Lightroom 5 and NIK plug-in

I downloaded Lightroom 5 and then purchased the package of all Nik software. When using LR5, I can only access one element, (HDR) but not the others. I have tried re-installing but nothing works. Any ideas?

Ask in the LR forum or, more appropriately, in the Nik support area.

Camera Raw and NIK Plug-in

I have a problem with NIK-Plug-in and Camera Raw / Photoshop CC / Bridge CC. After installation of the latest version of NIK-Plug-in I lost the lens profiles in ACR if going directly from Bridge CC to Photoshop CC with NEF-Files. If using the Bridge CC ACR the problem does not occur.
Is this a known problem ? What is the solution ?

The Nik Selective Tool causes issues so needs to be disabled.

Photoshop Elements, Lightroom and Nik Software Lightroom Edition experience working together?

I have Photoshop Elements 10 and number of plugins, like Topaz Labs ones. I have also just acquired Lightroom. I do want to get CS5 eventually but that is not in the near future.
I am thinking of getting Nik Software's Complete Collection. It does not support Elements 10, but it does support Lightroom. So solution seems easy, just use it in Lightroom. That solution could also result in $200 saving as edition that includes support for Photoshop and Lightroom is right now $399 while one that supports just Lightroom (and Aperture but that is not of relevance to me as I am a Windows user) is $199.
However, I do not want to lose benefits of other plugins I have so going with solely Lightroom edition means increased going back and forth between Photoshop and Lightroom.
So question for those experienced with 3 of these together: Do you foresee issues with getting edition that just supports Lightroom? What things I might feel are missing / might frustrate me with this approach?

I’ve not used Nik Software but have used Lightroom and PSE together and the two programs integrate well. If Elements was already installed Lightroom should automatically recognize it as your external editor otherwise you need to set up external handling in Lightroom preferences.
I assume any changes made in Lightroom with a Nik plug in will register as part of the Lightroom Develop settings. Is that how it should work?
My usual routine is to highlight an image in the Lightroom Library and then
1) Press Ctrl+E to edit in photoshop - choose PSD with Lightroom settings
2) Image opens automatically in PSE Editor
3) Do further editing in PSE and press Ctrl+S to save an overwrite the Lightroom export copy. Click OK
4) Press Ctrl+W to close the saved PSD file which automatically updates the Lightroom thumbnail.
It all works quite seamlessly. Use the PSD copy in light room to export a jpeg or any other format of your choosing.

Elements 10 and nik software.

I recently upgraded to elements 10 and have installed nik software. While I can access nik through the drop down filter menu I cant get the selective tool to come up on the desktop when i open the programme. The Automation tools is also not highlighted so i can not activate it here either. Can anyone please help.
I have downloaded the same software on my laptop and it is working fine, just not on my pc

Lightroom can not get my photo file when I go to nik plug in any help?

Lightroom is unable to prepare my file when I go to my nik plug in. It says it can not open the file. I'm working off an external hard drive and I have tried both of them. any help out there?

It's failing to load Main.swf
I noticed that you do have a main.swf
Perhaps the file was renamed at some point.

If I'm in LIghtroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updates. How can I fix this?
If I click "Open Anyway" or "Render using Lightroom", I get the following message:
"Adobe Photoshop CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
Please tell me what to do so I can edit from Lightroom to Photoshop.

In Photoshop, if you choose Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw, does it say 8.6?
Seems to me there was some hiccup they found in the update process, which prompted this:
Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
I honestly don't know if the problem could apply to 8.6 as well, which is why I asked you to check to make very sure you really got it.

I have Lightroom 5 and would like to install/buy Plug in for deveopment of my images

I have Adobe Lightroom 5 and I would like to install/buy a Plug in for better development of my images
Can you advise how to do this
thanks

Why do you need a plugin for better development of your images? Be more specific.

Plug-in for Canon iPF8400 not recognised in Photoshop CC 2014. Lost Topaz and Nik Software as well.

I have just updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and lost the plug-ins for Canon iPF8400 printer, Topaz Labs, and Nik Software. I had been asked if I wanted to migrate plug-ins and said yes. I have dropped the plug-ins into the Photoshop plug in folder but they are note being recognised.

Similar problems here with Topaz Labs plug-ins.
Unfortunately I have now uninstalled Photoshop CC so the option of copying them into Photoshop CC 2014 is no longer viable and Photoshop CC 2014 simply does not recognise them.
Waiting for response from Topaz labs

PSE and Nik Collection of Plug-ins

Has anyone running PSE and using the Nik Collection of plug-ins experienced any sudden problems with a missing .dll file?
Yesterday, I was unable to open up PSE due to a missing .dll file. After hours of trying to figure out the problem, I inadvertently realized it was the Nik Collection that was the problem and re-installing it solved the problem.
This morning, same error message once again and when I by-passed it and got into PSE the Nik Collection was not showing under “filters” although it was yesterday after the problem was solved. So, I uninstalled the Nik Collection and re-installed it and everything is good now.
Clearly, there is some sort of issue with the Nik plug-ins –anyone else having this problem?

Hi,
You can try this.
1. Launch PSE
2. Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins
3. In the Additional Path, Provide the path of the Bokeh Plugin
4. Click OK
5. Relaunch PSE
I hope, it should work now.
Thanks,

Using lightroom 5. edited photos and forgot to plug my external lightroom disk in. plugged disk in and now only have a rainbow twirly

im a newer lightroom 5 user on MAC, but have learned pretty quickly.
I have been editing a set of photos, and while picking up today I forgot to plug my external Lightroom storage disk into my laptop.
Then without thinking I plugged the disk into my laptop hoping the disk would appear and sync.
Right now all i have is a rainbow twirly on the screen.
Not sure what to do.
Can I close Lightroom and save all my edits?
Do I need to unplug the disk and restart lightroom?
Thank you in advance for any assistance, this is the first time i have made this error

Even though no one answered, thanks for looking anyway.
Problem solved. It seems that Finder on the MAC was frozen/stalled so it could not see the disk.
I deinstalled the external storage disk, created a folder on the desktop and exported all the photos i was working on from Lightroom to there.
I closed Lightroom (and upgraded to 5.5), killed Finder and restarted my laptop.
Inserted my external Lightroom storage and it was recognized, brought up Lightroom and all was well.

How do I install NIK plug-ins into Lightroom?

I'm trying to install NIK plug ins into Lightroom 5. How do I do that?

I just ran the Nik installer. After the plug-ins were installed they were accessible from the "Edit in" menu in Lightroom.

How do I update my Nik Plug Ins for LR 5 to the latest release?

Nik has a new release (1.1.1.1) and the Plug In version I have in LR 5 is 1.1.1.0. How do I update the Nik Plug In's? I have Lightroom through the Creative Cloud and usually get my updates there.

Yep, I just checked my version of the plugins and they have all been updated in the background. I wasn't even aware there was a new version until this thread.

Nik Plug ins

I'm new to both Lightroom and Nik software. How do I use Nik with Lightroom 5? I can't seem to add it as a plug in. What am I supposed to do?

Most are accessed via 'Edit In' HDR Efex Pro via 'Export'

Aperture and NIK tool Plugins

Hey dear "Apertures",
does somebody use the NIK tools directly in APERTURE as Plug ins?
Till now I have got it only working via PS CS4
Does mean PS CS4 is opening, when I start using NIK tool
System I am using : MACBookPro- MAVERICKS APERTURE 3.5.1 - PS CS4 and NIK tool collection
Thx for the feedback
FJ

The Nik Collection can be installed as:
- Aperture plug-ins
- Photoshop plug-ins
- Lightroom plug-ins
It's up to you how you use them.
I have them installed as both Aperture and PSCC plug-ins. If I am going to use only one, and don't need to make additional changes using that Nik tool, I just call it from Aperture as a plug-in and use it. (Ex: DFine for noise reduction.)
If I am going to use more than one, or want to preserve the layer for additional parametric changes, I send the new Version to PS via Aperture's built-in external editor command, and then use the Nik tool(s) from Photoshop on Smart Layers (I think -- I'm not a PS maven).
So it's really up to you. It sounds as though right now you using Nik Photoshop plug-ins. If you want, you can install them as Aperture plug-ins (assuming that you're Nik Collection is up to date and complete).
Is that helpful?
--Kirby.
