      <title>Flood 2 with Affinity Photo 1/2</title>

      <description>&lt;h1 id=&#34;how-to-use-flood-2-with-affinity-photo-12&#34;&gt;How to Use Flood 2 with Affinity Photo 1/2&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Flood 2 is a simple Photoshop plugin that also works in Serif&amp;rsquo;s Affintiy Photo (both versions). This also applys to most other Flaming Pear plugins.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;installation&#34;&gt;Installation&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;First, acquire the plugin from &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.flamingpear.com/index.html&#34;&gt;Flaming Pear&amp;rsquo;s site&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Either extract and place the 64-bit version of the plugin into Affinity&amp;rsquo;s Plugins folder, or extract the Flood 2 folder and add it to Affinity&amp;rsquo;s Plugin Search Folders.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Affinity 2 Plugins folders are in [LOCAL USER]\.affinity\Photo\2.0\Plugins&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You can add Search Folders in Edit &amp;gt; Settings &amp;gt; Photoshop Plugins&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&#34;3&#34;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Start or Restart Affinity and you can now locate the plugin under Filters &amp;gt; Plugins&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;the-render-doesnt-work&#34;&gt;The Render Doesn&amp;rsquo;t Work!&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, but no. The render will appear fragmented and non-functional if you try to apply the Flood 2 or similar Flaming Pear plugins to an image without first making a selection. I don&amp;rsquo;t know why but it has something to do with the way Flaming Pear splits images up for renders on the whole canvas.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;This site is built on piece of software called Hugo. I started using it because I was in a bit of a Go phase, messing around with it to learn the syntax and see it&amp;rsquo;s quirks. Go is neat. Hugo is neat. It actually makes writing up nice looking pages pretty quick.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have one major complaint so far. Somewhere in nice &lt;strong&gt;BOLD&lt;/strong&gt; letters it needs to be explained that despite all of the nice people on the forums telling you that you can put whatever you want wherever you want in the &lt;code&gt;content&lt;/code&gt; folder are LIARS.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
