I have the same problem on my Mac. I've installed the plugins as per the instructions. Restarted everything. Affinity Photo hands the image to the Topaz Plugin (either Sharpen or Denoise) and then nothing works. Alan

Once again, much appreciated Murfee. Everything is working now. I would never have worked all that out without your help. Kind regards, Alan

Hi Murfee, Now I'm struggling to work out how to convert to 16 bit! Are you able to help with that too?

Brilliant. Many thanks Murfee. I hadn't realised that the Nik software had that limitation. It must have been just coincidence that I was looking at 16 bit files on my desktop and 32 bit on my laptop. Thanks again.

Hi, I've successfully installed the Nik Plugins for use with Affinity Photo 1.8.1 on my iMac, but, having followed exactly the same procedure several times, I can't get them to work on my MacBook pro. I can see all the plugins using Filters-Plugins-Nik on the laptop but all but one (HDR Efex Pro 2) are greyed out. For some reason HDR Efex Pro is enabled. I've tried deleting all the paths in Plugin Search Folders and Plugins Support Folders, can confirm there are no blank lines. Closed Affinity. Restarted the computer. Added Applications/Affinity Plugins/DxO and authorised global. I can see all the Nik plugins under Detected Plugins - but they remain stubbornly greyed out when I go to use them. And I can't figure out why HDR Efex Pro is treated differently as it is simply a plugin within the DxO folder just like all the others. It remains like this every time I reinstall etc. I've re-downloaded reinstalled the Nik plugins. Restarted the laptop multiple times. I'm definitely using AP 1.8.1 and Nik 2.5.0. It all works as it should on the iMac and have done exactly the same on the MacBook Pro. So I am lost to explain why it would work on one machine and not the other. Does anyone have any ideas?
