![]() Their forums are also a good source of information, and they have a huge number of excellent short video tutorials. Affinity Photo (AP) deserves more attention than it's getting on LuLa.īesides, there may be other folks who know a bit about AP, or use an alternative approach to address certain challenges. No problem (if time permits), but let's do it in a publicly accessible thread so that others can benefit from the exchange and I do not have to repeat my reactions in PMs from different people. With newer hardware, it becomes only more likely that things keep running, only faster. I think that the demo will run as expected, but there is only one way of making sure. Quote from: Bart_van_der_Wolf on April 24, 2019, 08:12:14 am Yes, I also use CS6 and NeatImage as a Plugin (not as a standalone application). I have the app but there are a few things I cannot get around so I'll have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind. ![]() I believe we have that in common.ĮDIT: I'll be in touch sometime soon re Affinity Photo. They also advised to download the demo version just to make sure the plugin will work in PS-CS6, my preferred version. I am planning to upgrade the GPU soon so that should mitigate the speed "issue" I believe. It did mention that the app wouldn't use the somewhat ancient GPU in my MacPro 2012, but it would work with the CPU quite well, albeit perhaps a bit slow. I received a very inclusive reply that boiled down to their opinion that it should work very well. I sent an inquiry to their "Support" department with all of the information they would need to let me know if the app would work properly on my setup. In my exploration of their site I read a bit about creating ISO Profiles, so that is something I'll do once I have the app installed and running as expected. It does have a huge number of adjustments you can use to set up depending on the results you want.Īnd of course the size of your images does make a difference in processing times. ![]() I actually use it inside a VM with 6 cores set and it runs quite fast there but years ago on a slower machine I would simply set it running overnight. It can also use all the CPU cores you have on your machine if you let it - there is a provision in the options menu to set the number of cores used. The one good thing about Neat Image is the capability to batch process hundreds of images in one go. I can usually get a quality rating for my profiles of 98 upwards which gives the best results. The main thing you must do with it is prepare correct profiles for every ISO on the cameras you are using. I use the standalone version and there is no need to upgrade your GPU. ![]() The Filters plugin we have is how it appears in Photoshop, but I think you'd use an edit in or open with option within Affinity for using Studio 2 from Affinity.I've used this software for many years and, until JPEG to RAW came along was my #1 choice for NR.īut now, since Topaz seem to have totally destroyed that program, Neat Image will be used again. We never developed Studio 2 specifically for Affinity and we never tested Studio 2 with Affinity directly. As far as I know this should work as an external editor using an "edit in" or "open with" option within Affinity unless Affinity reads our Photoshop plugin, but I'm not sure if that's the case. Here’s what the Topaz support team told me: “ We don't have a true plugin for Affinity photo that installs directly into Affinity like our plugin does for Photoshop. I’ll definitely try that approach out and see if that fixes it. Regardless, it seems pretty lame that Topaz doesn't offer better support for Mac Affinity users. I think that should make it unnecessary to add anything to Plugin Search Folders but do not know if it will work at all. I would do the copy after quitting AP to be on the safe side. plugin files to the AD 2 default plugin folder (using the "Open Default Folder in Finder" button in the window. If not, it might be possible to open the app package in Finder (via right-click "Show Package Contents") & copy the. So did they say that after clicking "Add" in Plugin Search Folders, you could do that & drill down into the Topaz Studio 2 package & add the plugin(s) that way?
