Walt, THANKS! I think if would be helpful to many if Affinity gave more detail on LUTS in their "Guide to add ons" page under "Add on Types", i.e., that they are adjustments, and include a link to a simple how-to about loading them after the download. I've been using Affinity since the beginning so maybe that shows I've haven't learned much since then. Thanks again for your prompt help!

I made a download of Ivan Weiss's LUT pack from within the Affinity Photo app account window and got the green arrow. I can't find the LUT pack. I restarted the app, opened the Assets window. Blank. I read the posted Add On instructions on the Affinity web page. Didn't help. Tried to find "Refresh Library" in Preferences but there are a lot of choices but I couldn't find it. Searched my Mac for "top 9 LUT pack" and "Ivan Weiss" and find nothing. After a lot of trying, I'm now asking for help here. Please. Affinity Photo v2.1.1 Mac OS 12.6.8 Thank you.

Hens, thank you for clarifying the distinction for me, enough so that I can now select multiple adjustment layers. I really don't understand the functional difference between clipped and masked positions but I'll do the work to find out. If memory is correct, I recall that all of James' tutorials talked about offering an adjustment layer to the vertical blue line, and in those instances it appeared that multiple layers were selectable. Whether my memory is accurate or not, that's what I adopted. 😁

Topaz offers instructions for attaching their app as a plugin to AF. https://help.topazlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001129351-Serif-Affinity-Photo-Using-Your-Topaz-Labs-Plug-ins When working in AF, I invoke the Sharpen AI app with the image I have open and the app connects as a plugin and launches fine. The problem is, it is non-functional - does not process anything. I've sent this on to Topaz and am awaiting their reply, but I wonder if there is any knowledge about this with AP people. Thanks.

Thanks, mikerofoto. Nik support could have outright told me to do an uninstall / reinstall, which they finally got around to saying. Parenthetically, it's quite easy to add DxO's Nik to CaptureOne without any pre-install steps. I hope the workaround needed for Affinity doesn't kill that connectivity ease my Nik plugins have with CaptureOne. I'm not casting aspersions on Affinity, which I love, and will gladly go thru the hoops to hook it up with Nik.

Am I missing a key point here? My original question was about connecting Nik to Affinity after an installation where the plugin step was not done - IOW, special folder not created. Watching James' video, am I to understand the ONLY way Affinity can access the Nik plugins is during the initial Nik installation? Therefore, I need to do a reinstall. Yes?? If so, I assume I should do an uninstall so as not to orphan the reference files and the original plugins folder? Has anyone done the uninstall? I still have the original 32-bit Google plugins from a decade ago connected to my Aperture install, and don't want to lose them by chance just yet. (Soon I will switch over to another library app but until then….) Thanks.

Thank you, John. The Nik plugins themselves are in (Hard drive)/ User>Library>Preferences>DxO, which I specified in the screen cap. However, I discovered another DxO folder in the root Library>Preferences that contains empty folders for all the plugins and a Nik Collection folder containing NikCollection.cfg.
