dke Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Strange behaviour pefunk. For me every setting below 100% gives wrong colors in Viveza. Regards, dke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why this is considered a profile problem. As suggested elsewhere, if you zoom in the image in Viveza to at least 33%, the colors appear correct. If the profile were wrong, would it do that? It strikes me as a memory problem or something similar. Since I still see this problem in RC2, I assume it won't be fixed in this release. As I said, this does not appear to be a profile issue since zooming in to at least 33% fixes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works within Adobe Photoshop, lightroom, Adobe elements and by image export from Nikon capture NX-D. Also, once a Tiff is exported from Affinity and loaded into vivenza it works w/o issues. I've good trust Affinity will solve it if DxO is willing to support. Both can benefit from it. There are more (general) Photoshop plug-in that suddenly might start working if this issue is solved. If the plug-ins really start working, Adobe might get an issue, because this currently holds a lot of Adobe users to Adobe. Second part is the color card checker support. But this is another topic on the wish list. "x rite colorchecker" (lightroom plugin) laurentia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migla9 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I do trust that they're working on it with DxO. I only meant that RC2 is late in the development cycle for a solution to appear in this release. Even if they work out the fix, it needs to be carefully integrated and tested so as not to break any other plugins. That's a change that developers are reluctant to change in a release candidate.

On this screencopy, the zoom at 50% remains the same as what I showed above and the zoom to 100% gives what you see there! I do not think it's good ... I also trust that Affinity will find the solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the moment they included some Basic dxo tool in the package. As long Vivenza is not working within Affinity, this additional tool might be very attractive, and puts user / new customer decisions for Affinity at risk. Would be a pitty, because Affinity is a great tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local adjustments with control points and counter-control points are much easier achieved than with layers and masks. So I hope the colour issue will soon be solved not only for the nik collection sold by DxO, but also for the Google version. I like AP a lot and would be glad to be able to abandon CS5 completely.

rudyumans Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 All my Nik modules, incl Viveza, work fine now in 1.7.2.414 beta on my windows 10 computer. Thank you for fixing this. Hopefully it didn't take too much persuasive powers to convince DxO p.s. I can live without NIK, but since I have it, it is nice it works and despite all the power packed into AP, it does come in handy from time to time.

Hi, Unfortunately! There is no change. In the Nik suite, only Color Efex 4 and Analog Efex 2 work well. I presume you only work in sRGB ...

Tiff files are still the same as before. so, the color profile doesn't seem to be the problem, but the file type is and that is only in Viveza. I tried and as far as I can tell, no problems in any of the other modules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentia Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 I tested with afphoto and tiff files. Jpeg is 8bits, I did not have time to test other bit depths. I have to do it ... I now remember having tested a few years ago Paintshop Photo X6 which presented different renderings of the same image in 8 and 16 bits!

rudyumans Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 didn't test in in the different bit depths, but you have a point. my tiffs are 16bit . I will try later. PSP X6 wasn't optimized for 16bit.

rudyumans Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I just converted a TIFF file from 16 bit to 8 bit and still the same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentia Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 In addition, DFine and Sharpener Pro have the same problem, not only Viveza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudyumans Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I don't see that problem in DFine and Sharpener Pro (output) I don't need those very often, but if I do, I prefer Topaz for those functions anyway RAW conversion is still done in Photolab 2 Elite and Photolab is hard to beat for noise and sharpening. No matter how much I love Affinity (and I do a lot), Photolab and Capture one are still the best for RAW conversion in my opinion. Their output quality is still unequaled (and output quality is all that matters for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be only a display problem in Sharpener Pro (and Define I assume). When the job is done in Sharpener and you go back in AP colors are fine.

WMax70 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Great News: I just updated my DXO Nik Tools to version 2.3 (patch update to 2.04) I have to say that I tested it with a D750 Image and it seems to work now! (Take care to work with sRGB, otherwise you still have some color issues, bit al least they are much closer and you now see what is happening) So it is great news to share! Finally we are getting there ... I also will test with my D850 images some later to see if it also works with the d850 images. Also see the bug fix notes from DXO.

migla9 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Well, that's nice, but does not help me. I have the pre-Google NIK collection that I bought before it was free from Google. Affinity Photo 1.7.3481 still does not work with Viveza, although some other modules work. I would have to buy a new DXO NIK for $150 which I am not likely to do to work around a bug in AP. For me, it does work if I zoom in to 33% or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentia Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Hi. I had not looked for lack of time yet, but I confirm that since the update of the suite Nik by DxO 2.3, the call of Viveza 2 since Affinity Photo beta 486 works perfectly with a zoom factor of 20% and 100% at home. I specify that I use a color workspace 4 times larger than the sRGB. Mark Ingram 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomherren Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I am not going to buy the DxO Nik Collection. I have the Google version I paid USD 150.00 for in 2012, and I think it is outrageous to ask € 150.00 again for some slight developement. I see it clearly in Serif's field to make Affinity Photo and former Nik Collections fully compatible. When launched within Photoshop CS5 or even from the old Capture NX2 (which converts to TIFF) the Nik Plugins work perfectly well. I like Affinity Photo a lot, but not being able to use Nik plugins is a nuisance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
