Can Affinity Photo be used as a plug-in within On1 Photo Raw 2022? I've searched the topic and only found using On1 as a plug-in within Affinity Photo.

  It can if it comes with any plug-ins for Photoshop or Lightroom. See page 8 in the User Guide for instructions on how to install Photoshop plug-ins for Photo RAW to use.

  The specs page for Affinity Photo shows that it does come with a Photoshop plug-in so it should be a matter of copying it to Photo RAW's PhotoshopPlugins folder which you can reach by going to Preferences > Plug-ins and clicking the Open Default Folder button.

  Hmm. Looking at the Affinity specs page, plus their help pages within the Affinity Photo program, it seems Affinity can use Photoshop-compatible plug-ins, but cannot be used as a plug-in itself. Unless someone has other experience doing this, I may have to export and import files as TIF between On1 and Affinity.

  Sorry, I must have misread the page. You know about using Send To …, right?
