carl123 ! - thank you so much - It's perfect.. I was just going to update this with a look look it doesn't work! until i read this again: The Fill Layer can be any colour - as you adjust the Opacity of the Gradient nodes to adjust the mask (not the black/white values) - - brilliant - Finally:) EVERY single tutorial I have seen on this mentions only the black/white values and not the Opacity for this desired effect. - thx again Kevin

Davie - Did you manage to fix this? - I had a go at Viveza 2 and it works. (Workflow is through Photos -Edit, Extensions Affinity Photo - plugins - NIK) Its all good except for HDR .. Also I would love to have Luminar (flex/2018) working as a final touch.. No go yet:( Steps: Removed everything Nik related I could find via Terminal (feks find . / -name "*.plugin", find . / -name "*.efex", find . / -name "*NIK" Reinstalled to a new location "initialized" the Nik apps by starting them standalone and opening an image Configured Affinty Photo as shown attached.. Interesting to note that Vivesa and Silver Efex status is unknown - But they do work.. Versions Nik 5.0.2 Mac 10.14.5 Affinity 1.7.1

Wow - Just upgraded now to 10.14.5 (18F132) and it's all working again Kevin

I though I had this fixed also - At least the Updating Fonts disappeared. - Now the Plugin starts briefly - then crashes.. Sooo Close! Macos Mojave 10.14.3 Photo 1.7 Dx0 -2
