Photoshop 2019 Plugins

[Noah Casanova]

Ifollowed an online tutorial about adding existing Photoshop plugins to Affinity Photo. Going to preferences, I added the PS plugins folder and checked "Allow Unknown Plugins to be Used." Then I restarted Affinity Photo.

Long-time user of Serif products, chiefly PagePlus and PhotoPlus, but also WebPlus, CraftArtistProfessional and DrawPlus. Delighted to be using Affinity Designer, Photo, and now Publisher, version 1 and now version 2.

I see your installed version of PS is CS6. I have Adobe Audition CS6 and it was 32 bit only. Was PS CS6 the same? if so, its plugins must also be 32 bit, but APh requires the 64 bit versions. So, you may need to consider installing the 64 bit version of your plugins.

When I install a plugin, it installs the .8bf files in a folder within that plugin's folder. It will not install in any PS folder because I do not have any PS software. I then call the Affinity Photo Preferences dialogue box and point it to the folder where it was installed.

Note that most plugins are installed in a separate folder for each file. This is true for the Nik package, and my Topaz plugins all install in separate folders within the installation folder. Note also that typically there will be a separate folder (and a separate .8bf file) for 64-bit and 32-bit plugins. Make sure that you point to the right one.

A few plugins (such as Filter Forge) now recognise Affinity Photo as a host and will automatically install the .8bf file in the default Affinity Photo plugin folder. To locate it, in the Photoshop plugins dialogue box, Click Open Default Folder.

Hi SteveRoberts,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

Have you also checked if the plugin files were actually installed there: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS6

Some plugins install the files directly to: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Cs6/Plug-ins/

As mentioned above make sure they are all 64bits plugins.

Previous versions of ON1 plugins never worked with Affinity Photo. They were not recognized/didn't appear in the Filters menu. I haven't tested the latest version but it's quite possible it still doesn't work. Will have to check. The Nik Collection however should work in Affinity Photo 1.8.3 with minor issues (excepting Perspective Efex which doesn't run at all/is not compatible).

I installed two plug-ins by Alien Skin: Exposure X2 and Snap Art 4. After deciding I didn't want them, I uninstalled them but the Photoshop menu options have not been removed. I want to remove these options from my Photoshop interface.

I've linked an Imgur album which shows how it looks on my computer as well as the error that is presented when I try to launch the Snap Art 4 option. When I select Exposure 2, there is no apparent reaction that occurs.

This entire situation was made frustrating because various searches in Finder and Spotlight did NOT turn up any search results for "Alien Skin", "Snap Art 4", or "Exposure X2". This is despite those exact phrases being in the containing folder.

6. Manual reset of Photoshop preferences by deleting PluginCache.psp and Adobe Photoshop Prefs.psp both in Macintosh HD/Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CSx Settings/

This may sound simplistic, but when you said that you were able to locate the files via the Finder--does that mean you physically opened the plug ins folder and pulled them out of the folder? Did you trash them and throw away the trash and then restart your computer and then restart Photoshop?

I will say that I'm clearly not a computer expert, but I did learn that going to "/Library/" in Finder's "Go to folder" menu option will result in showing you MORE folders and files than you'd be able to see just by accessing Library a different way. This "/Adobe/Plug-Ins/" folder was not visible at all when I accessed Library by using the "Alt/Option" method.

I would also like to add that I'm disappointed I had to escalate my call to a supervisor to get the issue figured out. The supervisor also tried to blame the plug-in for "staying" in Photoshop. My entire point was that Photoshop MUST know where the plug-in is being pulled from and therefore Adobe should be able to determine where that location is so the offending fie could be removed. I'm glad that it was eventually able to happen. When calling, expect what you deserve and not an ounce less.

Hello, got the same problem with blow up but on a PC, I have removed all trace of the plugin from photoshop and my pc but still shows up in the filter menu even when i press shift on load. How stupid is that?

This was after searching and then giving up about 15 times and writing to the brushbox developer about 10 times and then they finally gave up and just sent my money back and told me 'you're on your own jack'. So it's been a real PITA but now it's fixed!!!

Designed for creative photo effects, batch processing, and basic adjustments, these free plugins will help you achieve your artistic vision. Many professional photographers use these to improve their workflow, so why you shouldn't?

Many software companies develop Photoshop plugins that offer specific functionalities. They might solve a single problem or a category of problems to help you focus on the creative part of your work.

Luminar Neo is a standalone software. But it can also be a Photoshop plugin. Just imagine what opportunities such a potent mixture will open up for you!
