Alien Skin Exposure X4

[sveto]

I'm ready to leave Photoshop behind and jump into Affinity. But i have one single plug-in that i'm doing all my finishing work in, and where all my custom presets are. It's Alien Skin's Exposure (X4 is the current version).

I wanted to ask if there are any compatibility problems with this plug-in in Affinity Photo, because it's used constantly here with Photoshop, and i can't live without it.

I just tried it myself with the trial. Exposure X4 can be opened in Affinity Photo, but when i want to apply a filter preset, Photo crashes to desktop.

This is very disappointing to me. I've waited for a year for better plug-in support, but in vain...

Is there anything that can be done? Some compatibility setting perhaps?

that's a list of what is supported. all you can do is save as .tiff or .dng and open in the other software.

Your help is appreciated, but i don't use Apple products.

Does Serif not have their own plug-in compatibility list? IMO, there should be a dedicated topic with up-to-date info, so interested customers could find out what works, efficiently.

So, it seems nothing's changed yet. I guess i'll look around next year and see if the situation has gotten better. Meanwhile i'm back to PS CS6.

P.S. This is what Alien Skin replied to me regarding this problem:

Unfortunately this is an Affinity issue as they report to support plug-ins designed for Photoshop. Their implementation of the Photoshop plug-in SDK doesn't seem to be complete.
