It seems to work for me when using the top level folder for the NIK Collection rather than adding each folder individually:

And the Filters appear in the list:

 

It's deliberate

This happened after the install and the thing is that Affinity recognises CR3s as a image file and lets you select them to open. But of course the message displayed is that it is unsupported.
I suspect that the install is selecting all unallocated image files during the install.

The workaround is to choose Document-> Convert Format/ICC Profile, then convert the ICC Profile to sRGB IEC IEC61966-2.1, call Studio, do your work and then when you go back to Affinity convert back to your original ICC Profile using the same dialog.

.aphoto files are not backward compatible as they typically implement new features.

Maybe they want to suggest that one can achieve different looks without needing to be an artist!

If (and only if) the file format doesn’t change before release, you will be able to open your beta version 1.7 files in retail version 1.7.

Why don't you look at Adobe Bridge that is free ... and there are quite a few free others out there such as Irfanview, XNview etc., etc. Personally my preference is Adobe Bridge and Irfanview.

Hi AiDon,
Sorry, I forgot you are using Windows. What I meant is the Rasterise & Trim... command is now available in the right-click menu in the Layers panel on the latest Beta on Mac and will be available on the Windows version as well in one of the upcoming Betas.

Hi AiDon,
Check the latest Affinity Photo Customer Beta 1.7.0.111.

In the Affinity Photo Customer Beta version there was a few changes to the Crop Tool/commands. To rasterise the image and get rid of the cropped data use the menu  Layer ▸ Rasterise & Trim... instead of Layer ▸ Rasterise....
 

Hi Evgeniy Bruskov,
Did you have finished the crop operation clicking the blue Apply button in the context toolbar on the top left of the interface before rasterising the layer and running the plugin? If you don't complete the crop operation clicking the blue Apply button then nothing was cropped and the plugin loads the whole image.

I think it was an accident that it was working how it did  But I'll ask! 

I don't agree with this statement at all.

No worries. It’s an easy assumption to make!

I'm going to lock this thread now, as the original problem as reported has been fixed.

I feel the same way, but it seems that some people find the idea of a tightly integrated set of tools particularly attractive.

I wonder if the people wanting Serif to create a DAM, unusual for a pixel editor, would pay for it ... and how much.
Personally I don't see the value of a DAM for AP. There are so many explorer alternatives available for free now ... Adobe Bridge, IrfanView, XN-View , etc., etc.

The RAW Image Extension, like the Mac Core Image Engine, is only in Beta and available on the Insider Previews. It will be a while before it is available and applications will be able to use it. 

Thanks for your feedback. 

Hi Dennis Nisbet,
This is not correct. All staff members you see here on the forums (look at the badge below the avatars) are Serif employees from the Support and QA teams, Management & Developers teams, Marketing teams etc etc. You are talking directly with the people who work on the software.

The americans, who actually were the french, German, Italian, BRITISH, Spanish and DUTCH fought this war to throw off the shackles of Business and trade tied to England, not 'thinking'. And besides, history teaches us what we should have learned from History, empires fall, collapsing mostly from within as opposed to invasion, and America is hardly Leading the world, her dominance is more by force due to the fact that her empire is also collapsing. 

Hi thewhitewolfyt,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
This is probably due to a corrupt screen profile or some issue with the profile chosen. Check this thread for details/instructions.

Hi rozaliakiepska,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
There's no plans for a Linux version.

Luminar has just announced that its latest version offers the functions of catalogs ...
When will the Affinity team understand that this tool is important?
I know a lot of photographers, amaters or pros, who stays at the competition unnaturally because of that ... and others, like me, who is thinking about coming back to Adobe or going to another competitor ...
