  • Strange behavior after using NIK plug-ins

    Every once in a while I encounter this strange behavior of Aperture. I first process the NEF's in Aperture (white balance, Exposure, Enhance... and, when needed, Cropping) and then I fine tune the image with the NIK plug-ins; when needed DfIne 2.0, Viveza, Color Efex Pro 3.0 and Sharpener Pro 3.0 Output Sharpener.
    If I look at the processed picture then, I get a perfect presentation of the photo;
    !http://users.skynet.be/fc419085/Aperture-1.jpg!
    But when I press Z to zoom into a 100% preview I get this;
    !http://users.skynet.be/fc419085/Aperture-2.jpg!
    When I select the Loup in the normal view mode I get this;
    !http://users.skynet.be/fc419085/Aperture-3.jpg!
    This doesn't happen with all my pictures, yesterday I processed a series of 8 pictures an 6 of them showed this behavior the other two acted normal and I can't see what I did differently whit these last two.
    When I export the strangely behaving photo's to a Tiff or a Jpeg, I get perfectly normal pictures.
    The original NEF behaves normal. I have seen this behavior with NEF's from a Nikon D200, D2x and a D300. I have Aperture 2.1.2 running on a 2.33 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.6
    Does anybody know what's happening and if so, how to solve this problem?
    Cheers,
    Ivan

    I did some testing and what I found is too weird to be true.
    First this mashed up look doesn't only happen after using NIK plug-ins, it also happens when making a roundtrip to Photoshop, given that certain conditions are met.
    Give it a try yourself. Crop an image to an uneven pixelcount dimension, for example 4227 x 2797 and make a roundtrip to Photoshop. Then have a 100% view look at the new image in Aperture. You'll have a mashed up view, at least I do.
    Now crop the same original image to an even pixelcount dimension, for example 4228 x 2798 and make an roundtrip to Photoshop once more. When you have a 100% view of the new image now, you'll see a perfectly normal photo.
    Do you think Aperture developers are reading this forum?

  • Integrating Nik plug-ins into an Aperture workflow

    Hi. In his response to a [posted question|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2746051&tstart=0] about noise reduction, forum guru William Lloyd spoke highly of the Nik plug-ins.
    I also like them alot, but have stopped using them and don't recommend them because they do not integrate into my Aperture workflow in any usable way. The suite of plug-ins (there are six, iirc) are designed to be used step-wise -- and therein lies the problem. Because of what I take to be a glitch in Aperture, any changes made within Aperture to an image edited and returned by a plug-in are lost when that image is sent back out to another plug-in. (The work-around is klugly: you have to create a new Version prior to every use of a plug-in other than the first use.)
    I love the Nik tools (and paid dear for them), but haven't been able to find the right place for them on my workbench. William -- or anyone -- how have you integrated the Nik plug-ins into your Aperture workflow?
    I am considering "upgrading" my Nik suite to the Photoshop edition in order to take advantage of all the tools. I'm pretty sure used w. Photoshop, the tools create editable layers. The upgrade, however, doubles the already expensive cost of the suite (and the Aperture→Photoshop→Nik→Photoshop→Nik→Photoshop→Nik→Photoshop→Aperture trip is sure to be cumbersome).
    My goal is simple: to be able to take full advantage of the Nik tools while taking full advantage of Aperture. Any advice greatly appreciated.
    TIA, and cheers.

  • Why do I see "Blocked Plug-Ins" when I try to play a video - this is generally on the BBC News website.  I haven't tried elsewhere.

    Why do I see "Blocked Plug-Ins" when I try to play a video - this is generally on the BBC News website.  I haven't tried elsewhere.
    I have an old Mac 2009.

    Hello alymarvellous,
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides information about the plug-in alert that you’re seeing when browsing specific websites on your iMac.
    Safari 8 (Yosemite): Safari troubleshooting
    Problems with plug-ins
    If a webpage has trouble showing plug-in content such as video, you may see a placeholder with a button that describes a plug-in problem. For example, the plug-in might be old, missing, or blocked.
    Try clicking the placeholder button to resolve the problem.
    For more information, see If a plug-in is missing and If a website has plug-in content.

  • With Ap3 do we still need Nik Plug-ins

    I bought the Nik plug-ins mainly for noise reduction, viveza and selective sharpening. It seems like with brushes these plug-ins are now unnecessary and still will result in large tiff files once 64-bit compatible.
    Am I missing anything here?

    I think they are "less necessary," but I don't think they are unnecessary. Certainly Silver FX and Color FX offer things you can't get directly within Aperture. The Nik sharpening is very good; probably better for output sharpening than what's built in to Aperture but it depends on what you are doing - if you're printing for sales and very critical you may still need it.
    I rarely used the Nik noise reduction plug-in because I didn't want to convert my files to TIFF early in the workflow.

    I have East west plug-ins and I have PLAY updated! but still Logic can not see These plug-ins! (play) can anyone tell me why?

    Hi
    You may need to run Logic in 32bit mode to get the AudioUnit Manager to scan the new plugins?

  • Why are frame sizes increasing after editing with Nik plug-ins?

    I’m using the Nik Collection of plug-ins with Aperture, and have discovered that the frame size of the resulting edits always end up larger than the original - sometimes much larger.
    The original image starts as 4592 x 3448 but after editing, the longest side of the resulting image is typically over 5000, 6000 or even 7000 pixels. 
    I recently worked on a cropped image that started at 4138 x 2759 and ended up at 7361 x 4908, after editing with a combination of Dfine, Viveza, Color Efex + Silver Efex.  If I export a version during the editing process, and then carry out futher editing, the frame size increases again.
    I’m exporting from Aperture using the TIFF - Original Size (16 bit) setting. 
    Can anyone tell me what’s going on here?  I’m concerned that the quality of the images is being compromised by the enlargement. 
    I'm using the latest set of Nik plug-ins, with Aperture 3.2.4 on a MBP running 10.6.8

    Keli
    In order to open Aperture in 32-bit mode by default you can right-click on the application icon, select "Get Info" and check the box marked "Open In 32-bit Mode" (or you can continue to run it by default in 64-bit mode and just get forced to re-open the app anytime you need to use plug-ins that can only run in 32-bit mode).
    hope this helps!

  • Nik PLug-ins with Aperture

    Greetings, This is for anyone using Nik Software plug-ins with Aperture. Is there a way to back out of adjustments once you've saved your work in the Nik editor? When using with Photoshop, the Nik adjustment will create a "layer". Deselecting the layer will allow you to essentially remove the adjustment. I don't see any way of doing that in Aperture. Am I missing it, or are you basically down the road with the adjustment once you make it?
    Thanks.

    Once you save in NIK, the adjustments are "baked in." There's no way to go back and remove them. What NIK does is save the TIFF file that Aperture creates and hands over to it, with the NIK adjustments. This won't affect the original RAW file.
    You could always go back and send that same TIFF file to NIK an indefinite number of times. It wouldn't really be "non-destructive" but you can re-do or tweak any adjustments you want to tweak.

  • Cannot find the plug-ins folder for photoshop elements 6

    Hi,
    I was trying to update the plug-in for camera raw for PE6, downloaded the update however in the instructions it tells me to go to the root folder in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats and replace the camera raw plug in.
    there is no plug-ins folder in the library/application support/adobe folder. Is there somewhere else I should be looking ?
    I am running a Mac with yosemite.
    thanks in advance,

    You are probably in the wrong library. You have three libraries on your mac: your username>library, system>library (never mess with that one), and the library at the top level of your hard drive, which is the one you want. It's not exactly hidden, but it's very hard to get to. The easiest way is to go to the Finder preferences>sidebar>show these items in the sidebar,  and turn on Hard disks. Then when you open a new finder window, you will see your hard drive in the list on the left side of the window. Click it and the library will be at the top level of results on the right side of the window.

  • Why do external editors i.e. nik plug-ins disappear from the Edit in menu?

    Time and time again , after creating external editors in the Edit in menu,  they disappear.  I've had this happen in LR3 and now in LR4.  Does anyone know of this?

    Corky, I just tried the path you suggested. I moved the files up one level from LIbrary>Application Assistants>Aperture>Plug Ins>Edit to the Plug Ins folder. It worked.
    I can now start the NIK plugins either from the pull-down meny under photo in the Menu Bar, or by right-clicking my mouse.
    A slight change of subject. I've got the 200-page book, Exploring Aperture. Also have the downloaded .pdf  file of the same book. How is it that, on the Apple Support webpage, they have a .pdf book for Aperture 3.4 that is 800-pages? Did anyone else notice that?
    Good to hear you got it working.
    The 'Exploring Aperture' is the book that came with Aperture 3 in the retail box (in downloadable form). It goes along with the Sample library that was on the install disc and was designed to walk new users through the basics of the program.
    The 800+ page PDF is the actual user's manual which describes all aspects of Aperture 3.4 in detail (although there may be some omissions here and there due to updates since 3.4). I read the original version of the user's manual when it was Aperture 3.0 and it is very informative (especially if you like that kind of reading - which I do).
    If you do read through and understand the user's manual PDF, then you will know the program well. You can use the Exploring Aperture book but there will be references to the sample library which you won't have unless you have the retail install disc.
    Note - there are books you can buy, but none of them really cover Aperture 3.4.x (a couple were updated for Aperture 3.3, but some significant changes were made that - IMHO - don't make buying those books of more value than just reading the user's manual). It took me about a week of reading each evening to complete it.

  • HELP - my Nik plug-ins (and others) no longer work in LR CC

    I don't know what happened (they were there when I first started using CC), but now they are gone!  I uninstalled LR CC (Mac), reinstalled -- still no go Between the presets contextual menu wiped clean off the face of the earth, my plug-ins blown away, and the less than stellar HDR and pano -- I've just about had it with LR CC
    Here is a before & after screen grab of the contextual menu ("before" pic grabbed form LR 5.7, which still works as expected).

    You may have watched the same tutorial that I did - recommending that you store your presets with the catalog. Apparently a bad move.
    You must un-check the yellow highlighted box show below in order to see your "Edit In" choices.
