Installing Nik Plugins (macOS) Installing Nik Plugins (Windows) Not exactly seamless. I don’t use them much in Affinity but I didn’t encounter any problem until now. & Yes, I have raised it with Nik but so far… although they have received my request for support on the matter nothing else has transpired. I have installed the Nik Collection (DxO version) in Affinity Photo (Windows) and they are working as expected. If any one know's what I'm doing wrong or can give me some help or advice please let me know. ~ I follow this pathway > Settings >Photoshop Plugins > I add the Folder (where I have stored the Nike collection) to the Plugin Search Folders box > I have the same Folder showing in the Plugin Support Folders Box > I Click on Close > A pop up box allows me to restart the program > I click Restart > when it reopens > I open up the same image That I was working on >Go to Filters > Plugins > &…There's Nothing There! I've tried it so so many times and used several variations but still I cannot get any of the Nik Collection to show up in the Filters > Plugins menu ~ However… since deciding yes to the update I have been unable to install the new version of Nik Collection and have in fact lost the ability to use any of the Nik software. However, the path where the plugin for the beta is installed is wrong: C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEAppDataRoamingAffinityPhoto1. The installer automatically detects Affinity Photo as well as Affinity Photo beta. I decided to install it & because a similar alert had happened before when selecting 'Silver Efex Pro 3' from the drop down and so couldn't see a problem. Just an update on the installation procedure for Neat Image 8. However, when I selected it from the Filters drop down I was alerted that there was a New Version/update & asked did I want to update now? Yes. There was no problems with it until… I was working on an image and I wanted to use the Nik's ~ "Sharpener Pro 3 Raw Presharpening" on it. This kind of workflow would allow users to edit from different apps in TIFF format and only turn the final image to compressed JPEG.I already had the 'Nik Collection' installed on my Mac and I am using Affinity Photo2. Es öffnet sich nun der Installer der Google Nik Collection für Mac. Geh zu deinem Download Ordner und öffne die Datei nikcollection-full-1.2.11.dmg. The ability to edit photo from one app into another BEFORE sending the final export to Photos app.įor example, I select a photo in Photos app ( RAW) - I open it in the extension - I then select an app to edit with ( TIFF) from the list - once done editing, that app will send back an edited TIFF to the extension - at this point, it would be awesome to select another editing app from the list and the extension could send the edited TIFF form previous app to the newly selected app - once user is satisfied with the edits chained from app to app, they simply hit the save (done) button in the extension and commit to sending the JPEG to Photos app…. Nachdem Du den Ordner erstellt hast, kannst Du die Nik Plugins in Affinity Photo installieren. I have sent an email to the developer of the extension to ask for a feature he might add to the extension: Inside the external app, you can edit and export as TIFF if app provides that function and bring it back to this extension but once you hit done in the extension, it will generate a JPEG to send to Photos app (ghastly limitation put in by Apple from the get go) 1$ seemed fair for the features the app unlocks inside Photos app… I can confirm that the extension can send the RAW file to an editing app or you have a choice to turn the file to TIFF before sending to the external app…. Under the “more” menu (the three dots), select External Editors. Once you've installed both, open Photos, select an image to edit and go into the Edit mode (hit return, or click the Edit button). Not directly… but through the amazing Photos.app extension External Editors for Photos, you can!ĭownload External Editors for Photos, and if you don't have it already, download and install Google Nik Collection for free. Plugins are programs developed by third parties that integrate with Affinity Photo and add new functionalities to your editor. Use the + button to add a program that is not automatically detected or that requires a special installation of plugins (see the paragraph on installing in Affinity Photo below).
Sadly most of us assume the this means it will no longer be developed, but in the meantime, it still works perfectly well and is, without question, a world-class set of tools.īut did you know you can use it with Photos for OS X? Skip forward several years, and the entire Nik collection is now free.
Since it was Nik Software, before it was acquired by Google, many of us gladly paid hundreds of dollars for the tools. Did you know that you can use your beloved Google Nik Collection in Photos? It's true… you only need one 99¢ add-on to do it!
