DxO has revived the software, updating it for 64-bit operating systems and offering other improvements. Many photographers use DXO Nik Collection mainly to enhance details or structure. The Nik Collection is an iconic name in photo editing. Analog, Color, HDR and Silver Efex, and Sharpeners show standard size controls, but Dfine and Viveza 2.0 do not). Nik Collection from DXO is often thought of as a set of plugins that you occasionally use to enhance your images. The plugins are divided into collections titled Silver Efex Pro, Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Dfine, HDR Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro, Viveza, and Perspective Efex, all of which can be used to create specific effects with speed and ease. But DxO is of course also a specific case.ĮDIT2: I tested this now and most of the plugins in the DxO package work now ok also with Photo, but not all (e.g. Nik Collection consists of 8 plugin packages that can be used in Photoshop, Lightroom, and DxO PhotoLab. I have PhotoLab 4 and it can use Google version of Nik Collection plugins without problems in high-res environment so it is clear that correct behavior is not a "Photoshop-only" feature. Affinity apps are not the only one experiencing this problem, I noticed that Corel PhotoPAINT (2017 version) has the same problem.ĮDIT: There might be point in trying out if DxO versions behave differently.

The problem is clearly related to integration to the hosting app as all Google version plugins work as independent. To use the Nik Collection standalone, you must use the Nik application files. There is an app called SwitchResX (commercial) that seems to be able to apply app-specific resolution + app scaling settings but it is a kind of a hack and therefore not available from App Store, and it is unclear whether it would work as expected in plug-in environment (even if the hosting app like Photo would be forced to operate in lower resolution).
