OldHickory30 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Will Nik plugins work with AP? I tried to use the plugin feature, within AP but doesn't seem to recognize it. Also, I'm using version 1.5 Beta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 18, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi OldHickory30, They are working better than in previous Mac App Store 1.4.3. Can you attach a screenshot of the Photoshop Plugins dialog (in Preferences) so i can see how you have set it up? Also, where did you have installed the plug-ins?

Staff MEB Posted October 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2016 The problem is in the Photoshop Plugins configuration in Preferences. When you installed the Nik collection, the installer should have asked you where to install the plug-in files. Which folder did you select? If you didn't specify one, you should have a folder called Google inside your Applications folder. This Google folder contains folders for each plugin with some .plugin and .config files inside them. Can you check if there's one Google folder inside your Applications folder please?

OldHickory30 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 There isn't a google folder just a NIK folder within applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2016 That's where the Nik Collection places the stand alone apps, not the plug-ins. That's why i was asking you where you have installed them... that's the folder we must point Affinity to. Try do do a search for HDR Efex Pro 2.plugin on your system. You should find the correct path. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldHickory30 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Ok, I located the Google folder it was under the PS plugin folder. Here is how it appears now. I'm guessing something is sill wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2016 Ok, now on the bottom right section, in Plug-in Support Folders, remove that line and press the Authorise Global button below then Authorise again from the dialog that will open. Close the Preferences and restart Affinity Photo. It should now work correctly. Also in the top right section, in Plugin Search Folders you can remove the Google part from the path if you want, like this: This way you can access other third-party (compatible) plug-ins you may have installed in the Photoshop plugins folder.

OldHickory30 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Every think works fine now, except color Efex Pro 4, is still throwing the error message "requiring global support." I'm guessing that filter still isn't compatible, which is fine since I never use it, just an FYI. Otherwise thanks for all your help!!

Staff MEB Posted October 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2016 Color Efex Pro 4 is also compatible with Affinity Photo. Did you press the Authorise Global button then Authorise again as i suggested in post #10?

OldHickory30 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 I did....still generates the error. Nik is also giving m ethe "Buy or Demo" mode everytime I restart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2016 Can you please attach your Photoshop Plugins configuration (in Preferences) again? Neither of those things should be happening...

OldHickory30 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Ok....I reinstalled the plugins based on your instructions, all plugins work perfect with no errors, including the buy or demo error. I think I didn't follow your exact sequence the first time. Sometimes I just don't follow instructions. :) Thanks for hanging in there with me. I really like AP 1.5! Hopefully, the final edition will come out soon! MJSfoto1956 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of those things should be happening... I guess spoke too soon....Everything with Nix works fine, however, after applying the changes in Nix, the dialogue box closes, but the changes have not been applied in AP? Suggestions?

OldHickory30 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Still having issues with AP 1.5 Beta, the changes aren't keep the changes made with Nik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldHickory30 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 I reinstalled it and the change still will not take affect in AP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 21, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi OldHickory30, Sorry the delay getting back to you. I didn't work yesterday. Your configuration is correct. Can you tell me which plugin isn't applying the changes to the image? Are you sure you have the correct layer selected in the Layers panel and not an adjustment, mask or something else? Note that Photoshop Plugins support is still being worked on, there still issues with some plug-ins.

OldHickory30 Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Sorry for the delay on my end, thought the problem was resolved however still unable to save the NIK filters to AP. Basically I make the changes close NIK and there is no affect to the original image. I'm running 1.5 (R!) also I tried 1.4 with no success either. Suggestions?
