I have sent an email to the developer of the extension to ask for a feature he might add to the extension: Inside the external app, you can edit and export as TIFF if app provides that function and bring it back to this extension but once you hit done in the extension, it will generate a JPEG to send to Photos app (ghastly limitation put in by Apple from the get go) 1$ seemed fair for the features the app unlocks inside Photos app… I can confirm that the extension can send the RAW file to an editing app or you have a choice to turn the file to TIFF before sending to the external app…. Under the “more” menu (the three dots), select External Editors.

Once you've installed both, open Photos, select an image to edit and go into the Edit mode (hit return, or click the Edit button). Not directly… but through the amazing Photos.app extension External Editors for Photos, you can!ĭownload External Editors for Photos, and if you don't have it already, download and install Google Nik Collection for free. Sadly most of us assume the this means it will no longer be developed, but in the meantime, it still works perfectly well and is, without question, a world-class set of tools.īut did you know you can use it with Photos for OS X? Skip forward several years, and the entire Nik collection is now free. Since it was Nik Software, before it was acquired by Google, many of us gladly paid hundreds of dollars for the tools. Did you know that you can use your beloved Google Nik Collection in Photos? It's true… you only need one 99¢ add-on to do it!
