youngmedia Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Has anyone downloaded the Nik Plugins upgrade? How does it work with Affinity? Do you get all of the benefits or are some Adobe only? They seem to mention Adobe a lot, and not Affinity, when mentioning the changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanGmedia Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 It is very disappointing. It works exactly as per v2.5 but the new perspective plugin (which does much more than just fix perspective) doesn't work natively with Affinity. You need to export a tiff, then run the plugin standalone, save the tiff then open it in Affinity. Too much faff. Also the new "non destructive" editing via "enhanced" tiff files is not available from Affinity (nor from DxO Photolab so far as I can see! Which is even more strange) but unless you really need the Perspective Efex plugin there is nothing to make an affinity user upgrade from 2.5 IMHO. If you do splash out the new plugin uses an entirely different UI from the others (which weren't exactly consistent anyway!) but is very powerful for fixing perspective, sorting edge distortion on wide angle shots, defishing fisheye images and (if you really must!) toy-town selective focus effects. But the much heralded "intregration" with Affinity seems to have been ditched after one release. Very poor show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngmedia Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 That is annoying, as is the fact that I purchased about 60 days before the new one came out. The upgrade discount only applied for 30 days and was not really an upograde for us anyway. One more annoying thing is the pop up that constantly asks me to upgrade. I spoke to DxO about that and they gavce me some code to add to the library file, editable in Text Edit. I am not sure of this now means I will not get update notices for my existing version. __________________ Riley (Support & Assistance) Jul 15, 2020, 11:46 PM GMT+2 Hello JAMES, To disable the upgrade pop-up, please open the following file using TextEdit: /Library/Preferences/DxO/Nik Collection/NikCollection.cfg and look for: </group> <group name=“Checkforupdate”> any information here </group> if this line is found:<key name=“IsEnabled” type=“bool” value=“1"/> change it to:<key name=“IsEnabled” type=“bool” value=“0"/> if this line is not found, please change this section to: </group> <group name=“Checkforupdate”> <key name=“IsEnabled” type=“bool” value=“0"/> </group> Please only replace the text exactly and do not omit any blank lines already in the file, specifically the one after the second </group>.
