Lr 5 update / Lost Nik Plugins

I updated to the latest Lr 5 (June 20, 2014) and lost most of the Nik Plugins?
Using Plugin Manager doesn't recognize them.
I reinstalled all of the Nik Plugins and that did not help.

You didn't lose anything.
Photoshop CC is an entirely separate product from its predecessor, and is installed in a different set of folders. In fact, unless you uninstalled the old version it's still there and can still be run.
Reinstall your plug-ins after finding out whether there are updated versions specifically for CC. Failing that, you can try copying individual plug-in files into the Photoshop CC plug-ins subfolder (but DO NOT copy all the files from the old version). Some plug-ins require additional files beyond just the .8bf, .8bi, etc. files. But you know what each requires - you got it in the first place. Photoshop CC is no different, really - just in a different place.
Did you have any Extra Plug-ins Folder defined in Photoshop CS6? That's no longer available but there is a workaround.

Aperture 3.2.3 and NIK plugins. I use several of these plugins. Recently, and intermittently, the edited image fails to update in the viewer until Aperture is quit and re-launched, even though it is updated in the browser strip. I have assumed the NIK software must be working because the problem occurs from time to time regardless of which one is used. Is there some explanation?

Not sure why Apple has not fixed this one yet. It is consistent with NIK plug-ins as well as Photoshop (CS5 and CS6).
Big fumble from my point of view.

@I run a Windows 8.1 - Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
Ram available = 1588 MB
Range = 873 -1143 MB
Recommended Photoshop usage range = 857 however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins. They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

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.

Problems with NIK Plugins

Hi all,
a lot was said already about problems with using Nik plugins in PS5 64 bit mode, but I'm not getting closer to a final solution.
I have installed all latest NIK plugin updates without problems.
According to their website all of their plugins are running now in a 64 bit mode.
In CS4 I can open and work with all plugins, BUT ONLY after removing the 'Selective Tool' from the plugin folder.
When it is not removed, PS4 is crashing all the time immediately after opening.
In Dfine plugin I noticed that my pointer is always a bit flickering during processing.
In CS5 it is the same; if the Selective tool is in the Plugin folder, it won't opening.
After removing it, in 32 bit mode I can open and work with all installed plugins.
But in 64 bit mode I'm able to work only with Silver Efex and HDR Efex Pro, but as soon I open Dfine, Sharpener, Viveza or Color Efex CS5 is crashing immediately.
I'm running a Mac pro with plenty power, ram etc, all updated and cleaned up.
What is other people's latest experience regarding that issue?
Thanks

Hi to all,
here I like to give you an update on my experience with NIK Plugins.
After beeing unable to solve my NIK problems by myself and in the forum I was contacting NIK, and their respons email told me only the following:
"In case of experiencing problems with their plugins in 64 bit mode remove all Duplicate Ariel Fonts"
Since I read about that already earlier, that reason had been ruled out.
BUT I got the idea simply to remove all my Arial Fonts from my Library (to the Desktop), and surprisingly ALL NIK plugins now were functioning without bringing CS5 to crash at start-up.
Unfortunately over the last days, especially on working with big file size pictures (around 200 MB) and plenty layers, CS5 crashed again often after initializing of the plugins.
Than I read today the post from Grey Havens, who suggested to set the percentage of RAM what Photoshop should use to maximal 60%.
Since I do have 14 GB RAM available, I indeed reduced the settings from 85% to 65%.
2 of my 3 internal HD's are assigned as scratch disk, as recommended by Adobe.
Thanks Grey, as you described, all plugins are opening now very fast, and I just tried all applications with big files, many layers and CMYK files,
without having any crash so far anymore.
If this continues, than I dont have to use my CS4 or the CS5 in 32 bit mode anymore, which would make all easier for me.
Than it also doesn't matter that Photoshop has less RAM assigned, because in 64 bit mode the almost 9 GB RAM assigned is for me more than enough.
So what worked for me, might work also for other people with same problems:
---    I had to remove the 'Selective Tool' from all plugins in CS4 and in CS5
---    I had to remove all Arial Fonts from my Font Library
---    I set in Preferences Performance the 'Let Photoshop Use RAM' to 65% only

NIK plugins and elements 10

I just installed elements 10 but when I try to add my NIK plugins- silver efex 2, viveza 2 and color efex 3- it states it cannot read the files. Does anyone else have this problem? Suggestions? Thanks Ron

I had some problems with the NIK plugins. They worked fine in 9 but not 10. When I contacted NIK they told me (via e-mail) that as 10 was so new, their plug ins weren't working with it yet and would with the next update. I called them and got some help. It is a bit of a complicated process however (even assuming the plug ins were originally installed in the default locations.) They have some beta versions which they sent me to "try" until the updates are released (fairly soon I think--- hope?) If I were you I would give them a call.... they are pretty responsive.

NIK plugins not working with LR4.

Installed LR4 and then NIK software plugins not working. Get the error "bad argument#1 to 'lower' (string expected, got nil).
Downloaded the latest updates from NIK and have same error.

None of the Nik plugins would open after installing LR5.4

I had LR 5.3 installed and I downloaded the LR5.4 update this afternoon on my Win 7 64 bit Desktop, and afterwards none of the Nik plugins would open and l got an AppCrash error. I uninstalled my current version of Nik, rebooted and download again from the site and installed the newer version of Nik. This did not fix the problem and I have not found any postings with a fix. I then booted my Win8 64 bit Laptop still running LR 5.3 and the Nik Collection works fine. I think LR 5.4 upgrade broke the Nik plugins.
I probably will have to backout the LR5.4 upgrade so that my plugins will work as I need all my software working for this weekend.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, do you have a fix.

Under Windows when you install a new version of LR it makes a new version specific folder in Program Files. Your old one is still there. You need to drill down and find the plugins folder in the old version and copy everything to the new plugins folder. A restart of Lr should find the plugins. For some reason Adobe does not install over the top of the last install. It may be a good thing but the plugin installers do their install and Adobe does not migrate their stuff. Under new versions of Windows you'll need to be an Admin to mess with program files folder stuff.It's just another thing to trip you up.
It's not that nobody knows but it's two different companies. Doing the above worked for me. It may not be perfect but it beats not having it. Photomatix has a stand alone so you don't need the plugin but it's still nice.

Upgrade Dramas 3.4.5 - NIK Plugins

Hi,
Had the usual upgrade to Aperture 3.4.5 dramas and sorted it out with a reinstall and some swearing. Then my NIK plugins got knocked out. NIK were kind enough to link me to the full new suite. Guess what? They all crash. BOOOO!!!
Still waiting on word from them, anyone with similar dramas?
I'm more of a hobbyist so I'm not sitting on dealine jobs, but still quite frustrated.
Thanks

Re: Nik Software

Thanks Pabli, I too contacted Nik and they sent me the following instructions, which failed to work
Maybe you will have better luck.
Thank you for contacting Nik Software. HDR Efex Pro 2 and Color Efex Pro 4 take 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.
In order to resolve this, the first measure would be to update the Display Adapters or GPU driver. 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.
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 the plug-ins to not use the GPU (safe-mode). In order to disable the GPU in the plug-ins, please do the following in each one:
If you are able to open the program 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 the program (click Cancel), quit out of any and all host applications (Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture), and then relaunch HDR Efex Pro 2 or Color Efex Pro 4 to see if this corrects this issue.
If you are unable to disable the GPU via Settings or if the issue has not been resolved (e.g. HDR Efex Pro 2 or Color Efex Pro 4 crashes or the buttons are not displaying correctly), please try the following steps below after quitting out of all host applications (Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture):
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 : HDR Efex Pro 2
Locate the file, HDREfexPro2.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 HDR Efex Pro 2 and see if the issue has been resolved.
Then, for Color Efex Pro 4:
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 : Color Efex Pro 4
Locate the file, ColorEfexPro4.cfg and right-click and choose "open with..." and then click "Choose" and then locate the applications, "Text Edit" 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 Color Efex Pro 4 and see if the issue has been resolved.

From Google
Navigate to your Applications folder and open your Font Book as seen below.
2. Scroll up to the Arial fonts (A), select the drop down triangle to view it's contents (B).
3.Select any duplicates, hold your mouse over them to check their path(C).
4.Any fonts located in the "Path: Library/Fonts/'name of arial font" should be kept (such as the example above).
5.Duplicate fonts in any other location, such as the example below, should be removed by right-clicking (or control-clicking) and selecting "Remove 'Font Name'".
Examples of incorrect locations that should be removed are:
-Path: Users/ 'username'/Library /Fonts
-Path: Library/Fonts/Microsoft
6. Please repeat this process for all 'Arial' font duplicates, such as Arial Black, Arial Hebrew, etc.
7.Once all duplicate Arial fonts have been removed, please quit font book and restart your system.
If the crashing continues, then please let me know which of the plug-ins cause Aperture to crash. Is it all six, or is it just a few of them? This information will be helpful to continue troubleshooting.

I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8?

I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

1) Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard!

Since the upgrade to CC 2014 via Creative Cloud, I'm ending up with both version of all my Adobe CC products, and I lost my plugins in Photoshop CC 2014.

Hello
Since the upgrade to CC 2014 via Creative Cloud, I'm ending up with both version of all my Adobe CC products, and I lost my plugins in Photoshop CC 2014.
How can I fix this ?

I did it by going to my old Photoshop CC Plugins folder and copying it aand then pasteing it in the Phtoshop CC 2014 folder. All mine came back and worked.

Lightroom,Nik plugins and color spaces

I'm having an issue and not sure who is holding the smoking gun. I have the Nik ultimate collection installed which covers Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 extended. I work primarily in Lightroom and apply most corrections globally but occasionally i need to do localized adjustments so the photo gets shipped off to Photoshop. Here's a typical scenario:
1) From Lightroom edit in Dfine 2.0 for noise - as copy with Lightroom adjustments which gets copied as a tiff.
2) From Lightroom edit in Viveza 2 - as original since we're now working with a tiff and I don't want a copy for every single thing I'm doing.
3) Edit in Photoshop
Now there's two issues at this point:
1) The edits do not show up in the Lightroom history - it's like nothing happened.
2) Photoshop will complain that the assigned profile is sRGB. Really?
#1 is a PITA because if I want to rewind I have to start all over since there's no history - what exactly is responbsible to set an edit as history? Lightroom or the plugin?
#2 is by far the most serious as it degrades the work in a seriously bad manner. I mean, WTH - I'm moving along in ProPhoto Ferrarri space and all of a sudden - *boom* - I'm running in sRGB moped mode.
I looked at edit->Preferences->External Editing -> Additional External Editor and indeed when I select the Nik plugins from the combo box preferences the default for the plugins is sRGB. I can change to ProPhoto and quit. I repeated this for each plugin assuming that somewhere the setting was remembered. Nope LR acts dumb as a rock and shows sRGB as the defaults for all except the currently selected plugin.
So my questions are:
- who's gonna own up to the problem - LR or Nik?
- how can I work around it?
- how can I make LR remember the settings? Not a registry key nor INI file in sight to set them - so where/how are the plugins tracked?
Thanks for any help!
Jon

Jon,
The User Interface for changing how external editors are invoked is about as smart as your average chunk of granite.
After you change the Color Space to the one you want, you have to click on the Preset box and choose "Save current settings as new preset...". Not exactly intuitive, but there you are.

How do I find the home page to update plugins? Google Update, Google Earth Plugin, Windows Live Photo Gallery. I have been to the Google plugins page and found nothing. Thank you. .

I am using Window 7 and Firefox 5.0.1

Google Update, Google Earth Plugin, Windows Live Photo Gallery Plugin all show up as unkown plugins in the Plugin check. Windows Live Photo Gallery is part of Windows Live Essentials.
I searched the Microsoft Web-site in general and specifically Windows Live Photo Gallery and could any version numbers. My current version of Windows Live Photo Gallery Plugin is shown as 15.4.3508.1109 last updated Novmber 10, 2010. I did an internet search and this appears to be the version number for Window Live Essentials 2011. Filecluster.com lists the latest version of Windows Live Photo Gallery as 15.4.3538.0513 updated on Jul 07, 2011. I can find no versions or dates for the plugin.
Thanks.
