CopaRAM Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I have been using Nik collection and Topaz Denoise and Sharpen as plugins as late as a couple of hours ago with no problems I just opened another image and tried to access the plugins and they are no longer available. I have tried rebooting the computer and re-installing the plugins with no result. Is anyone else suddenly had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pšenda Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Why is the topic name RAM? Do you expect any memory problems?

John Rostron Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 @CopaRAM, I think that you would attract some more responses to your problem if you used a meaningful title to your tgread. I would suggest: "Nik and Topaz Plugins no longer accessible". What version of the Nik plugins are you using? Could you provide a screenshot of the Edit > Preferences > Photoshop plugins dialogue?

I assumed that it would be sufficiently obvious to all, and that this would show the absurdity of the title used. emmrecs01 1 Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.3.1.2217 Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.2506.

CopaRAM Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Found the problem it seems I need to convert the file to a tiff or jpeg and all plugins are usable again. Seems strange but happy it's working Thanks guys I solved the problem myself, the reason for the strange name is that I thought I was putting up my own name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried this a couple of different ways. Open Sony ARW raw file, make some basic adjustments and develop. I have tried the background layer and a duplicate background layer. Both ways, I access the Topaz Sharpen AI plugin and absolutely nothing happens. What are you doing differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopaRAM Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hello brada, all I did was to revert back to my pervious workflow and process the RAW files in Photolab and export this to Affinity (as a tiff file) where I use Topaz and Nik Collection as pluggins. I now have no problems with either. Hope this works for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
