PSE 11 does not acknowledge Nik software - Silver Efex pro - as plug-ins

Hello:
I bought and downloaded PSE 11 and find that it will not acknowledge or reconize NIK software. I have PSE 8 and LR4 and have NIK software working on those programs. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Did you check with Nik to see if the version you have is compatible with pse 11?

Silver Efex Pro 2 Plug-In - where is it in PSE 11's Editor?

Having inserted the plug-in location in both the Organiser and the Editor I can find an option to open a file in Silver Efex Pro 2 from the Organiser. However when I've edited a file in the Editor and then perhaps want to convert it to B&W using SEP2, I can't see how to directly access it - and it seems very inefficient to have to save the file, go back to the editor to open it from there, especially as plug-in location is also shown in the Editor preferences.
Is there something I've done or not done?
Can anyone help please?

Hi
I am using Windows 7. Have looked in File>Automation Tools, but the only option there is 'Fit Image'.
If it helps, I have moved from PSE9 to PSE11 (the full programme not the upgrade, and have unistalled PSE9)

I have the latest Adobe flash player installed but it does not show up in my add-ons or plug-ins on Firefox 3.6. In the plug-in check, it recognizes that the shockwave flash is up to date. How can I have the plug-in appear and be enabled on firefox?

I have uninstalled the flash player and installed it numerous times with no recognition by the Firefox plug-ins. I also have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it as well. I have also restarted my computer several times as well. The flash player is certainly installed but not working on Firefox. Thanks in advance for your help.

James j,
You have a different problem. Your screenshot shows "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".

App Store does not acknowledge installed software

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could explain something to me.
When the Mac App store first launched, I was able to see if updates were available for software already installed on my MacBook Pro (iLife, iWork, Delicious Library 2, etc.). Even though these programs were installed from DVD's supplied with the computer (iLife, iWork), or downloaded from the developers web site (Delicious Library 2), the App Store would show these applications as "installed" on my computer, and would advise me if updates were available.
Now, for some reason, all of these programs are showing on the Mac App Store as available for purchase, even though I already have them installed! I can see the point if a new version of the software is released (iLife 11), but the other programs are the same versions currently available on the Store. The only updates that I am notified about are those relating to software purchased direct from the App Store itself
Has the App Store changed to only recognise software purchased from itself, and is this Apple's way of discouraging us from buying software from other sources?
Any comments would be appreciated.

Yes, when the Mac App Store first launched here in the UK it showed iLife, iWork, and Delicious Library 2 as "installed" on my MacBook Pro. All of the above were installed from disk or from download prior to the MAS being launched. I was even provided with an update for Delicious Library 2 from the MAS, which I installed. They no longer showed as "installed" after the MAS was updated
Sine I made my original post, I have read elsewhere that this was an error in the original release that was "corrected" in later updates. This is a pity, because I am unable to update the apps via the MAS.
As for your previous post, Apple will provide updates to these apps as they are available for purchase via the MAS and therefore any updates will also be available from Apple via the MAS. However, if you have purchased the software from another source, say the developer's web site, then you won't be able to update via the MAS. This is what made me think that Apple are trying to "discourage" users from buying apps from sources other than the MAS.

Silver Efex Pro 2 demo merely crashes on LR 3.4.1

I wanted to try this interesting package, and d/l'ed from Nik Software. Installation is straight forward, and when opening LR I have the option to use Silver Efex as a filter, but all I keep getting is an "...error occurred and needs to close." I'm wondering if there's a connection to a similar error I had originally with LR crashing certain effects due to the older AMD processor I'm running (the patches provided took care of that); wondering if there's supposed to be a patch on Sliver Efex to fix it????

So here's what Nik said in response. I will see if there's an update video driver and go from there. If it doesn't fix, I won't have a chance to try their other suggestions for a day or two...
Thank you for contacting Nik Software.
Silver Efex Pro 2 additionally takes advantage of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) of the computer system. The GPU is also sometimes referred to as the Display Adapter or Video Card, in any case they are all the same. Sometimes certain video cards will not handle this additional processing. You will note this when opening an image into Silver Efex Pro 2 and one or more of the following happens: 1. Silver Efex Pro will crash right away, or 2. If it opens the imported image will sometimes not be displayed correctly (solid gray, black or white image), or 3. the buttons will not display correctly, or 4. the responsiveness is simply very slow.
In order to resolve this, the first measure would be to update the Display Adapters or GPU driver.
Mac Users: Generally the video card that comes with your Mac will be updated automatically. The exception may be when there has been an additional video card added. In that case the user may need to go to the video card manufacturer's website to download an updated driver for their secondary GPU. If you are using Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6) ensure to update to 10.6.6 or higher as this can affect performance. If this does not apply to you, please go to the next section below.
Windows Users: Locate the manufacturer of the GPU as well as the model number. Once this is determined, it is then recommended to go directly to the GPU manufacturer's website (best option) or if that is not possible to go to the computer manufacturer's website (secondary option) to obtain an updated video card driver. It is NOT recommended to use Windows Update as in general we have found that these drivers are not updated as frequently. To identify which video card you have please do the following:
Click on Start >Control Panel >System & Security >System >Device Manager and then click on the plus next to Display Adapter, this should display the make and model information.
Windows XP users: Click on Start >Control Panel >Performance & Maintenance >System then click on the "Hardware" tab followed by the "Device Manager" button. Locate "Display Adapter" in the list and click on the plus next to it, this should display the make and model number of the GPU.
Go to the manufacturer's website (you may need to search for it via Google) such as Nvidea.com and with the model number you should be able to search for the latest driver. If you are unable to locate the driver you may need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to obtain an updated driver.
Once the latest GPU driver is located, download and install the new driver.
Restart the computer and try Silver Efex Pro 2 once again.
If after following the above steps, you are still experiencing the same issue, the next step will be to either disable the GPU (if possible) or force Silver Efex Pro 2 to not use the GPU (safe-mode). In order to disable the GPU in Silver Efex PRO 2 please do the following:
If you are able to open Silver Efex Pro 2 and can see part of the interface, see if you can click on the "Settings" button in the lower left.
In Settings locate the section "GPU" and expand it, in this section you will see a check box "Enable GPU Processing", uncheck this so the GPU will be disabled, then close the settings window.
Close out of Silver Efex Pro 2 (click Cancel), quit out of any and all host applications (Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture), and then relaunch Silver Efex Pro 2 to see if this corrects this issue.
If you are unable to disable the GPU via settings (e.g. Silver Efex Pro 2 crashes or the buttons are not displaying correctly), please try the following steps below after quitting out of all host applications (Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture):
Mac Users:
Open a finder window (or double click on the Macintosh HD on the desktop) and navigate to:
Macintosh HD : Users : <user name> : Library : Preferences : Nik Software : Silver Efex Pro 2
Locate the file, SilverEfexPro2.cfg and right-click and choose "open with..." and then click "Choose" and then locate the applications, "TextEdit" to open this file.
At the very beginning (before all the text) of the configuration file, paste the following code below verbatim:
<configuration>
<group name="INTERN">
<key name="UseSafeMode" type="bool" value="1"/>
</group>
</configuration>
Now save the file, close it and relaunch Silver Efex Pro 2 and see if the issue has been resolved.
Windows Users:
Click Start and type in the search box below: %localappdata% (exactly as shown with % symbols on each end), when the yellow folder "Local" is displayed in the search list, click on it.
Windows XP: Click Start >Run and type, "%USERPROFILE%/Local Settings" without the quotes and press enter.
The local folder will open, now double-click on "Nik Software" followed by "Silver Efex Pro 2" and locate the file SilverEfexPro2.cfg and then double click to open. Windows will ask you which application to use to open this file, locate and choose "Notepad" to open.
At the very beginning (before all the text) of the configuration file, paste the following code below verbatim:
<configuration>
<group name="INTERN">
<key name="UseSafeMode" type="bool" value="1"/>
</group>
</configuration>
Now save the file, close it and relaunch Silver Efex Pro 2 and see if the issue has been resolved.

Silver efex pro 2 won't open now in 10.6.8?

After upgrading to 10.6.8, I can't get Nik Software silver efex pro 2 to open as an Aperture (or Lightroom) plugin.   Silver Efex Pro works but not Silver Efex Pro 2.
I've tried re installing Silver Efex Pro 2.
Everything else seems to be working fine.   Just these strange glitch.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 not recognized in PS CS6

hi
I'm having problems with Silver Efex Pro 2 after upgrading to PS CS6, worked fine in older versions of PS..
Downloaded the latest installer from Nik Software..
The installer only find my Lightroom 4.1 when installing, and I have to add CS6 manually (locating the plugin folder, also tried other folders).
It works fine in LR4.1, but in PS, the software opens, I apply changes, and clik OK, NIK closes, but nothing happens to my image. The history tab says "Silver Efex Pro 2", but no layers/changes to the original image..
64bits WIN7 Enterprise, 12GB ram
Please help!

I've had frustrations with installing Nik Silver Efex Pro 2, as well as other plugins, into both Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CS5 several times, on both of my computers, each running Windows 7 (64-bit). I believe I have figured out why, and it turns out in my case it is my human error.
The bottom line is that the default installation of both of these PHOTOSHOP versions result in a double Photoshop program installation - one as Photoshop 32-bit version, and one as Photoshop 64-bit version. So Photoshop itself is installed twice, in two different locations on the computer. One installation is under the folder location: "C:/Program Files/Adobe", and the other Photoshop installation is under the folder location: "C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe". 64 bit versions of plugins should be installed into the former of the two Photoshop folder locations - the one that is found under "C:/Program Files/Adobe". The Silver Efex Pro 2 plugin needs to be installed (or copied from a previous install) into the Photoshop "Plug-ins" folder of the correct Photoshop version.
So my problem was caused by installing Silver Efex Pro 2 into the wrong Photoshop version "Plug-ins" folder, and therefore I couldn’t find it under the Filters menu in Photoshop.
I've also experienced the problem described by the original poster above (Aremark1984) - about Silver Efex Pro 2 being apparently available within Photoshop in the Filters menu, appearing to function normally but not creating a new layer within Photoshop once Silver Efex closes and returns the edited image to Photoshop. In my case, as Aremark1984 describes, I had manually installed Silver Efex by copying it's folder from the Photoshop CS5 "Plug-ins" folder to the Photoshop CS6 "Plug-ins" folder. However I had wrongly copied a sub-folder of the Silver Efex program, rather than the parent folder. The folder that needs to be copied for a manual install is titled "Nik Software" (not "Silver Efex Pro 2").

Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 not recognized in PS CS 5.1

During Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 installation, only LR3 x64 listed as host application, Photoshop CS 5.1 x64 was not. Manually adding PS to the host application list resulted in shortcuts being created in the PS directory, but PS will only open the standalone version of SEP when launched from Plug-in->Nik->SEP. I've checked the shortcut path and it is correctly pointed to the SEP x64 plug-in file for PS. Does anyone having trouble to get SEP2 to work in PS CS 5.1? BTW, LR3 plug-in is working perfectly fine.

Photoshop CS5.1 is the version that ships with CS 5.5. It's also known as 12.1. To make matters even more confusing, for Photoshop CS5 users the 12.0.4 update is functionally identical to 12.1 except for the ability to license it via subscription.
And even funnier, behind the scenes and under the covers, the pre-release versions used different registry keys than the final release, making it even harder for people developing plug-ins to get their installers right.

NIK Silver Efex Pro 2 hangs CS5 W/100% CPU Win 7 64bit

I'm running Win 7 64bit and CS5 64bit and it works fine until I load Silver Efex Pro 2 then CS5 hangs and CPU is @ 100%. I have to force close CS5.
I also have SEP 1 and that works without a problem.
I also run XP Pro SP2 on a completely different hard drive that get switched in and out with my Win 7 hard drive, NOTE these two OS's are not in the system at the same time (sorry but some on these forum get confused about that), and run CS5 32bit on that install and SEP runs fine on that OS and CS5 32bit.
What could cause this. I will be contacting NIK tomorrow about this problem.
Anyone else haviing this problem?
Thanks.

Not helpful?
In this thread alone you asked whether anyone had seen a problem. I bumped the thread back to the top so it would be seen more. Yes, I really did think about that when I made my first response in this thread, which otherwise had 0 responses and had fallen off the first page. It was a "matter of fact" response, intended for you and future readers, no condescension intended.
You asked about licensing services and I named them.
But these things are not helpful in your opinion. No "thanks for the information" or even "thanks for your response". Just a "Gee Thanks" with an attitude.
Unlike you, when you address me, I respond. I asked you a question, but you ignored it.
And now guess what? I don't particularly feel like doing you a favor and trying to remember that you would prefer me not to respond to your comments. Tell you what: You continue to post when and where you want, and I'll do the same.

2 copies of Nik Silver Efex Pro in Lightroom 2.4

Hullo
I have Mac 10.5.7Lightroom 2.4.
Ever Since I needed to trash Photoshop PS4 ( issues) and re-instated Photoshop CS3. (Within the next week I will be re-installing Photoshop CS4) The following issues have come up in Lightroom.........
1. Browser Styles for Silver Efex Pro downloaded for Silver Efex Pro have disappeared. Have only the styles originals that came with the software.
Just to add I found I had two copies of Silver Efex Pro in Edit in ( Lightroom) - decided to uncheck save pre-sets with catalogue and this has corrected i. e it has reverted back to 1 copy in Edit in Silver Efex pro.
2. After editing in Photoshop PS3 - after save / or Save as - does not automatically return to Lightroom as previously. Instead window comes up with options to save somewhere on my Mac computer?
3. I am concerned that I have unchecked with " save presets with catalogue as I have read elsewhere that presets will fail to remain with the Catalogue if the "presets save with catalogue" left unchecked
4. I have an application that does backups once a week on opening Lightroom. I would like to save on my computer - what is the safest way to delete old backups?thank you
Sue

TS3195 My mac mini (Snow Leopard, v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone 4, iphone 4s or ipad2 in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview but it does in iTunes. I am at a loss for importing photos, short of emailing them. Glitch with OS X 10.6.8 ?

My Mac Mini (v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone as a device in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview although, iTunes does. I am at a loss for importing photos other than emailing them to myself. Same problem with my iphone 4, iphone 4s, ipad2 and New iPad. Is this a problem with OS X 10.6.8 as I read some posts claim? Please help.

I was able to import photos in iPhoto and Image capture when I was running SL 10.6.8 on my older MacBook.
Did you try quitting everything, restart the Mac and then try again?
Are there any updates at all for the Mac? I was helping one user not all that long ago and there were updates for her Mac software that had nothing to do with the OS and when she downloaded the updates - the iPad was then recognized in iTunes.

Unverträglichkeit Adobe Air mit Nik "Silver Efex Pro" unter PS CS5

Hallo zusammen,
ich arbeite mit Photoshop CS5 extended und dem Plug-In "Silver.Efex-Pro" von Nik-Software unter Windows 7.
Gestern wurde ich aufgefodert "Adobe Air" upzudaten. Nach erfolgtem Update wollte ich ein Bild in SW umwandeln, dabei ist - beim Starten von Silver-Efex-Pro" das System eingefroren; rien ne va plus.
Dieselbe Situation hatte ich vor ca. 1 Woche, als auf meinem Notebook (Lenovo) das Solution-Center updaten wollte und ich zustimmte. Nach Zurücksetzen des gesamten Systems funktionierte alles wieder.
Sind Probleme mit der neuen Version von Adobe Air bekannt?
Ich hab´dieses dann unter Systemsteuerungen deinstalliert. Seitdem funktioniert das Lenovo Solution Center nicht mehr richtig.
Freundliche Grüße sendet

Or bad karma.
Thanks for looking at my problem. This all started a month or so ago and I don't have a clue what might have happened. I initially had problems with 64bit and some Nik plugins so I switched to 32bit and everything was humming along. After all the Nik plugins were upgraded I switched back to 64 bit and I think everything was fine at that point. I'm running the same setup on a Mac Pro so I'm guessing it is this laptop (MBP15) that's at fault, but everything else (Lightroom, Aperture, Final Cut Pro, lots of other stuff) runs perfectly. At this point I'm trying to avoid rebuilding the machine but that's probably inevitable.

HT1338 I am still with 10.5.8 and my macbook does not show any software updates, i am willing to pay for a new software if it is needed, because i can't connect mi iPhone 5S or iPad mini to iTunes. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

How do i update 10.5.8 if my macbook does not show any software updates?

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

ESRfor PI 7.1) source message idoc does not exist in software componet

Hi ,
When using the sap predelivered integration content in the repository the above error (ESR ( for PI 7.1) error : source message idoc does not exist in software component version id) is coming while opening the message mapping interface. Is it due to some content missing or a sp level mismatch ?
Thanks
Sri

Hi,
I'd say you need to import some other SWCV which has all the IDOC typos you use in your scenario
probably this is a prerequisite for importing your SWCV
I don't think this is related to sp level or anything like that
it's just that SWCV is missing
