Correct. Viveza is the only plugin that crashes AP But all the others are working

After a few hours of hard work I finally got the Nik Collection suite up and running on Affinity Photo. Here are the different steps: I remind you that I am on MAC and the version of my OS X system was Mojave. I finally downloaded a trial version from DXO of the Nik Collection suite to check if it works but unfortunately it was a failure! As for the old free version of Google only a few modules worked but the 2 most important for me, Color Efex Pro 4 and Silver Efex Pro 2 did not work and made AP crash. I finally decided to install the latest version of OS X, "Big sur" and there, miracle, all the plugins of the DXO Nik Efex suite work! Finally, I uninstalled the trial version from DXO and installed my free version from Google and everything works fine too!

Thanks a lot Marvin. I hesitate to buy the new version since I read on this forum that there were as many problems with the DXO version as with the Google one

Some details on how plugins of the Nik Collection work : Color Efex Pro 4 : Red window like screenshot above HDR Efex Pro 2 : Crash Silver Efex Pro 2 : Red Window Viveza 2 : OK but need to switch to 8 bits document Sharpener Pro 3 : OK Dfine 2 : OK Analog Efex Pro : Crash Someone is successfully using the Nik Collection plugin suite with the latest version of Affinity Photo 1.9.0. ?

Hello everyone and especially to MEB QA / SUPPORT. I downloaded and installed Affinity Photo yesterday and I am very happy with this fabulous software. Unfortunately I am very frustrated because my software or rather main plugin, Siver Efex Pro 2 does not work in my AP version 1.9.0 I installed the Nik Collection suite correctly but the only module that seems to work is Viveza as long as you convert the documents to 8 bits! For my 2 main modules, namely Color Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro I just have a red window! It's very annoying because Silver Efex is my daily working tool and I have been using it for over 10 years. My current version of Nik Collection is Google's. I am on iMac Retina 27 and mac OS Mojave. I would be so happy to find a solution otherwise I would have no choice but to keep using Photoshop Elements. Yvon
