Or make it work reliably with Photoshop elements.
50.- for a single lifetime license of affinity photo is way more cost effective as PS elements ; -)
(sometimes you can get it for 28.-)
Just to point it out, while the Affinity Photo license is perpetual, it only includes upgrades within the major version, and there is unlikely to be upgrade pricing. You will probably need to buy it again from scratch when 2.0 comes out if you want to stay current - though that will still be dramatically cheaper than the Adobe options.
Also, there is currently no support for export plugins in Affinity Photo, so BMD would have no way to develop this no matter how much you beg them to do so. While Serif has indicated that Affinity Photo will eventually support a native plugin API, it is not clear if that will ever include support for export plugins, nor has any particular version or timeframe for the plugin API been committed to.
