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?

    Google updated the plugins recently to correct this problem:

    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:

  • Lightroom 5 - Nik Color efex Pro 3.0

    Hallo zusammen,
    ich habe Lightroom 5 auf meine MacBook Pro installiert.
    Jetzt versuche ich die Nik-Filter einzubinden (was laut Nik funktioniert).
    Ich gehe über "Voreinstellungen". "Externe Bearbeitung".
    Wenn ich dann auf den Ordner gehe, in dem ich die Nik-Filter gespeichert habe, ist keine Datei so hinterlegt, dass ich sie einbinden kann.
    Hat von euch schon jemand diese oder ähnliche Filter eingebunden?
    Danke für eure Unterstützung.
    fotofranziskus

    Hallo Axel,
    danke für deine Unterstützung.
    Mit einbinden meine ich, dass ich die Filter so in LR5 integriere, dass ich die Filter direkt in LR5 verwenden kann.
    So nutze ich sie heute in Photoshop Elements 11.
    Der Support von Franzis (NIK Filter) hat mir empfohlen, die Filter als externes Bearbeitunsprogramm einzubinden.
    Bei diesem Versuch gibt es bei dem Ordner, den die NIK Filter während der Installation angelegt hat, keine Datei, die sich einbinden lasst. Hierzu suche ich eine Lösung.
    Auch PSE11 hat die Filter nicht erkannt. Ich habe sie dort in den Plug-ins Ordner installiert.
    Ich habe in der Hoffnung gepostet, dass es in LR5 eine vergleichbare Lösung gibt.
    Freundliche Grüße

  • 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.

  • 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 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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").

  • Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 not recognized in PS CS 5.1

    During Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 installation, only LR3 x64 listed as host application, Photoshop CS 5.1 x64 was not. Manually adding PS to the host application list resulted in shortcuts being created in the PS directory, but PS will only open the standalone version of SEP when launched from Plug-in->Nik->SEP. I've checked the shortcut path and it is correctly pointed to the SEP x64 plug-in file for PS. Does anyone having trouble to get SEP2 to work in PS CS 5.1? BTW, LR3 plug-in is working perfectly fine. 

    Photoshop CS5.1 is the version that ships with CS 5.5.  It's also known as 12.1.  To make matters even more confusing, for Photoshop CS5 users the 12.0.4 update is functionally identical to 12.1 except for the ability to license it via subscription.
    And even funnier, behind the scenes and under the covers, the pre-release versions used different registry keys than the final release, making it even harder for people developing plug-ins to get their installers right.
