In my Nik Collection: 2 of the plugins show up in preferences with a red warning: "Requires Global Support." Can anyone tell me what I should point global support to? Thank you!!

Thank you! I am going to try to add space in a tasteful way and see how many of my images I can use for that project. I tried cropping by ratio and now I do understand it better. Thanks again!

Very helpful! Thank you!!

Thank you for your kind response. I think I posed the wrong questions. I simply do not understand cropping and resizing. My photos come from my camera in a 4:3 ratio. If I only need an unframed print I can order a 16 x 24 and that works. Today I was asked to send photos for printing 8 x 10 inches @ 300 DPI. I recognize that is a different ratio, but then I am stuck. I thought from my reading that I could simply type in the new values in "Document" "Resize Document." But that didn't work. I tried cropping but then I either have to lose some of my image or add something to it. Like a blissful idiot I have produced an inventory of desirable photo art but i'm afraid I may not be able to get it printed or matted and framed. The lab offers tools and help for Photoshop only. Can you point me to a reading or video source or even a coach or tutor where I can learn? Thanks for your help!

Please help with info on resizing photos for print. I need to submit 8 x 10 photos for print. I resized my photos by resizing the document to 8 x 10 inches with dpi set to 300 checked resample and chose bilinear. I submitted my photos to a lab and and they were unable to print 8 x 10 photos without cropping and loss of important details. What did do wrong? I read forum entries. I read my Affinity workbook and checked the online manual. I can't find anyplace to get this info. Any help?

Hello, I run Mac Catalina 10.15.5. I have Topaz Labs programs running as plugins and working fine. Today I stated processing photos with my new factory rebury. Nikon D7200. I processed the photo in Affinity and opened Topaz Studio 2 as plugin as usual. This time the photo opened in landscape mode instead of portrait mode as shot. Nothing changed except the camera from Nikon D5600 to Nikon D7200. I can't find any way to change the orientation in Topaz Studio 2. Are there any camera specific settings in Affinity Photo? Any idea for a fix? Thank you!
