Hi mikerofoto,
There is indeed a bug that was already fixed internally. The fix is being implemented in the app's Betas as we speak - some (most recent) may be working correctly already.
Note that for these options to be available you must change at least one setting. In your screenshot above, one of the default presets is still selected (JPG - Best Quality) meaning you haven't made any changes to the settings yet (required so you can create and save a custom preset).

thanks for the reply,

indeed I did, I tried many changes like bilinear, bicubic, use format document to RGB8bit, dropping quality, still can't add preset and staying greyed out.

[export preset?]

I just switch AP from app store to serif store, sadly nothing got saved and the software just overwrite/reset everything to scratch. what happened to export preset?

I've spent almost an hour and can't figure out what am I doing wrong, it just greyed out and can't save any. see screenshot, is this a bug from last update?

transferred all the settings correctly.

Well... if you click replace, settings are not transferred, you need to setup your plugins again and all other perks, that’s a bummer =/

[Get out off App store?]

Got the answer... you get 2 choices during install, replace or keep both.

switch stores it's a good time to do it.

If you have  Affinity Photo from the apple store, switching to Sherif website, you have to delete AP first before installing the one from Sherif?

[new plugin in AP?]

hmmmm.... problem solved.

those are actually part of Dfine. weird that I've never seen those before.

[new plugin in AP?]

Hi folks, was wondering if other user have those plugin in the preference/plugin of AP.

I have no clue what those are (the top 7, above color efex) and where they from but noticed as I was to removed nik pre-sharpening as I never use this one.

were they implemented with the latest update 1.8 of AP?

Top right you’ll see “zoom” in the Nik window, you can adjust from there, you can also increase the size of your window close or same size as AP on your screen.

[Install NiK 2 plugin in Affinity Photo 1.8]

People forget or don’t click the “+” button and create a folder for it, maybe its time for to add more than Ps and Lr as only option.

you didn’t really had to uninstall, just re-install leave the software in same folder but plugin in your specific folder.

there’s also many other threads related to installing Nik with AP

Correct, you cannot go back for further edits.

[Nik Plugins Installation Issue]

In your app folder, create a folder and name it nik_plugin_dxo.

look at your 3rd image “compatible host app”

- click the “+”down left and go select that folder I asked you to create in the app folder. When you done the installation that’s where the plugins are going to be installed.

 

now, to add them to AP.

open the preference panel and to to the plugin section, that’s where you’ll add them

The APHOTO aspect is a problem for most DAMs

Would be nice if Sherif could make it possible to save the work in a sidecar instead of aphoto, wouldn’t that save file size lower, readable by other DAM and file viewer as Fastrawviewer and photo mechanic?

[How to save after changes made]

cmd “s” on mac to save, not sure for Windows but you can check in the top menu / File / save (for shortcut)

[Can't get Icon to open software /]

Restart your computer, that would close it.
