Nik Collection 3 released - anyone tried it?

Hi does Nik 3.0 work in Adobe camera raw? I think I would like to do that and then export to affinity photo. 

The Nik plugins are just that: they plug in to the main photo program (Photo or Photoshop). They do not work with raw developers. I have never tried opening a raw file in any of the standalone programs, so I cannot help you there.

Hi @Wish,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
You can invoke/use the Nik Collection inside Photoshop itself (Filters menu) but not directly while using Camera RAW. What you can do (assuming you are working with a RAW file) is to open the RAW from Camera RAW as a smart object so you can apply the Nik Collection filters non-destructively to the smart object (as smart filters) but again this doesn't bring up any advantage regarding Affinity as we do not support smart filters and will rasterise the PSD on import.
