[NIK Collection Installation]

 

Hi. I just downloaded The NIK Collection 3 set of filters. My computer is running High Sierra and Affinity Photo is VER 1.83. The meet the requirements. 

I followed these instructions. As below...

1. Installation & create plugins

• Process Nik Collection by DxO installation
• During “Compatible Host” step, click on + to create a custom plugins folder in your preferred directory (use the combination shift+Cmd+n if necessary), then click Open
• In the installer, you will see a Adobe Photoshop Custom1 host added to your list
• By successively clicking on Continue and Install , a 'DxO' folder will be created in background in the directory you chose............................"NIK Collection" not DxO Folder.  
• This 'DxO' folder will contain all Nik Collection by DxO plugins
• Continue installation until finished and click on Close

2. Launch the application Affinity Photo 1.8 (or higher)

3. Import Nik Collection plugins into Affinity Photo 1.8 (or higher)

• In the top menu, go to Affinity Photo > Preferences
• Select Photoshop Plugins tab
• In “Plugin Search Folder” click on Add
• In the dialog popup select the “DxO”  NIK Collection folder created after installation and press Ok
• In “Plugin Support Folder” click on Authorize Global and Authorize without selecting anything
• In “Detected Plugins” check the checkbox to “Allow “Unknown” plugins to be used”
• Close the “Preferences” via the Close button
• Select Restart Now
• If opened after restart, close the “Preferences” popup

4. Import your image to Affinity Photo 1.8 (or higher)

5. Launch Nik Collection by DxO plugins via Affinity Photo 1.8 (or higher)

• Go to Filters > Plugins > Nik Collection > “Plugin Name”

Thru the process "NIK Collection" folder was created instead of a "DxO" Folder. Other than that the instructions were exactly the same as above.
