if you donвЂ™t want to pay them a reasonable amount for their intellectual property, thatвЂ™s your decision.

DXO picked up the slack by purchasing it and supporting it. It only became free when Google decided to abandon it. The Nik collection originally cost $250 or more when Google first owned it. And by the way, the Nik Collection is on sale right now for $100 USD. Well the solution is easy, youвЂ™ll just need to get used to not having access to the Nik Collection. So, fundamentally, the free version you had of the Nik collection no longer works with Affinity, correct? And, assuming the new DXO Nik collection version 2 does work with Affinity, you want DXO to drop the price of the product by half for you, because it happens to cost more than Affinity does. Without Affinity 1.7 backward compatibility for Nik 1.2.1, DXO will not get a dime from me going forward. Is it even possible that Serif and DXO can work this out to the benefit of their customers and their own bottom line ? Courtesy to the trade counts. But why would that affect Nik only and generate a ridiculously weird alert ' Updating FontsвЂ¦' that hangs Affinity Photo forever until you force quit and crash out of it, losing your work ? IвЂ™m no coder, but I know bizarre behavior when I see itвЂ¦

I fully realize a lot of this is also due to AppleвЂ™s software develpment kits, the use of Xcode10. Everything from everyone else still works. It is only the Nik 1.2.1 plugins are disrupted by their host applications. Again, I have not even opened Adobe Photoshop CS 5 in over a year. I am using El Capitan on one Mac ( canвЂ™t go any further ) and Sierra on the other.

All these apps work as far back as Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks. Affinity Photo was already there as far as Mojave. Graphic COnverter was updated to work in MacOS Mojave 10.14. I note that Adobe Photoshop and the entire CS 6 suite still work in Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra.

unless you are willing to work across the Channel with your counterparts at Serif in the UK to fully resolve the weird incompatibility.

IF DXO would like to sell me Nik for $ 50, IвЂ™ll do that, but I will NOT pay 3 X the cost of Affinity Photo just to add plugins I already have and use ( and cost nothing at the time ).

I have not even opened Photoshop CS 5 in over a year.ДЇundamentally and philosophically, I will not pay the introductory $ 100 or the full $ 150 to DXO to acquire version 2 of Nik. Without Nik, my Affinity Photo is now paraplegic. Not many people knew that was even possible. Thankfully Nik still works in Thorston LemkeвЂ™s well supported very versatile GraphicConverter ( Mac only app). Losing Nik functionality in Aff Photo is a huge loss for me. 1.7 ) has orphaned my Nik 1.2.1 pluginsвЂ¦ the pre DXO bundle that has served me well for years in Photoshop CS5 ( no longer used ) the excellent underrated Graphic Converter and Affinity Photo.
