timlt Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I saw on the AP supported plugins page that the Filter Forge plugin v6 was fully supported in AP 1.5. On the FF site, they say their new FF v8 version fully supports AP 1.5. However, I have the latest version of AF 1.6.5 for Win 10 x64, and I cannot get FF v8 plugin working. It does install correctly, shows up in the plugins menu, launches as a plugin (or alternately, as a standalone app), and will then render a preview of your image and their various effects. However, the picture with effects applied is not successfully round-tripped back to AP 1.6 and rendered there. I tried: multiple photo images, multiple file types, multiple color bit depths, didn't matter. The result was always that the plugin and AP 1.6 hang, and both have to manually killed from Windows Task Manager. Has anyone gotten FF v8, or any recent version for that matter, working in AP 1.6? Update: I submitted an issue to FF as well. Gabe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I use copy/paste. Copy the image from AP Paste into FF Apply filter Copy/paste back into Affinity Photo Although it's nice when a filter creator adds a source option.

John Rostron Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I just tried Filter Forge 7 Pro with Affinity Photo 1.6.5.123 and it worked fine. I used a filter with an obvious effect (a distortion) to make sure the returned image was as intended.

timlt Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 That's good to hear, so at least it works with the most recent version - 1. I'll be interested to hear if FF replies to my query about v8. Not sure if it's their issue, or mine, but these were clean installs and the only thing I did was point to the installation directory from AP. Note that I did run FF v8 standalone, and it works ok doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
