John Rostron Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I was recently made an offer I could not refuse to upgrade my Filter Forge 7 to version 8. There have been hints that Filter Forge has been working to get FF to work with Affinity Photo, so I tried it in both AP 1.6 and AP 1.7 Beta. The plugin installed OK in both programs. Curiously, although the folder was present in the Photoshop Plugins dialog box, the actual plugin was not listed in the Preferences. When I went to Filters > Plugins Filter Forge 8 was listed in both. In AP 1.6 when I selected FF8, I immediately got an error message (which has been submitted to Filter Forge). In AP1.7 Beta, when I selected FF8, the plugin interface appeared and it invited me to register, which I did successfully. However, when I selected a filter to apply to my image, Filter Forge closed and left Affinity Photo Frozen. I had to use the Task Manager to close AP. I tried again today with AP 1.7 Beta and FF8 gave me the same error message as in 1.6, but did not freeze AP. Filter Forge have said here: "We're trying to contact AP developers to fix the problem. How they'll answer us soon and we'll be able to make Filter Forge work under AP again. Meanwhile we suggest to work with Filter Forge in a standalone mode and use copy and paste feature to drag images to and from AP." I shall have to stick with the standalone for now. John EDIT: I seem to have posted this in the wrong forum, in the Suggestions for Affinity Photo on Desktop. It was intended for Affinity on Desktop (MAC and Windows).

Raymondo Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hi john Just to say FF8 works fine in Photo1.7 beta on Mac so I’m assuming it’s a Windows thing. John Rostron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMustang Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Be been trying to get FF7 to work as a plug-in with AP 1.6.7 on the Mac, but nothing happens. Apparently this is a known issue? I’ve tried contacting Filter Forge about it but as of yet have gotten no response at all. I feel they’re being petty as I just recently grabbed a free promo license key for it instead of paying. Not encouraging me to plunk down cash, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See for FF5/6 on Mac here (click on the yellow label/text to expand), maybe it's due to that.
