Topazlabs plugins have disappeared from Affinity Photo

[AMC68]

Help!

I have been using my topaz plugins quite happily with Affinity Photo ever since I got it over a year ago. Until today when all the Topaz plugins have disappeared from the Plugin option. I seem to remember that they were detected automatically originally. Now I cannot get Photo to recognise them even though I am trying to bring them in through Edit>Preferences>Photoshop plugins.

They are still working in Photoshop CS5.

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Did you enable the "Allow unknown plugins to be used" option on the Preferences dialog?

Hi Walt

Thanks for replying. I tried it both with and without enabling that option. With “allow unknown plugins..” ticked I got lots of ones I didn’t want but no Topaz plug-ins.

It just doesn’t seem to see the Topaz plugins in the Photoshop Plugin folder. I’m sure it worked automatically originally.

Did you added the PS Plugin folder into the „Search Plugin Folder“ list? Add there the location where the Topaz plugins reside on your disk.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I have returned to the problem with a clearer head this morning. Yesterday I was trying to link the Topaz plugins from the Photoshop plugin folder as that's what I thought I was supposed to do and that failed.

I have tried this morning going directly to C:\ProgramFiles\Topazlabs and C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Topazlabs and that has worked.
