If there are any other filter makers that you all have loved in the old pshop please ask them to make filters for affinity. Please post their facebook page, or other contact method here, and Ill be happy to make requests as well. I miss all my goodies but never going back to the rob-you-blind-subscription model that adobe demands.

Look at MEB's page on just this. Unfortunately it is a bit out of date, but it is getting updated slowly.

to the best of my knowledge no filters work with affinity. Because how could we load them unless the software allows you to load them? gotta admit I have found affinity learning curve a little daunting because they frequently use odd terminology as compared to what Im used to. Or, I just do not know how to find it. defo would like to see an official list FROM affinity showing filters they support. Best of my knowledge no one making filters for them.

Your first assertion: 'no filters work with affinity' is simply not true. I have a dozen or more filter plugins working on my Photo 1.6, most of which also work in the 1.7 beta.

Adobe publishes an API  for plugins that act as filters. Those filters which adhere to the specification closely will work with Photo. Unfortunately not all plugins do so.

Some, but not all plugin companies do work with Affinity to ensure that their plugins work. Filter Forge is a case in point.

I do concur with your last point though. A definitive list from Affinity would be desirable without having to rely on @MEB's list, which is his own personal effort.
