Color Efex Pro 4

I had Color Efex Pro 4 in Elements 10. When I upgraded to Elements 11, its not there. Why?

You should use the color efex pro 4 installer to install the plugin into pse 11, since pse 10 is a separate program and installing
pse 11 doesn't migrate anything over from pse 10.

  • Nik Software Crash: "Could not complete the Color Efex Pro 4 command because of a problem with-"

    Nik Software/Photoshop Crash: "Could not complete the Color Efex Pro 4 command because of a problem with the filter module interface."  Define, Viveza work fine, the others, Color Efex, HDR Efex, Silver Efex don't.  I called Nik and they said they were familiar with this problem and that it was an Adobe problem.  They helped me uninstall and re-install the latest version of the filters.  Didn't fix the problem.  I called Adobe technical support, they confirmed that indeed it was an Adobe problem, but, they can't help me because they no longer offer support on CS5.  I'm on an iMac with Mountian Lion 10.8.5, running Photoshop CS5.1.  I searched the internet and found this problem mentioned in several places, just couldn't find the fix.  Interesting coincidence - I had been using Photoshop and the Nik software perfectly fine, even the morning of the day it began to crash.  I got a pop-up message from Adobe asking if they could anonymously monitor my usage to better their products.  I clicked on "Ask me later."  Then, my product crashed every time I tried to use the above-mentioned Nik software filters.  ???  Why would they want to monitor my usage of a product they won't/don't support anyway?  Help someone please - I really love the Nik software.  I paid top dollar for it back in the day because people like Dan Hughes actually answered your questions themselves.  The customer support was the best in the industry.  The opposite is true of Adobe, is it not?

    Thank you so much Chris.  I know I'm not the only person to run into this as both Nik/Google and Adobe acknowledged this problem.  I did however try something else to try and isolate the issue further.  I tried editing with Nik/Google Color Efex & Silver Efex, etc., in Aperture, and sure enough, the Nik/Google filters wouldn't open, or they would crash Aperture.  So - it's looking like a Nik/Google problem.  They used to be so good.  The crazy thing is that I had been using Photoshop with the Nik filters just fine, even earlier that very day.  What could have gone wrong?  Was there some kind of automatic update Saturday 3/1/14?  And it was especially weird that it happened immediately after I refused to allow Adobe to (anonymously) monitor my usage.  I'll call Nik/Google back tomorrow and tell them what you've told me, as well as letting them know their filters crashed Aperture too.  I'll report back as soon as I find a fix.  I know I'm not the only one out there who's experienced this.
    Thanks again!

  • Color efex pro won't allow me to choose Photoshop

    I'm trying to download Nik Color Efex Pro 3 and the installation will only allow me to choose Photoshop Elements and not the full Photoshop.  Any ideas?

    Contact Nik/Google and ask them about the problem with their website.

  • Color efex pro in elements 9

    Hi all,
    This has probably been covered before but I couldn't find it by searching. I can't find my Nik Color Efex pro in my elements 9. I have it in Lightroom and Elements 7. So I have to use it in 7 save and then open again in 9.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks, GD

    Ummm, sorry, I wasn't clear. What I meant was find the folders where the efex pro files are residing in PSE 7; then, move the files in these folders to the same folders in PSE 9.

  • Nik Color Efex Pro

    I read online that there are issues with Photoshop CC and Nik Color Efex Pro being compatible.  The issue I'm reading about is the Nik plug in being installed into Photoshop CC upon download.  Has this issue been fixed?

    Ask the makers of Nik software.  They have had many issues with their plug-ins and only they can't tell you if they have an updated version to address your particular problem.
    It's up to Nik to fix their bugs.

  • Aperture 3.6 crashes when using Nik Color Efex Pro 4 (v. 1.2.8)

    I have recently bought a collection of Nik Color Efex Pro presets from Flypaper and had it installed within the plug-in. Since then, if I call the plug-in, Aperture will crash when I close it. I have tried to revert to a previous plug-in, dug up from my Time Machine as well as a previous Aperture from the same source. Useless.
    I also ran the newly populated plug-in from LS and it operated perfectly. So the plug-in doesn't seem to be corrupted.
    Do you have any suggestion?

    Google updated the plugins recently to correct this problem:
    https://support.google.com/nikcollection/answer/4400822?hl=en&ref_topic=3001406
    Version 1.109 (December 11/2013) is the latest:
    Fixed black or white tile artifacts that might have occurred after returning to Photoshop from plug-ins
    You can find out the version you have installed by launching Photoshop:
    On Mac: Select Photoshop>About Plug-in>Analog Efex Pro… (or any other NIK Plug-in)
    On Windows: Select Help>About Plug-in>Analog Efex Pro… (or any other NIK Plug-in)

  • Color Efex Pro 3.0 y Photoshop CC

    He instalado Phosohop CC y me han desaparecido los Plugins de Nik software (Color Efex Pro 3.0, Viveza 2 y Sharpener Pro 3.0. Sí me reconoce Viveza 2 y Silver Efex Pro. Cuando vuelvo a querer instalar el disco del paquete completo de Nik, sólo me permite hacerlo en PS 4( yo lo he usado en PS 4 y en PS 5 , sin problema).¿Tiene solución?

    De forma general, sin entrar en detalle de un determinado plug-in:
    En Photoshop CC tienes que utilizar un gestor de extensiones, Adobe Extension Manager CC, común a varias aplicaciones de Adobe CC. Que por cierto mira si lo tienes instalado y si no deberás descargarlo.
    Conclusión: Los plug-ins deben ser compatibles con este mecanismo. La extensión es .zxp. Funcionarán en la versión de 32 ó en la de 64 bits.
    Asi que intenta desde este Extension Manager instalar esos plug-ins.
    También puedes ir a la página del fabricante, (o empezar por ahí) y consultar si son compatibles, si existen versiones para Photoshop CC, ....

  • Color Efex Pro makes Aperture Flakey?

    I have been experimenting with the Nik filters, and everything was fine till I tried out Color Efex Pro this morning. It seems that after I use it, I start getting odd behavior from Aperture - it seems less responsive, I get pictures going all white or all black, sometimes sliders slide but nothing happens, and one time a photo went black and white with banding like an old TV. Neither Dfine nor Viveza seemed to do this.
    Quitting and restarting seems to fix it, but use Color Efex Pro again and it starts up again. Has anyone else noticed this?

    I've noticed the black and white banding when I'm zooming to 100% or opening a full-screen image on any image that I've adjusted using either Nik's Viveza, Define and Color Efex plug-ins for Aperture. I'm not sure what's going on there? I'm using Nik Software's Complete Collection of Plug-Ins for Aperture

  • PSE 9 and Color Efex Pro 4

    I installed the trial version of this and every single time I hit the "brush" button at the bottom right of the plug-in it takes me back to PSE 9 (as it should) and then crashes PSE 9....I can't find anything specific to this so thought I would ask if anyone else has had this issue.
    Also, does anyone have a link as to how to use that selective brush tool in Color Efex?  Thanks so much.

      Check with Nik Software. Except HDR Efex Pro 2, it should be compatible. 
     

  • CS6 slow startup, hanging on Color Efex Pro 4

    I'm in Lightroom 4.  When I do an "Edit in Photoshop CS6", it takes a very long time (usually over a minute) for PS6 to start up.
    The splash screen comes up right away and hangs on the "loading Color Evex Pro 4" for a long time.  It eventually starts, but this is really annoying.
    CS5 starts up within a few seconds.

    I removed all the Nik filters and PS6 starts up quickly.
    Reinstalled Nik Viveza 2 and PS6 still starts up quickly.
    Reinstalled Nik Color Efex 4 and PS6 took two minutes to start up.
    So, it’s something with Color Efex 4.  What I don’t understand is why PS5 starts fast and PS6 starts slowly.
    I’m on a Dell XPS running Win 7 64 bit and have 6 Gb of memory.

  • Lightroom 5 - Nik Color efex Pro 3.0

    Hallo zusammen,
    ich habe Lightroom 5 auf meine MacBook Pro installiert.
    Jetzt versuche ich die Nik-Filter einzubinden (was laut Nik funktioniert).
    Ich gehe über "Voreinstellungen". "Externe Bearbeitung".
    Wenn ich dann auf den Ordner gehe, in dem ich die Nik-Filter gespeichert habe, ist keine Datei so hinterlegt, dass ich sie einbinden kann.
    Hat von euch schon jemand diese oder ähnliche Filter eingebunden?
    Danke für eure Unterstützung.
    fotofranziskus

    Hallo Axel,
    danke für deine Unterstützung.
    Mit einbinden meine ich, dass ich die Filter so in LR5 integriere, dass ich die Filter direkt in LR5 verwenden kann.
    So nutze ich sie heute in Photoshop Elements 11.
    Der Support von Franzis (NIK Filter) hat mir empfohlen, die Filter als externes Bearbeitunsprogramm einzubinden.
    Bei diesem Versuch gibt es bei dem Ordner, den die NIK Filter während der Installation angelegt hat, keine Datei, die sich einbinden lasst. Hierzu suche ich eine Lösung.
    Auch PSE11 hat die Filter nicht erkannt. Ich habe sie dort in den Plug-ins Ordner installiert.
    Ich habe in der Hoffnung gepostet, dass es in LR5 eine vergleichbare Lösung gibt.
    Freundliche Grüße

  • Plug-ins in Color Efex do not work when used with Lightroom? really need help

    Dear all,
    I am suffering the problem with some plug-ins (some others still okey) of Color Efex when I use them with Lightroom. Specifically, the image I chose to edit in Color Efex turned black as I tried to apply a plug-in, ex Detail extractor. Pls see the pic below:
    Before
    ...and After
    I am using Win XP and wondering whether this is the root of this problem? Pls help me for a solution if you know it.
    Many thanks for reading and supporting!

    Dear all,
    I emailed Nik team and it is just exact as what you said, they are very helpful and supportive when provide me several of solutions. Thank god one amongst them solves my issue completely. I performed the following steps:
    If you are able to open Color Efex Pro 4and 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 Color Efex Pro 4 (click Cancel), quit out of any and all host applications (Photoshop,Lightroom, Aperture), and then relaunch Color Efex Pro 4 to see if this corrects this issue.
    Thank to Nik team and you guys here. I'm now able to work with my new project better

  • PSCS 3 and Nik Color Efex 3.0 crashing on start.

    Hi All,
    Running a MacBook Pro 2.2 Intel, PSCS 3 latest versions of all.
    I'm trying to load 'Color Efex 3.0 Complete' (15-day demo version).
    Seemed to install fine, but upon re-opening PSCS 3, PS freezes at the end of the launch process, requiring a 'Force Quit'. Seems to be as it's loading the plugins and/or fonts. I have temp removed all my 3rd party Plugins and reloaded one at a time to try to find the conflict. This happens even with Color Efex 3.0 loaded as the ONLY 3rd-party plugin. Seems to have something to do with the 'Selection Folder/Plugin' that comes with Color Efex 3.0. At least that's when it hangs. If I remove that folder, PSCS3 opens fine, but then Color Efex 3, although it seems to allow you to use the filters, doesn't apply them upon clicking the 'OK' button.
    Now, I would assume that it's a simple Color Efex issue with this 'Selections' folder trying to load. But here's the rub. When I first loaded the software, it wouldn't open on the first couple of attempts. But then on the 3rd attempt, it did open up fully and I worked with the software for the first entire evening, 5 or 6 hours (2 nights ago). Seems like a great piece of software. I then closed out of PSCS 3 at the end of that session. Now, it WILL NOT reload. It hangs PS every time on start-up. I have to remove it from the plugins folder to get PSCS3 to open up, which after that, does run fine.
    FYI, I did also try to 'uninstall' CEFX 3 and re-install it, a couple of times, but that hasn't worked.
    Anyone else tried this software, had a similar experience. Any solutions, suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    After trying to fix the problem of Nik 3.0 crashing my PSCS3 on Leopard all day yesterday to no avail, I tried something different this morning and . . . lo and behold . . . it now works fine.
    Here is what I did:
    1. In Finder, I located the Nik Software folder in /Applications/Adobe PhotoshopCS3/Plug-Ins. I then "drag and dropped" the folder Nik Software onto my desktoop.
    2. I then opened PSCS3, and, since the Nik Software folder wasn't in the plug-ins folder anymore, CS3 opened just fine, without crashing.
    3. I clicked on "Photoshop" tab (next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen). Click on "Preferences" and then click on "Plug-Ins".
    4. A window will pop up, and there will be a check box for "Additional Plug-Ins Folder". I clicked on the check box and then clicked on the word "Choose".
    5. Another window popped up, and then I located the Nik Software folder on my desktop and clicked on it to select it by clicking on "Choose" again. My Additional Plug-Ins Folder is now listed as "Macintosh HD:Users:####me###:Desktop:Nik:Software: Now click on OK.
    6. To my amazement, When I opened CS3, everything worked fine. The Program opened quickly, and when I opened an image, I could access the Nik Software through the normal CS3 filters tab.
    Essentially, I think PSCS3 wants to have the NIK filters accessed through a separate additional plug-ins folder. I'm certain it could be located anywhere (I just left mine on the desktop) as long as the PS program knows where to find it in the other folder.
    Wow, the Nik Filter 3.0 program looks great . . . I'm anxious to get back to working with it.
    Hope this helps.
