Installing Nik Collection 4

[Patrick Idiart]

I have Nik Collection 4 which I had i stalled and was successfully using in Affinity Photo. I have recently purchased Affinity Photo v2 and have had nothing but problems trying to install Nik Collection. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Does it work if you rasterise the layer? (i.e. have you bought it over from Develop as a RAW layer rather than a pixel layer?)

It's hard to be sure, with a screenshot taken by a camera rather than the OS, but those do look like RAW layers to me, not pixel layers.

Note, in my screenshot, that the top layer is a Rasterized (pixel) version of the RAW layer below it. There's a symbol to the left of the thumbnail for the pixel layer, and none on the RAW layer.

I have Nik 4 working well on V1. I used the Edit > Preerences > Photoshop Plugins to tell V2 where my Nik plugins were. On rebooting, only HDR pro, the two Sharpeners, Siver Efex and Viveza appeared in the Filters > Plugins > Nik Collection menu. No sign of Analog Efex or Color Efex (not even greyed). The plugins that appear do seem to work OK.

I had the same problem a while ago. I emailed DxO. From memory, which could be better, for some daft reason when DxO send the files they are not all in the same place. Have a dig about in Windows Explorer. If I remember the missing apps were in a folder called 'bin'

I found the plugins OK when telling AP where to find them. They just did not show up in the Filters menu.
