Merging Nik HDR Efex Pro 2 into CC

When I select my images in Br and then try to merge them in Nik HDR Efex Pro 2, nothing happens other than CC in open with a blank screen.

I notice I failed to list my system...Late-2012 i7 iMac, 3TB Fusion, OS X 10.9.3, 32GB RAM.
Update.  Google has confirmed the problem and I find it also exists in Photoshop CC 2014.
After some testing I've discovered a slightly inconvenient work around that works in Photoshop CC 2014, I haven't tested it in Photoshop CC
A 'simple' work around is to select Preferences->Performance... then uncheck "Use Graphics Processor", click OK to exit preferences,  select Preferences->Performance... and check the "Use Graphics Processor" box again, quit Photoshop, restart Photoshop.  The brush pattern is again shown.

  • LR5 Export to Nik HDR Efex Pro 2

    Win 7, 64 bit, LR5.2RC, Nik HDR Efe Pro 2....
    From Export > HDR Efex Pro 2 it used to pause at a screen providing three choices (from memory), "as copy with LR adjustments", "as copy without LR adjustments" or "as orignal".  Now it skips that screen and goes direct to HDR Efex Pro 2 and I think it is defaulting to "copy with LR adjustments". 
    I must have checked a box that said "don't show again"!
    How do I get that screen back?
    Thanks.

  • Nik HDR Efex Pro Crashes Aperture

    I am using all the Nik plugins with Aperture 3.1, but HDR Efex Pro crashes Aperture about 1/3 of the time on my iMac. Nik says the cause is probably a corrupt file in my user account, and there is a basis for this since I can run HDR Efex Pro on my MacBook Pro or using a new user account without a problem. I think that Nik should also accept some responsibility since this is the only program that crashes Aperture. Does anyone else have a fix for this other than doing a clean install of OS X?
    Thanks -

    Hi I also have this problem with HDR Efex Pro for me it seems that it crashes every 2nd or 3de set of photo's that I am opening. It says that my memory is to full. I've looked at my memory in activity monitor while i am working and it does not seems that my Memory is emptying after every time I've finished a set of HDR series. It is big files and my memory is then full very fast and then system crash. So I don't know why does the files that I've worked with stay full and does not empty itself. HDR Efex Pro is the only Nik software that I find makes my Aperture Crash.

  • NIK HDR Efex Pro 2 anomaly with Photoshop CC

    Every time I use HDR Efex Pro 2 to create a HDR when I return to Photoshop CC the preview in brush size/hardness is missing.
    To recreate the error, execute Photoshop CC, open 5 files to create a HDR.  Select one of the files and while pressing Control and Option click and drag on the image.  Notice that the brush outline also displays a pattern, default is red, showing the brush area.
    Execute HDR Efex from Photoshop CC, create the HDR, select vignette from the Landscape set of presets.  Return to Photoshop CC. Select any brush and while pressing Control and Option click and drag on the image.  Notice that the brush outline shows but the brush pattern is no longer presented.
    The only way I've found to restore the pattern is to either delete the Photoshop CC presets or copy a good preset file over the faulty one.
    Anyone have an idea on how to fix this problem without copying a file?  I've already reported this to Google, but haven't received an answer from them yet.

  • Merge to HDR efex pro.

    The window is malfunctioning.  I can adjust the image but cannot save or accept changes to return to the CS5 window.  When I adjust the window size it doesn't help.  Ive attached a screen shot.  This happened previously and I don't remember how I go around it.

    I'm not so sure it's a Nik issue right now.
    I tried an older version of HDR Efex with CS 5 and it froze. New version with CS5 and 6 froze as well. However, two weeks ago my old versions worked fine before the reformat.

  • Ps CC plug-in: Nik/Google HDR Efex Pro 2 - Deadly Problem

    I know this is the Photoshop forum, but Google has no user forum for the Nik Software Photoshop-plug-in products Google recently acquired.
    Nik's HDR Efex Pro 2 is a great piece of software, but as of today, it crashes on load, then brings Photoshop CC (v. 14.1.1 x64 on Mac OS X 10.8.4) to its knees as well.  :-(
    I visited the Nik support page, and did everything it suggested, including disabling any GPU processing, via altering the HDR Efex Pro 2 .cgf file. - No joy.
    I am basically stuck with a GREAT little $100 piece of software that no longer works. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    SOLVED.
    I sent a support email to Nik Software/Google, and they sent me a link to the new "Nik Collection" which I downloaded and am now using for FREE (no additional charge over what I paid Nik a few months ago) -- this includes the Photoshop plugin, HDR Efex Pro 2, that stopped working. All works perfectly now. Thanks, Google.

  • Aperture constantly crashing - esp. with HDR Efex Pro

    I'm running Aperture 3.1.1 and OS 10.6.6. I've deleted the Aperture prefs, rebuilt the photo library, reinstalled Aperture, reinstalled OS 10.6.6, run all of the tests and repairs in Disk Utility and Onyx, and Aperture still crashes at frequent intervals whenever I'm editing - usually when painting something in or out with brushes. By far the most consistent crash is whenever I try to edit a photo with the HDR Efex Pro plug-in. I also get the spinning ball a lot, at fairly random intervals. The funny thing is that the HDR Efex Pro plug-in seems to work fine if I open Aperture in another user account although unfortunately my photo library is in my standard account and I'm reluctant to relocate it just to get a working version of Aperture. I've done everything suggested in Nik's FAQs (eg. deleting duplicate fonts), but nothing works. The Nik people have said I have a corruption in my user file which is beyond the scope of their support. I'm running a 24" 2.8GHz iMac with 4GB of RAM and about 20GB of free hard disk space. Aperture hasn't encountered many problems before recently, so my setup seems to have enough power. I have about 15,000 photos in the library (after importing my iPhoto library recently - by reference only) and the Aperture library is about 140Gb in size. If anyone has any suggestions for a fix, I'd be very grateful as I've run out of ideas. Thanks

    Hi, I am no expert in Aperture 3 However just like you I had many issues and crashes of A3. My system is almost identical to yours and my A3 problems were the same as you. Like you, I tried all the fixes but still no luck. Yesterday, I went into my A3 Pref's / Previews & I changed the setting for "share with ilife and iwork" to never.
    I haven't had a problem since but only time will tell if this is a total fix.
    Good luck,

  • HDR Efex Pro 2 not working in LR5

    When I open HDR Efex Pro 2 from the "Edit With…" choices, LR duplicates each RAW file as a tiff. In this case, 3 images. All works as expected, except when it's time to save. My other Nik apps return a tiff file and stack it with the originals in LR. HDR Efex opens a "Save" dialog box asking for the location. Checked settings in HDR Efex and "Stack" is turned on.
    I do know the trick of pointing LR toward some external apps for editing. LR Prefs>Choose the Additional External Editor, clear it, point to the app with the "Choose" button, then save it as a new preset with its own name. I did have to do this with Silver Efex Pro and possibly one other app, and they function as they're supposed to afterward. I've tried reinstalling the whole Nik collection to no avail.
    Any recommendation would be most appreciated.

    So, I found the answer myself after some extensive research (and sadly after processing 100 images the wrong way). HDR Efex Pro 2 doesn't work like any other external editor. To work properly you have to use File>Export with Preset and choose it. That prevents generating the extra tiff files and returns the HDR processed file to its proper place in the folder or collection.

  • 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.

  • Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 not recognized in PS CS6

    hi
    I'm having problems with Silver Efex Pro 2 after upgrading to PS CS6, worked fine in older versions of PS..
    Downloaded the latest installer from Nik Software..
    The installer only find my Lightroom 4.1 when installing, and I have to add CS6 manually (locating the plugin folder, also tried other folders).
    It works fine in LR4.1, but in PS, the software opens, I apply changes, and clik OK, NIK closes, but nothing happens to my image. The history tab says "Silver Efex Pro 2", but no layers/changes to the original image..
    64bits WIN7 Enterprise, 12GB ram
    Please help!

    I've had frustrations with installing Nik Silver Efex Pro 2, as well as other plugins, into both Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CS5 several times, on both of my computers, each running Windows 7 (64-bit). I believe I have figured out why, and it turns out in my case it is my human error.
    The bottom line is that the default installation of both of these PHOTOSHOP versions result in a double Photoshop program installation - one as Photoshop 32-bit version, and one as Photoshop 64-bit version. So Photoshop itself is installed twice, in two different locations on the computer. One installation is under the folder location: "C:/Program Files/Adobe", and the other Photoshop installation is under the folder location: "C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe". 64 bit versions of plugins should be installed into the former of the two Photoshop folder locations - the one that is found under "C:/Program Files/Adobe". The Silver Efex Pro 2 plugin needs to be installed (or copied from a previous install) into the Photoshop "Plug-ins" folder of the correct Photoshop version.
    So my problem was caused by installing Silver Efex Pro 2 into the wrong Photoshop version "Plug-ins" folder, and therefore I couldn’t find it under the Filters menu in Photoshop.
    I've also experienced the problem described by the original poster above (Aremark1984) - about Silver Efex Pro 2 being apparently available within Photoshop in the Filters menu, appearing to function normally but not creating a new layer within Photoshop once Silver Efex closes and returns the edited image to Photoshop. In my case, as Aremark1984 describes, I had manually installed Silver Efex by copying it's folder from the Photoshop CS5 "Plug-ins" folder to the Photoshop CS6 "Plug-ins" folder. However I had wrongly copied a sub-folder of the Silver Efex program, rather than the parent folder. The folder that needs to be copied for a manual install is titled "Nik Software" (not "Silver Efex Pro 2").

  • Help with Nik HDR Efex

    I have searched the entire LR4 Beta program and I can not determine how/where to have LR4 save my HDR  Tiff results. Once I process the shots in HDR Efex Pro, I save the shot, but it doesn't appear to inport back into LR4. Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Wm.

    OK. Really confused now. When I right-click on the first (of the three bracketed) shots, and then choose "show in finder", I can see and open the tiff HDR file. So the question is why can't I see the file in the LR4 browser? If it's stacked, I can't find the appropriate action to unstack - I just see the three raw files in LR4. Any help is appreciated.

  • Photoshop CC + HDR Efex Pro 2 = crash

    but if I order HDR Efex 2 Pro out of CS6 - anything works.
    Nik-Software don't really know an solution, so anybody here has an Idea?
    Thank you

    With previous versions of PS, I was using HDR Efex Pro 2 as a filter on a smart object ... with 32-bit files.
    With CC, it works on 16-bit and 8-bit files as before.
    It only crashes with 32-bit files now.
    If you have a 32-bit file in CC, all the items in the layer menu are grayed, unselectable.
    Is it normal?
    I uninstalled CS6, so I can't compare ...
    But, I think that there is a problem in CC for 32-bit files.
