JDC56 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 AF Photo crashes when using NIK plug-ins. Problem shows when I am using and manipulating control points in the NIK plug-in. It is most common when using the Dfine 2 plug-in, but can happen with other plug-ins as well. The crash does not produce a debug file, nor is there any restore point. After multiple crashes, I've given up and reverted to using an old version of Photoshop to get the work done. Version: 1.9.1.179 Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 20H2 Installed on 2020-08-01 OS build 19042.804 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900KF CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, Driver 457.51 Crash occurs when Hardware Acceleration is either on or off. I've tried both. Plug-in image window functions in a more stable manner when hardware acceleration is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Chris B Posted March 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hey JDC56, I've had a quick go and it seems to be OK for me but I'm on an older version of the NIK collection. I'll see if I can get a trial or key for the current one.

JDC56 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hi Chris B, Interesting. I double checked using a .jpeg vs .tif file -- just in case file size was a contributor. I got to 4 control points, then AF Photo crashed. JPEG image was 1.7 Mb (created on an 18-year old Pentax Optio S); TIF is 21 Mb scanned negative (created by SilverFast 8.8 and a Plustek 8200i film scanner). Size of file does not seem to be an influencer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I also use the NIK plugins and once applied DFine2 to a 2 GiB photo on which I set 11 measuring points without AFPhoto crashing. What happens when you use the standalone NIK filters apps? Find them mostly on: C:\Program Files\DxO\Nik Collection Quote AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | INTEL Arc A770 LE 16 GB | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (22631.3296) AMD A10-9600P | dGPU R7 M340 (2 GB) | 8 GB DDR4 2133 MHz | Windows 10 Home 22H2 (1945.3803) Affinity Suite V 2.4 & Beta 2.(latest) Better translations with: https://www.deepl.com/translator Interested in a robust (selfhosted) PDF Solution?

JDC56 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 No problem when opened in standalone NIK filter apps. No problem when used as plug-in within Photoshop CS6 (64-bit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenm Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I am also having trouble using Define 2, with Affinity Photo crashing after adding control points. I have tried using as a stand alone but Define will not open Tiff files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
