the release should be out soon though right?

Great! I've been waiting to update. Now I will.

Are you using the old free version or one of the newer version of NIK ?

I had installed the 1.7 update but because of the problem with the NIK collection, I went back to 1.6 I am running Mojave and the old free version of NIK. I realize now that I need to update to the new Nik collection to run with 1.7. I know there are a lot of bugs in 1.7 but I'm sure they will all get worked out, but is the new Nik worth the $100.00?

I've just started playing with luminosity masks in channels and the thumbnails that are generated a too small see what will be effected. I can move the whole channel box and make that larger but the thumbnails stay the same size. Is it possible to increase the size?

Thanks! That was exactly what was happening.

I tried some night time shots this week and ended up stacking 4 or 5 raw files together to benefit from noise reduction. I then flattened that image and applied multiple adjustment layers till I got the result I was after but of course the file was quite large (that's why I can't attach it here}. My problem is when I flatten that image a lot of the noise comes back into the image. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be a workflow problem? Thanks

I was unable to get the new version to work as a plug-in. It kept freezing up while it was loading, however I tried using it as a stand alone and everything works great including Viveza.

I'm using High Sierra 10.13.4

Do all the applications within the collection work for you? In the old version I had problems with many of them.

I realized it might be helpful to show what I'm talking about so here is an image as it appears in Affinity and then Veriza

I've been running Affinity with the Nik collection without any problems with the exception of Viveza 2. When I import a photo to Viveza it will generally have a strong reddish cast and be de-satureted in the other colors. Has any one else had this problem?

Bingo!! Thanks!!

Thanks, I have been playing with XnViewMP and can't get it to preview Affinity Photo files. What option are you referring to? It would be great if that would work.

I have read the threads already posted about alternatives to Bridge. I have checked several of them out, but I haven't found any that will work with the affinity file extension. I just was playing with Pixave because It looked like that would work but alas I could not get it to work. Is there anything out there? Thanks
