I got an email from DXO. They said that when I installed NIK4 it didn't uninstall NIK3 as it should so I should uninstall them both and reinstall NIK4. I did that and it's all up and running OK. However, it tells me that Perspective Efex does not work in Affinity. I can make changes on screen but apparently they do not get saved. The perspective tool in Affinity is very powerful in its own right so I guess I won't miss the NIK tool. It looks like they got my issue sorted faster than a lot of others. Best wishes to those who are still waiting for their fix.

Thanks for the info about others having problems. I thought I had done something at my end. I put in a support request about it. Hopefully they will get back to me before too long.

OK, update a half hour later. Some success and some continuing frustration. I tried to reinstall the software from the download but it told me it's already installed and wouldn't do it again. So I went into the search box on the bottom left of the Win 10 screen. I found there was a DXO NIk entry. I hit the link and it asked me if I wanted to install NIK so I did. This time it mostly worked. When I open Affinity and try to use NIK I can see all the apps on the Filters/Plugins menu. I worked down the list and they all open now, except for Viveza 3 and Silver Efex Pro 3. The app list shows Viveza 2 and Silver Efex Pro 2 from the previous version and they work. Frustration continues.

I'm not sure if I should add a question to this thread or start a new one. However, here's the question. I had NIK 3 in Affinity on a PC with Windows 10 and it worked fine. Today I upgraded to NIK 4, installed it according to the directions, set the Edit/Preferences panel as directed, but it doesn't work. When I try to open NIK in a pic I only see two options instead of all the apps, I can see Viveza 3 and Silver Efex Pro 3 in the menu but none of the others like Perspective, Color Efex, Analog etc. When I hit the link nothing happens. The interface that used to open is gone and nothing is happening. Shouldn't the things I can see refer to version 4 instead of 3? Any hints anyone? Or should this go in a new thread? Thanks Kim

Thanks for the replies, everyone, especially John Roston. I've found there are a lot more choices searching with "seamless" than without.

I'm working on a portrait that I'd like to simulate being printed onto canvas. The only way I can figure out how to do it is to have a canvas overlay pic as a texture and blend it. However, I can't find such an overlay of the size I need. The portrait is 6,000 pixels wide and I can only find files up to 1200, but mostly only 600 px. Is there some resource that has decent overlays such as this? Or is there a canvas texture built into Affinity photo that I can't find? Thanks.
