Installing Affinity Designer: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking for a way to install Affinity Designer on your device? If so, then you are in the right place! In this article, we will take you through a step-by-step guide on how to install Affinity Designer and get started with it.

First, let's start by clicking the Add button in the Finder dialog. Once you do that, click Authorize and then close the preferences dialog.

Next, go to the Plugin Support Folders area and authorize the plugins detected by Affinity Photo. Some of these plugins may require Global Support, but don't worry, we'll get to that later.

Now, restart your device and open Affinity Photo again. You will be prompted to restart again once the plugins have reloaded.

Once you're back in Affinity Photo, go to the left panel for Detected Plugins and look for the Nik Collection plugins. These plugins are compatible with Affinity Designer and can help you enhance your photos.

To install the Nik Collection plugins, follow these steps:

1. Open the preferences dialog in Affinity Photo by pressing ⌘ +.

2. Go to the Plugin Search Folders area and click on the Add button.

3. Select the folder that contains the Nik Collection plugins.

4. Click on the plus sign and select the Affinity folder we created earlier.

Once you've done that, open the Nik Collection disk image and start installing it. The installer will guide you through the process of installing the plugins compatible with Affinity Photo.

Finally, create a folder named Affinity in the /Applications/ folder on your Mac. This is where we'll install the plugins compatible with Affinity Designer.

With these steps, you should be able to successfully install Affinity Designer and start using it to enhance your photos.
