Does Aperture show changes made using Nik Software plugins in its metadata?

I recently heard on a photography podcast that when you use one of the Nik Software plugins, Aperture records the changes made in its metadata. I have not been able to find this, but I hope its true. Please let me know where this can be found.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

It was the TWIP Podcast from a couple of weeks ago, and Scott Bourne was speaking. This is from the show notes:
"Scott points out that the one difference between the way Aperture handles and the way Lightroom handles it is that when it roundtrips back in Aperture it retains and edit list of the adjustments that were done so if you ever need to go back and see what you did you can see the steps and not have to guess at your changes."
Now that I am re-reading this, I am guessing that the info. is only available if you re-enter the plugin from within Aperture. Although it is not what I originally thought, it would still be pretty helpful. I will check it out tonight.

  • Bex iView does not show changes made in web templates

    Hello,
    I have a Bex iView that presents a web template which is exposed in two portals.
    I made a certain change in the web template in portal A and I can see the change through the Bex iView in this portal.
    I than transfered the change to portal B and I can see this change at the Web application designer's code when it is connected to portal B.
    The problem is that I can't see the change through the Bex iView in portal B, it keeps presenting the old version of the web template. Also, if I preview it from WAD, which opens it in the portal, it shows the old version as well.
    <b>I've already tried/verified the following:</b>
    1. It's not a client related issue as it happens to all clients.
    2. I have tried clearing both the client and the portal's pcd caches.
    3. No cache whatsoever is configured in this iView's properties (Cache Level: None, Cache Validity Period: 0,0,0,-1, Allow Client-Side Caching: No).
    4. When I run the iView in debug mode in the application integrator I can't see anything unusual I can think of. Also, I can see there that it points to the correct web template.
    5. Retransported the web template from server A to server B.
    What else can be done here? Any ideas...?

    Hello,
    did you resolve your problem ?

  • Batch process using Nik Software - is it possible?

    Hi,
    I'm using Nik Software (plug-ins) with Aperture and was wondering if there was any way to do a batch change? For example if I have to reduce the noise using Define2.0 and I have a profile I would like to use already, is there a faster way to process a set of pictures altogether rather than one by one (which I currently do now)? I've tried selecting multiple ones and opening it in Define2.0 but it seems that unless I view each picture in Define2.0 then some pictures still remain unprocessed.
    Thanks,
    Walter ...

    If you have the most up to date version of the Nik plugins, you can batch just as you are explaining. Simply select a handful of images and right click>edit with>Define, Viveza, Silver Efex Pro, etc.
    You do have a powerful graphic card to do this smoothly.
    Hope this helps,

  • Is there a known problem with Nik Software Plugins and PSE10

    I replaced my PC with a new 64-bit Windows 7 workstation. Have used PSE10 for a while for my cataloging and editing and I did 'trial' individual Nik Software plugins on my old Vista PC for a while. I decided to purchase the Nik Software collection and also to take the plunge and go to Lightroom 4 as well. I put PSE10 on my new PC as well because I want to consider how I might modify my workflow to use both in conjunction (perhaps LR4 for cataloging and PSE10 for editing)
    When it came to installing Nik Software Plugins (they are supposed to plugin to Elements and LR4) it seemed to find some of the plugins compatible with both PSE10 and LR4 , some compatible with one of them and some not compatable (apparently) with either, but installed them anyway. But when I use PSE10 now I cannot go from the Organizer into the Editor, it loads the editor interface but not the image. If you open PSE Editor directly and open an image, the image will load and you see 4 of the plugins and I invoke them but the changes dont seem to get applied in PSE10. Then I started reading up on the  web ..... and the consensus seems to be it is not a Nik Software issue but an Abobe editor plugin issue.
    On a side issue, the retailer I bought Nik Software from sent me no product keys (they sent me Apple Aperture keys) - now they are about to replace my delivery with a fresh issue and proper keys ... but if I run into the same problems again, I dont know what to do. This leads me to looking for some definitive advice from those in the know!
    Should I forget about buying Nik Software plugins altogether?
    I see a download is available for LR4-2 .. does anyone know if this fixes Nik Plugin issues there?
    I am minded to go the route of using LR4 as my cataloging preference but to call PSE10 Editor for editing and have all my plugins operate out of PSE10, but I could not get the plugins to work with PSE10 as mentioned. How does one get them to work?
    Is there some workaround or special "way" or "order" to install things ???
    I'm still waiting days for some support from Nik Software ... but they are just going to say there is nothing wrong with their product (and the web seems to concur)
    Any help would be appreciated on the PSE10 Issue.

    17/10/2012. I installed the update - Lightroom 4.2
    It keeps the same product key and found the catalog and the Windows Control Panel only seems V4.2 so the original has been replaced with this upgrade.
    This would be the first time I put down Lightroom  with Photoshop Elements  V.10 already there on the system and I suspect this might have helped with better integration between the 2 products.
    I made sure I then opened Photoshop Elements V10 and I could edit an image (that the Organizer invocation to Photoshop Elements Editor did sucessfully load the image) and I could use existing plugins like Topaz and Noiseware. Also I made sure Lightroom  4.2 could use "Edit with Photoshop Elements " and it did.
    The supplier who had sent me the wrong Nik Software product keys, sent me a corrected version with product keys for Lightroom
    Several web articles I read on Nik Software plugins may be misleading (for example there is one on DPReview) which state that Nik Software plugins are compatable with Photoshop (the main product) but are NOT compatable with Photoshop Elements v10. I can tell anyone who uses Photoshop Elements 10 that they ARE compatable with Photoshop Elements 10, but it can be a little tricky to get them going.
    This is how I sucessfully managed to get the Nik Software Plug-ins
    working (finally) on both Lightroom  and Photoshop Elements v10 at the same time
    Remember my scenario ... I am putting together a new 64 bit Windows 7 PC and I want to be able to continue to use my Photoshop Elements v10 and also to delve into Lightroom for the first time.  I had read all the blurb on Nik Software and it said the plugins were compatable with both and I had downloaded and tested some of them on an old PC anyway, so I knew the principle of installation and operation.
    I had just bought the Nik SOftware Complete Collection in September 2012.
    The box and the CD they come with .... this is where one of the problems is. Let me explain...
    Step 1:
    =======
    Some of the components on the CD are up to date .. and when you elect to install them the sofware tells you that it has found both Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop Elements V10 and it installs the plugins no problem and they work. Make sure (in these cases) you take their defaults as to the locations the plugins are instlled to. Typically the dual install works for the following components
    Nik Color Efex Prov V4
    Nik Silver Efex V2
    and the plugins go to
    for Photoshop Elements v10           C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Plug-Ins\
    for Lightroom 4                                 C:\users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\External Editor Presets\
    After each of the above 2 installs finished I invoked Photoshop Elements v10 first and opened an image in Editor and made sure the plugin was working and inserted my product key and activated it over the web. I then made sure it was also working in Lightroom 4.2 - it was!
    Step 2:
    =======
    When it came to installing the Sharpener 3 component off the vendor's CD, it displayed NEITHER of the two applications on its compatability list at all. And there was no "+" sign where one can add one manually. Furthermore if you continue with setup.exe it crashes. I closed the EXE and confirmed there was no plugin in Photoshop Elements v10 as expected for Sharpener.
    But when I went into Lightroom 4.2 it shows me the 2 Sharpener entities (the RAW and Output one). And I used it and proved the plugins were working through Lightroom  4.2 and I inserted my product key for it when invoking it for the first time via Lightroom  4.2 as well.
    Then I went onto the Nik Software download site and downloaded a more updated version which was Sharpener Version 3.01. When I ran the installer from this download it actually does see and show both Photoshop Elements v10 and Lightroom  4.2 as "compatable" and it installed the plugins from that .. and they both work ... even though I had it working already (seemingly) from the CD install I obviously installed over it and the plugin still works in Lightroom 4.2. It also works now in Photoshop Elements v10. Only issue I had here was I had to re-insert my product key and activate it when I used the plugin via Photoshop Elements v10 for the first time... but if that is the extent of a techincal difficulty - I would take it anytime!.
    Step 3:
    =======
    When it came to installing Viveza 2 off the CD, it only saw Lightroom  4.2 as compatable. I did something similar in this case. I let it install to Lightroom 4.2 as a plugin and proved it worked and activated its produvt key. Then I downloaded V2.009 off the website. I re-installed from it (over the Lightroom 4.2 one obvously again) and it now also sees Photoshop Elements 10 as compatable and installs correctly. Strangely enough I did not have to enter my product key a second time when I went to invoke the plugins via Photoshop Elements v10 in this case. What the hell! - the subtleties of software!
    Step 4:
    =======
    Dfine 2.0 - the setup for the CD again finds NEITHER of the 2 applications on its compatablity list, but it put it into Lightroom 4.2 anyway (like the Sharpener component behaved) and I proved it worked. Then I downloaded version 2.112 from the Nik Software website and it finds both applications compatable. Also I did have to re-enter my product key when first invoking the plugin via the Photoshop Elements v10 editor (like as in the case of Sharpener)
    Step 5:
    =======
    HDR Efex Pro (which comes on the vendors CD with a promise to a free upgrade to HDR Efex Pro 2) .... the setup.exe sees Lightroom  4.2 as compatable but does not see Photoshop Elements  v10. Be careful ... this component is NOT A PLUGIN ... to see and use it in Lightroom 4 you must select photos and then do menu option EXPORT WITH PRESET HDR EFEX PRO. It does not work as a plugin within Photoshop Elements (any version) . I obtained my free upgrade too and it works from Lightroom. Dont even try to configure it manually as a plugin for Elements. Instead if you save files as JPG or TIFF you can open the EXE directly in the Program Files area (if you have 64 bit make sure to open that EXE not the 32 bit one) and you can use it in standalone mode. There is only one menu option within HDr Efex Pro when using it this way ...  File-Open.
    So to conclude ... (leaving HDR Efex aside because we know it will not plugin to Elements) ... I have them all working in both Lightroom and Elements. As I begin to learn Lightroom and move away from Elements for cataloging and edits, I know I can invoke most of my workflow plugins from both products. People say I should persist in Lightroom, but if for some reason I dont, I have the fall back position of having everything working out of Elements 10 anyway. It's been a bit of chore getting to this point, but others might find my workaround useful.

  • Nik Software Plugin loading time?

    Is it me or does any of the Nik Software Plugins for Aperture take forever to load? I have a fast Macbook Pro and I have waited up to 5 minutes sometimes for Color EFex Pro to load. It just says preparing image for editing. Anyone know if there is a way to speed this process up? I also notice that it will open a lot faster if its been open for a while then I select a new image to work on then open another plugin. It will usually open faster that way. I am noticing this with all the plugins in the collection. The only one that loads fairly fast is Dfine.
    Also on the topic of Nik Software plugins, I noticed this morning that after I did extensive editing to an image and clicked SAVE, it actually did not save once I looked at the image inside my library! Talk about ticked off! I had to close out of Aperture and open it back up and re edit that image again and when I hit save, it saved it.

    I also had a number of Issues with NIK & CS5. I had an email from NIK that new 64bit HDR plug in was causing Silver effect pro to crash, they provided link to old SEP. I continued to have crashes with NIK Sharpen....so I was frustrated for quite a while......THEN...
    I recently 'fixed' my system by deciding that a full 64 bit install was the "current Future state.
    1) NIK has recently released (mid Nov) all of their plug ins as 64 bit. (finally !!)
    2) I partitioned hard drive and did a fresh installed of Snow Leopard (10.6.5) on new partition.
    3) I did a fresh install of Photoshop CS5 on this new hard drive partition.
    4) I booted SNOWLeopard in 64 bit mode.
    5) I enabled CS5 in 64 bit.
    6) I downloaded and installed all NIK 64 bit plugins (on at a time) in the new partition. (I have them all)
    7) My system works perfectly now...much faster...esp with CS5..
    8) I went back to old partition and used app zapper and also hard deleted all nik plugins from old partion
    8a) including: Applications, Applications/adobe/photoshop/plugins, user/system pref/nik....
    Finally solution..Go 64 bit, with OS, Photoshop & plugins...

  • CS 4 with Nik Software Plugins

    When I load Nik Software plugins into CS 4 it is not possible to use the "N Up" display options for tabbed document windows. The top part of the drop down box is simply blank. Adobe seems to be aware of this issue which perhaps not unreasonably they regard as Nik's problem. Has anyone found a solution to this issue? Many thanks

    This also happens with Imagenomic's Portraiture 2 plug-in. You can simply open and close the Imagenomic plug-in console from File > Automate, to have it corrected. Sticks only within PS sessions.

    2. Click Import all Selected and then Aperture comes up with Crash notification.
    3. Send Error Report to Apple.

  • When I use Firefox to monitor changes I do to HTML files locally, it does not show changes to images unless I restart the browser. Is this a bug?

    I have the local and the remote versions of a page open in two tabs. I change one of the images (keeping the same name in the HTML) and upload the changed image. The tab that shows the remote page only takes a refresh to show the change. The tab showing the local page not. I have tried opening it in a new window but it still does not change. Only if I restart Firefox does it show the change. Why? Is this a bug?

    grantheaslip's suggestion doesn't work for me; no change at all. (Thanks anyway.) Any other ideas? Is there another way to "hard" refresh? I don't see anything in the menu.
    Also, it seems like this is a very recent problem. I thought in the past that a regular refresh did the job.

  • Css-file on Romote Site does not show changes

    hello
    I use Dreamweaver CS4 on Win7 64bit system.
    I have a new website in construction and today the developer made changes to the Style.css file. Made the changes on an other computer and not in Dreamweaver.
    Now, when I open the Style.css file from the Remote Site, it does not show the changes that were made. However when I delete the Style.css file in my Local Files directory and copy the Style.css file from the Remote Site to the Local Files and open it from the Local Files in Dreamweaver, it shows the new file with the changes that were made. But the Remote file keeps showing the old data.
    I took several steps to try to eliminate this problem. Closing Dreamweaver and deleting the Configuration folders in Users>[NameUser]>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>Dreamweaver CS4> Both in en_US and nl_NL, although the latter did not contain any files.
    This did not work. Deleted the Style.css file on my Remote Site and uploaded it again from my Local Files. Nope. Still shows rthe css-file with the old data.
    Anybody any idea where Dreamweaver gets these old data from and how to make it work differently?
    greetings, Lex van de Oudeweetering

    Hello Ken
    I did not say my page is troubled. The trouble is that the style.css file opened from the Remote Site in Dreamweaver shows the wrong data, but in effect has the right data, because when copied to the Local Files and opened from there it shows the right data.
    The link to the page/site in construction is http://www.lex-illustrator.nl/lexillus
    And I have made screenshots of the opend css files and assembled them beside each other.
    On the left opened from the Local Files and on the right side the same css file opened from the Remote site.
    The orange dots indicate where they differ, the green ones the items that were changed today. So it's not a problem of only today.
    http://www.lex-illustrator.nl/2xcss.gif
    And I have to say I had issues before with updating files to the Remote server and how Dreamweaver shows them. Much of the times I have to delete the Remote file first to get it dispayed right if I check if it has worked by trying to open it from the Remote server.
    So it's not only limited to this site under construction. It looks like a Dreamweaver thing to me.
    Greetings, Lex

  • TS4391 Does anyone know if this affects the Nik software plugins?

    Apple says Aperture 3.4 is not compatible with some third-party plug ins. Does anyone know if this affects the Nik plugins?

    I had the same question and asked NIK software support. Their reply was they are seeing no problems with Aperture 3.4. I subsequently upgraded to 3.4 without any problems and verified the NIK plug-ins work as they did before.
    Note that NIK updated all their plugins on 13 Sept. I do not know whether you need the updates to avoid problems. I updated my plug-ins prior to upgrading to 3.4.
