This video is very helpful....  thank you.
 
However, I am stuck at the step where we add a "go to" folder for the plug in support folder.   The  Shift + Command + G combination  produces the forward slash, but when I click "GO", my computer beeps angrily at me and nothing happens.
 
Is there another option for adding the support folder?

Is the purchase multi-platform? I don't see an option to buy both together, either. I also cannot find any information on how long it is supported for? A year? The 1.5 branch? The  1.* branch?

Good question, I don't know. The full path is ~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto/Data/Library/Application Support/NikLicenseFiles. The folder contains a single empty .txt file (like a timestamp). It will be recreated after deletion and since it is in an AP-specific folder, I assume that it is written from AP. However, as I said it does not influence the behavior. So maybe, the answer is: for nothing. It was just another try to figure out why my system behaves different than the ones of most other systens. I do not doubt that the plugins work with AP. But I still want them to do so on my system. This was one try...
My current goal is to figure out where that timestamp about the start of the trial period is stored. Currently I only know that it is not system-wide, but user-specific, and it is not in the above mentioned files or directories. Also I'm pretty sure that is controlled in some way by AP since the standalone apps work properly. But here my poor wisdom ends at the moment.
 
Edit:
Since I don't want to hijack this thread any more for my technical problem (it's news, I think), I opened a new thread in the Questions section: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/31680-nik-collection-runs-in-demo-mode/

Greetings folks.
 
 
In this thread I will simply be documenting the journey, of things that I create with Affinity.
This is not meant to be a thread for tutorial, rather a thread for what can be made with the software. 
 

With that on the side, feel free to ask questions if you have,
I will be happy to answer.
 
 
Cheers!
 
 

Thanks for the welcome and the information. I have now downloaded the app and it looks fantastic, also congratulations and a big thank you to the team for all the hard work.

Check out the sneak peek of the HDR and 360 image editing features coming to Affinity Photo 1.5!
 
Version 1.5 features announced today include:
 
• Advanced HDR merge producing full 32-bit linear colour space images • An entirely new workspace for tone mapping • Focus stacking to bring depth to multiple combined images • Batch processing for smoother, faster workflow • Macros to record and replay a set of commands • An all-new way to edit 360 degree images   Some much anticipated features to look forward too here, coming soon to Affinity Photo...  :)  

Congratulations guys!
This is well deserved. 
The Affinity community is growing. 3 of my friends already bought the app after 
using it on my mac!
Both AD and AP are solid apps. 
Have a fabulous 2016!
