However, on the plus side you can now name Control Points and Control Point Groups you can assign name to the Control Points and Control Point Groups and you can save the Control Points in presets you create. The changes to the interface in Silver Efex Pro and Viveza handling of Control Points means you have the old way in all other apps in Nik Collection and a new way in Silver Efex Pro and Viveza. Especially being able to call Viveza 3 from Affinity Photo and save it back to Affinity Photo without the app crashing is a big plus. While I think the changes implemented are good. That is a situation I don't have because you can't save the settings when calling from Affinity Photo. That only affects you if you have been using it from one of those apps and expecting to go back and edit those settings. But, Nik 4 will not read the settings from the Nik 3 saved item. Now the reason he did that is because when you use Nik from PhotoShop, PhotoLab, or run it standalone you have the option to save the settings which allows you to work non-destructively. I did read one posting on the DxO forum where an individual was able to install Nik 3 after they did the Nik 4 install and was successfully running them side by side. However, all presets and recipes are retained. The install procedure for Nik 4 uninstalls Nik 3 completely and you do not have the option to keep it in place. Like I said, my experience has been good so far. So, you may want to visit that forum and read over some of the experiences people seem to be experiencing. However, be aware that on the DxO forum ( ) the postings are mixed for both Windows and MacOS. James, I am running it on Mac mini M1 (2020) macOS Big Sur 11.4 and using it from Affinity Photo and have not had any problems after I got it installed. If it had the forethought, elegance, and speed that went into designer and photo, an “Affinity Motion” offering would be easily be industry upset.Did you have to delete Nik 3 first? Or did it just override?ĭid it maintain any preferences or settings? Many Affinity users who also happen to be motion designers are nearly pleading with the folks over at Serif to develop a motion graphics application. You can follow along with the trials and tribulations of his switch from Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to Affinity Designer. It’s not very hard to find people who are switching, and documenting their switch as it happens,Ĭomic Writer, Artist and founder of Bob Byrne is one such example. I’ve come across people switching from Adobe products to the Serif ones, more and more it seems. This means that you can be confident the file compatibility between both platforms will always be 100%. The beta version includes some big new features which are included in Photo 1.5 which will be released next month. Both the mac and windows versions share the same back-end. The Affinity apps have always been way faster than the larger competitors that are out there. Photo matches the MacOS version feature to feature. You can download a beta version for free during the beta period. The Windows version of Affinity Photo isn’t a complete release. Visit Affinity Windows Beta for more information.
