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.

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 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?
-- Christian (B->

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 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.

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

HT201240 This process does not appear to work for me. I'm running 10.8.3. I created a new user for a guest staying with me. They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user. It won't allow me to choose the user I

This process does not appear to work for me. I'm running 10.8.3. I created a new user for a guest staying with me. They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user. It won't allow me to choose the user I created. I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin". The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users.
Can someone help me? I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on? What if this were my child? This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
Any help would be appreciated. (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
Thanks.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

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.

My Macbook Pro won't allow me to update from Quicktime 10.2 to 10.7

I need QuickTime 7 on my mac to play some files for work, and already have QuickTime 10.2 on it, which my Mac won't allow me to uninstall. And when I try and install 7.7, I get an alert telling me that 'This version of QuickTime 7 can't be instralled on this disk because QuickTime X is already present. Please use Software Update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime for you Mac.'
Yet when I use Software Update, there is nothing to update.
Any ideas?

Acrobat Pro won't allow to save with Reader Extended Features

I've saved forms this way before because all the users of our forms only have the free Reader version. For some reason it now won't allow me to save with the extended features. When I save as and hover over "Reader Extended PDF" it shows my 3 options but none of them are clickable. I don't know why it has saved before, but it won't now.
I also have a secondary issue. A form I previously, successfully saved this way is now not working for one of the users. It won't allow her to save the information she inputs. To my knowledge it has not been changed and it has only been used by a few people. Why would it suddenly stop allowing her to save?
I am working on a Mac, but the users are all on PC's. I've never had this be an issue before though.

Be sure you're not in form editing mode when you attempt to enable the document.
Regarding not being able to save with Reader after initially being able to, this has been reported before many times but the casue is often elusive. The document has somehow changed in a way that prevents the usage rights from being validated. This is not supposed to happen, but it does.

My mac pro won't allow guest users to log in.

How do you allow guest users in a mac pro? Keeps asking for a password?

This issue is sometimes or always the result of transferring the Guest account from another system in Migration or Setup Assistant. See the discussions linked below.
Mavericks guest user password
Guest account requires password - Disabling/reenabling doesn't work

MacBook Pro won't allow me to copy/unrar .RAR Files (error code -36).

So basically, I've been downloading a lot of .RAR files and its been fine until now. I can't copy/unrar anything. I tried so much I even upgraded from snowy leopard to Lion. I'm pretty angry and I've tried dot_clean /users/manraj/desktop/
I've reformatted my externals and honestly I can't even Time Machine back it up let alone copy it. Genius Bar won't help at all because they never back anything up. If anything they aren't responsible for loosing your files.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Manraj

Is this an external drive, internal drive, both? Did you put a tons of files on your desktop which is bad thing to do with OSX?
