NIK Trial Version

[toadpoker]

Has anyone been able to get the trial version of the NIK plugins from dxo to work correctly with Affinity on the Mac? I can get it installed as per the videos but when I start a NIK plugin it loads the image but hangs and locks up Affinity.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Toadpoker,

Welcome to the forums

Are all of the plugins not working?

Thanks

nik collection by DXO won’t work with AP, you need the nik by Google. there’s already few threads regarding this plus one on DxO forum requesting the nik collection to work with AP and other software.

here’s a link for discussion

Doesn't sound promising but thanks for the info. Cheers

Most of the free google Nik plugins work, but with some quirks:

• You may need to rasterise first to remove any clipping.
• The plugin loads portrait images as landscapes. 
• The colours within Viveza are not accurate, although the output images are OK!
• Multiple image HDR does not work.

Add to that color space issues, you need to convert to 8-bit sRGB.
