise is updated as a Adjustment you will also receive a copy. Note that DeNoise is also available from Studio. Quote Both PC’s Win 11 x64 System with Intuos Pen & Touch PC1 ASUS ROG Strix - AMD Ryzen 9 6900X CPU @ 3.3GHz. 32GB RAM- GPU 1: AMD Radeon integrated.
