In your latest screenshot the mask is already filled with white.

Hi Mohammed Elkhamissy,
Currently several plugins of the new DxO Nik Collection seems to freeze Affinity Photo. Only the free Google version is working (with a few issues on some plugins).

Hi Mohammed,
Your plugin search folder doesn't seem to be the good one. Actually, according to your screenshot, there is twice the same path, and this is the standalone app path.
You have to change for the plugin path, wich is where you create it when the Nik install dialog box ask you for third party applications, then restart AP.

I have v1.2.12 running just fine on Mac, Standalone and Plugin.

Hi firstdefence,
Yes, 1.12.12 works fine in both standalone and plugin versions (this is the latest free version from DXO). Better keep a copy of that one, there isn't any major changes in the latest paid release anyway...
If you already have the latest paid version from DXO (1.12.14), the standalone app works fine, but the plugins don't work and cause AP to freeze (you have to use the force-to-quit option). So you can use the new standalone alongside the old plugins (just replace the new plugins folder by a backup of the old one)

Hello everybody, 
it seems that we are a bit scattered on this topic, there is another thread on the Affinity forum.
Maybe you could have a look at the DXO forum : https://feedback.dxo.com/t/request-nik-affinity-interoperability/3203/5
We ought to show up there, so maybe the DXO team will notice that there is not only Adobe users on earth.

i added them manually after installing the old free Nik and just the googe folder for the plugin search, haven’t changed anything to that before installing the new Nik. I did used the authorized global otherwise they were not working with AP.
