emmrecs01 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/28190-google-viveza-2-doesnt-work-with-affinity-photo/ , the third post in that thread makes reference to something I am seeing with several plugins: Specifically, that the image displayed in the plugin screen, if the original was taken in Portrait mode, will display landscape, i.e the image is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. This happens with the PhotoWiz plugins I have and also with Topaz (all I have), NeatImage, all constituents of the free NIK collection, MV's Wire Worm and AKVIS Nature Art. I think this was not a problem in the initial beta release, though I may not have had opportunity to test all my available plugins with a Portrait format image.

I'm sorry to go off topic, but are you able to use the photoshop plugin of NeatImage in Affinity photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 23, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hi anonymoustache, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Yes, the latest version (8) runs fine in Affinity Photo (for Mac at least). This plug-in is officially supported by ABSoft. anonymoustache 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmrecs01 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 @anonymoustache and MEB. I can confirm it also runs very well in AP for Windows, with the exception of the rotated view that was the reason for this thread.

Mark Ingram Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I spotted this earlier today, it's because the plugins aren't reading the EXIF data from the image (they can't, because we just give them the raw image data). It looks like we should rotate the image before sending it to the plugin. I would imagine this has always been broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmrecs01 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Just resurrecting this thread to keep it on the boil, as it were! When I saw the list of fixes in 1.5.0.39, the first item on the list (though I didn't understand what on earth the words meant!) gave me some hope that this had been fixed, but, no joy. :( I'm sure it will arrive soon??

bcaldwell00 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I just got the Nik Plugins loaded and first image I tried was a portrait. It opened in affinity as expected, but the Nik plugins then launch with the image rotated. Please share fix for this! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It opened in affinity as expected, but the Nik plugins then launch with the image rotated. Please share fix for this! Thanks Sorry, there is, as yet, no fix! Some months ago Mark Ingram acknowledged (post #6 above) this was "caused" by some lack of information being passed to the affected plugs by AP. So the fix has to be created by the developers!

Lai Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Here is a temporary workaround that should work for most photos: - Under Layers panel, right click on the image layer that is to be edited with plugin - Select Rasterise... - Launch plugin The image should be in correct orientation now emmrecs01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, hopefully the devs will eventually ensure that such an additional step becomes unnecessary!
