DXO adds full Affinity compatibility to the Nik Collection
Just a quick PSA as you may have missed this - but DxO has added full compatibility between Nik Collection 8 and the latest version of Affinity, allowing Affinity users to integrate Nik’s editing tools directly into their existing workflow. This update enables photographers and creators to use the Nik plugins inside Affinity without relying on additional host applications.
Once Nik Collection 8 is installed, Affinity users working in Pixel mode can access the full suite by navigating to Pixels → Filters → Plugins → Nik Collection. From there, each individual plugin can be launched as needed. This provides direct access to tools such as Color Efex, Silver Efex, Sharpener Pro and the rest of the Nik Collection lineup from within Affinity.
From the press release:
This new integration gives photographers and creators a smoother, more flexible editing experience — combining the powerful imaging capabilities of Affinity with DxO’s class-leading creative controls. Whether it’s color grading with Nik Color Efex, black-and-white artistry with Nik Silver Efex, or precision sharpening with Nik Sharpener Pro, Nik Collection is now more convenient than ever.
If you don’t already have the NIK collection, there is a trial version available and new customers can get an additional discount with the code ThomasFitzgerald15. Visit the DXO Store now for more details on the software.
