It takes a minute or so to load the image, then it sort of works, although I've had application hangs and slow-downs which have required me to force restart Affinity Photo, especially if I switch between apps while the plugin window is open. I extracted it to my desktop, then used Finder to move it into one of my recognised plugin folders.Īfter that I was able to access it through the Filters menu īut performance is very very dodgy. I had to use a package manager (Pacifist) to locate the plugin in the downloaded package: I suspect that the Retouch4Me installer doesn't actually install the plugin (at least for me when I downloaded and installed the trial version of Dodge&Burn). This is my experience with macOS 13 Ventura, Affinity Photo 2.
