dlwimages Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Can't wait to be able to use my Nik Collection in AP. To date, I've had no luck. I hope these issues are resolved quickly. I use the collection often in PS so need to stay with PS till I can get the Nik Collection to work with AP. I sense a strong momentum toward making these plugins work with AP.

Staff MEB Posted January 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hi Madame, dlwimages, This is an old thread. There was forums changes (sections/organisation) after it has been created. Those links point to archived/moved threads. To install plug-ins: 1. Go to menu Affinity Photo ▸ Preferences..., Photoshop Plug-ins section then in the Plug-in Search Folders on the right, click Add and browse to the folders where you have the .plugin files installed. If you have Photoshop installed you can simply point it to Photoshop plug-ins folder, usually /Applications/Adobe Photoshop version/Plug-ins 2. In the Plug-In Support Folders below click the Authorise Global button, then click Authorise again in the dialog that will appear. Finally check Allow "Unknown" plugins to be used still in the same panel on the bottom left. You must then restart Affinity Photo. Note that not all plug-ins may work correctly. Photoshop plug-in support is still being worked/developed.

Staff MEB Posted January 8, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi Madame, It's not your config. ON1 Effects, Enhance and Portrait 10 are not recognised by Affinity Photo. Regarding Nik Collection: Working correctly: Analog Efex Pro 2 Color Efex Pro 4 Silver Efex Pro 2 Partially working: HDR Efex Pro 2 - it's only possible to work with a single image at once. There’s no interface to access the Image Selection Dialog like in in Photoshop or the Nik Selective Tool to load an image set. Not working: Dfine 2 Viveza 2 Sharpener Pro 3: (1) RAW Presharpener Sharpener Pro 3: (2) Output Sharpener Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference | Call for Camera Images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonclivehughes Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 My workflow depends entirely upon the Nik collection. When can we expect to have the remaining apps working within Affinity?: Dfine 2 Viveza 2 Sharpener Pro 3: (1) RAW Presharpener Sharpener Pro 3: (2) Output Sharpener It's been months since I purchased Affinity, but I can't begin to use it until it can fully support my workflow. How about a proper answer??? Quote Simon C.

Asha Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hi Simon--it is a 2-way street, so it would be helpful if you also submit a request to Nik that they support Affinity Photo. If more people request, I think they will pay attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 7, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hello edwardsson, simonclivehughes, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) We are still working on Photoshop plug-in support. This is not a trivial task since there's some Mac App Store restrictions in place, Affinity has to support some specific API calls/features for certain plug-ins to work and as Asha mentioned, having direct support from plug-ins developers also takes some time. Hopefully things will improve as we move forward. I don't know yet more details/timeframes for the remaining Nik plug-ins, sorry.

Understood that supporting PS plug-ins is ongoing, but since you already support some of the Nik collection, I would assume your quoted App Store and API issues are moot in this case? Quote Simon C.

Staff MEB Posted February 7, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 7, 2016 Not necessarily. Plug-in requirements can vary even inside the same set/collection.

simonclivehughes Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Disappointing... I guess Affinity goes 'back on the shelf' indefinitely for me. Quote Simon C.

Staff MEB Posted February 7, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hi Simon, We are well aware of how much Affinity users need/request Photoshop plug-ins support and we are working towards a proper solution. Don't give up on us yet. We will get there...

Travelling Man Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I have a lot of money and time invested in my plugins. As I cannot use these with AP I have to keep jumping back into PS. Given that and PS' better integration with LR I fear I might also be leaving AP on the shelf until it is ready for my sort of prime time. I do need plugin support and I do need full integration with a DAM. It is a shame for AP is a great bit go kit. I will keep trying but.........

simonclivehughes Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Update: I received the following back this morning from Nik:"I appreciate you taking the time to send in your feedback. We have received a compatibility request for Affinity Photo from several of our users. As we do value the feedback we receive from our photographers, I will be sure to provide it to the appropriate team for their review and consideration for future compatibility updates."

In software house parlance that means don't hold your breath. That is a simple stock answer. I know, I'm a cynic :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
