However, this doesn’t mean that you cannot get Nik Collections to work with Affinity Photo with a little workaround. ![]() But Affinity Photo wasn’t around when Nik Collections was actively developed and updated, so it doesn’t recognize Affinity straight away in the installation process. The Nik Collection plugins were mainly developed to use with applications like Photoshop and Lightroom, and other photo editing software. If you are using Nik Collection Plugins, you might wonder whether you can get them to work in Affinity Photo, or you also need to find alternatives to them too. However, the transition is easier than you think and well worth it. Switching from Photoshop to Affinity Photo can be a little daunting experience when you first think of it.

There doesn’t seem any way to move presets between the Imported and Custom panels, but that hardly matters since they work in the same way wherever they’re stored. Imported presets are all displayed in the Imported panel. Now just locate the folder where the presets are stored, select them all (they have an ‘.np’ file extension on my Mac) and click the Open button. It’s at the top of the sidebar here, but that’s because the panel is expanded ready to receive the imported presets – normally, the Imported panel is collapsed and at the bottom of the sidebar.

When you press this button, Analog Efex Pro prompts you to choose a location on your computer to save the presets to. To export my presets for sharing with other people, I need to press the Export All button (circled) at the bottom of the custom presets panel. The main window shows the ‘Cyanotype’ preset applied to a still life image. You use custom presets just as you use those that come built in – they’re simply stored in a separate panel. Here are eight custom presets I’ve created while I’ve been writing this series, displayed in the Custom panel in the left sidebar. In this part I’m going to show how to save presets you’ve created as external files you can share with other people – and how to import presets sent to you by others by downloading the free Analog Efex Pro presets I’ve created to go with this mini-series.
