This now shows the difference between the two layers. I changed the blending mode of this new layer to Difference. I loaded Viveza.png, copied the entire image and pasted it on top of Original.png to form a new layer. I saved this screengrab (as Viveza.png) and closed Viveza with. I then used the Snip tool again to capture the visible image as it appeared in the Viveza window. I saved this captured image and re-loaded it into Affinity Photo, then called up the Viveza plugin and viewed it at 100%. I chose a small enough region to fit into Viveza's window. Use the Windows Snip tool to make a screen capture (screengrab) of part of an image at 100%. The most up-to-date version of Viveza from DxO seems to have resolved this. Not a situation you would want in a plugin that is intended to modify and correct colours. The problems seemed to be that the colours seen in the plugin window were incorrect, although the colours returned after applying the plugin were correct. My message was to say that it now seems to work properly (although you may need to rasterize the image first). Various contributors to this thread have asserted (here and elsewhere) that, although most of the Nik plugins work with Affinity, Viveza has not done so. Sorry I don't understand what your saying As far as I know the intent of this first release was to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of Adobe Software and address a few minor issues. There's no significative changes between the Google and DxO versions as you discovered. This is the folder to where you will have to point Affinity Photo to (not the one that store the applications files that run the plugins as independent applications). Pay attention to the part that starts at 00:35s where it's explained that you must create a custom folder to install the plugin files used by the host application. Please check this video tutorial for instruction on how to install them properly: Installing Nik Plugins (Windows). If the plugins are not working for you there's probably some issue with the installation or configuration of the plugins. Please check the third point in DxO release notes here. The Viveza colours issue is a known issue that wasn't yet addressed by DxO. Nik Collection by DxO is working fine on Windows, both on the current retail version (which is 1.6.5.135 - please update your version) and in the 1.7 Beta. I don't think Nik plugins is on their roadmap and they will not really spend time fixing it. I only paid in the hope it was fixed as DXO say it supports Affinity or they may fix it in later releases but my thoughts are that DXO have ported the Nik code into their other products, fixed support for Adobe CC, got Affinity MAC users working and not really interested in anything else. I wish someone would own up to whose problem it is to fix the Viveza2 colour issue. So I feel that I just paid for the free version I already had. Note: I have the free version of Nik Collection and it's no different to what DXO are selling. I opened a ticket with DXO but they aren't interested so I'm none the wiser to say if this is a Affinity problem or DXO. This points to image size as my Canon S50 produces smaller JPEG images. NOTE - When I magnify view to 100% in Viveza2 colours are ok in main viewer but not in Navigator. With my Canon S50 - CRW affected but JPEG ok. Pictures from my Nikon D7000 all affected - NEF, JPEG. I ran some tests and this is what I found. I too bought the Dx0 Nik Plugins for £30 but I can confirm it doesn't work with Affinity Photo 1.6.5.123 or the 1.7 Beta.
