Nik plug-ins won't work in PSE 12

First let me say the main problem lies with my computer.  It is underpowered for photo editing.  Nevertheless I can usually do what I need with PSE10.  Nik mostly works there in .tif, occasionally  I need to convert to jpeg.  Nik doesn't work at all in PSE 12, as soon as I hit "save" the image disappears, even takes down Elements with it. Also, I tried to run full version Photoshop but my computer said "no." I use Lightroom 4 without problems.
I am maxed out at 16 Gb of ram.  Hopefully a new computer is on the horizon, but not likely for months.
Does anyone know why  PSE 12 crashes and PSE 10 dosen't?

One more thing.  Nik worked fine in Lightroom 5, go figure.  There doesn't seem to be an update per see, but the reinstall seems to work.
I am disappointed that Sony doesn't work a little harder to make sure their ARW (RAW) files will open in these Adobe products.  Both Zoner Studio and Picassa will open ARW without updates!  Lightroom 4 aqnd PSE 10 are seviceable but I resent the extra steps with.dng conversion or having to buy newer software.
Thanks again for the swift reply and all the help.

  • Plug-ins won't work with aperture 3.5.1

    Just updated to aperture 3.5.1 and now none of my plug-ins won't work what can I do to fix this problem. Any help woud be great.

    How do they not work, error message, crash, etc?
    What plugin and want Aperture and OS versions did you upgrade from?
    In general if after an upgrade you have a problem like this you should check the developer sites for updated plugins designed to work with the new version of OS and Aperture.

  • Upgraded and now plug ins won't work

    I recently upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 and further to FCP 6.0.4. Now certain plug ins won't work--such as Magic Bullet Looks, Core Melt Editing Pack and Slick FX.
    Any ideas on what I can do to get things working again?
    Thanks!

    Check with the vendor for each of the plugins to see if they have an update or upgrade available to make them compatible with your version of FCP, QT and OS.

  • Re installed photoshop CS5 onto new computer & now plug ins won't work?

    I recently bought a new computer & re-installed photoshop CS5.1 successfully, but can't get the plug ins to work (phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3, which were a free download with purchase). I am running windows 7 64bit. I copied & pasted them into the plug ins folder (in both applications of photoshop - there is the 32 bit version on 'program files (x86)' & the 64 bit version in 'program files'), but neither will work.

    You probably won't get those plugins to work by just copying them.
    I'd remove the plugins that you copied and pasted and use the phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3 plugin installers, as they probably install some other files besides just the plugin itself.

  • Plug-ins won't work...need help

    i just bought Eureka plug-ins volume 4, i was wondering if any knows how to get them to work, I have them downloaded but am not sure how to import them in to FC, and when I open one I get the error "FILE ERROR WRONG TYPE", can anyone help>?
    Power Book G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Did you put them in the correct place? [boot drive]/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
    The next time you launch FCP after putting them in that folder, they should show up in FCP Video Filters folder in the Browser.
    -DH
    EDIT: I should add that I don't know what plugins are compatible with FCP 5.1, but the above should work for earlier version.

  • Which iTunes plug-ins won't work in 64 bit mode?

  • Integrating Nik plug-ins into an Aperture workflow

    Hi. In his response to a [posted question|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2746051&tstart=0] about noise reduction, forum guru William Lloyd spoke highly of the Nik plug-ins.
    I also like them alot, but have stopped using them and don't recommend them because they do not integrate into my Aperture workflow in any usable way. The suite of plug-ins (there are six, iirc) are designed to be used step-wise -- and therein lies the problem. Because of what I take to be a glitch in Aperture, any changes made within Aperture to an image edited and returned by a plug-in are lost when that image is sent back out to another plug-in. (The work-around is klugly: you have to create a new Version prior to every use of a plug-in other than the first use.)
    I love the Nik tools (and paid dear for them), but haven't been able to find the right place for them on my workbench. William -- or anyone -- how have you integrated the Nik plug-ins into your Aperture workflow?
    I am considering "upgrading" my Nik suite to the Photoshop edition in order to take advantage of all the tools. I'm pretty sure used w. Photoshop, the tools create editable layers. The upgrade, however, doubles the already expensive cost of the suite (and the Aperture→Photoshop→Nik→Photoshop→Nik→Photoshop→Nik→Photoshop→Aperture trip is sure to be cumbersome).
    My goal is simple: to be able to take full advantage of the Nik tools while taking full advantage of Aperture. Any advice greatly appreciated.
    TIA, and cheers.

  • Why are frame sizes increasing after editing with Nik plug-ins?

    I’m using the Nik Collection of plug-ins with Aperture, and have discovered that the frame size of the resulting edits always end up larger than the original - sometimes much larger.
    The original image starts as 4592 x 3448 but after editing, the longest side of the resulting image is typically over 5000, 6000 or even 7000 pixels. 
    I recently worked on a cropped image that started at 4138 x 2759 and ended up at 7361 x 4908, after editing with a combination of Dfine, Viveza, Color Efex + Silver Efex.  If I export a version during the editing process, and then carry out futher editing, the frame size increases again.
    I’m exporting from Aperture using the TIFF - Original Size (16 bit) setting. 
    Can anyone tell me what’s going on here?  I’m concerned that the quality of the images is being compromised by the enlargement. 
    I'm using the latest set of Nik plug-ins, with Aperture 3.2.4 on a MBP running 10.6.8

    Keli
    In order to open Aperture in 32-bit mode by default you can right-click on the application icon, select "Get Info" and check the box marked "Open In 32-bit Mode" (or you can continue to run it by default in 64-bit mode and just get forced to re-open the app anytime you need to use plug-ins that can only run in 32-bit mode).
    hope this helps!

  • Plug-ins Don't Work in Reader XI; Work Fine in Reader X

    We're looking to upgrade from Reader 9.x to Reader XI.  A bunch of us in IT have been running Reader X without issue for some time so we didn't anticipate any problems with XI. I tested the upgrade process on a machine with 9.x and although it worked fine, none of our add-ins worked.  I performed the following on a machine with XI with no positive results:
    Performed repair or 'modify' installations of the applications in question that load add-ins/plug-ins into Adobe
    I verified the .API files were in in the proper location
    One plugin (caseMap) goes into reader\plug_ins
    Another plugin (Interwoven) goes into reader\plug_ins\Interwoven
    Verified protected mode was disabled via registryreg add "HKEY_USERS\DefUser\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\Privileged" /v bProtectedMode /t reg_dword /d 0 /f
    Again: Going from 9.x to X we don't have a problem, and usually adding the .API file is all that's necessary to get the plug-in working again.  But when going from 9.x to XI or X to XI, the plug-ins no longer work.
    Has something drastically changed between X and XI that would make these add-ins cease to function?
    I've reached out to the vendors & am awaiting responses.  In the mean time, is there anything I failed to check or something else I can do?

    Thanks for the response.
    We tend to not assume it'll work & blindly fire off updates.  You see, when we (IT Only) upgaded to X from 9, the new 'protected mode' feature caught us off guard.  We assumed we had done something wrong with the packaging and so spent a few days making sure we crossed our t's and dotted our i's before escalating to the vendors.  And when we reached out they came back with a very simple "ohh yeah just check off a box", making us feel a bit foolish.  I wanted to be sure there wasn't some other new measure put in place to further try to secure Reader.
    As it turns out,
    LexisNexis had to update their package for CaseMap 10 for Reader XI, and they have no plans to patch earlier versions.
    Autonomy / Interwoven is set to release FileSite 8.5 SP3 Update 6 in Q1 which will support XI.
    As you stated, vendors have to produce updates.

  • Strange behavior after using NIK plug-ins

    Every once in a while I encounter this strange behavior of Aperture. I first process the NEF's in Aperture (white balance, Exposure, Enhance... and, when needed, Cropping) and then I fine tune the image with the NIK plug-ins; when needed DfIne 2.0, Viveza, Color Efex Pro 3.0 and Sharpener Pro 3.0 Output Sharpener.
    If I look at the processed picture then, I get a perfect presentation of the photo;
    !http://users.skynet.be/fc419085/Aperture-1.jpg!
    But when I press Z to zoom into a 100% preview I get this;
    !http://users.skynet.be/fc419085/Aperture-2.jpg!
    When I select the Loup in the normal view mode I get this;
    !http://users.skynet.be/fc419085/Aperture-3.jpg!
    This doesn't happen with all my pictures, yesterday I processed a series of 8 pictures an 6 of them showed this behavior the other two acted normal and I can't see what I did differently whit these last two.
    When I export the strangely behaving photo's to a Tiff or a Jpeg, I get perfectly normal pictures.
    The original NEF behaves normal. I have seen this behavior with NEF's from a Nikon D200, D2x and a D300. I have Aperture 2.1.2 running on a 2.33 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.6
    Does anybody know what's happening and if so, how to solve this problem?
    Cheers,
    Ivan

    I did some testing and what I found is too weird to be true.
    First this mashed up look doesn't only happen after using NIK plug-ins, it also happens when making a roundtrip to Photoshop, given that certain conditions are met.
    Give it a try yourself. Crop an image to an uneven pixelcount dimension, for example 4227 x 2797 and make a roundtrip to Photoshop. Then have a 100% view look at the new image in Aperture. You'll have a mashed up view, at least I do.
    Now crop the same original image to an even pixelcount dimension, for example 4228 x 2798 and make an roundtrip to Photoshop once more. When you have a 100% view of the new image now, you'll see a perfectly normal photo.
    Do you think Aperture developers are reading this forum?

  • Error regarding plug-ins/won't open - unpackaged file is 4 GB - which is huge

    When I open a certain file (which has not had any issues) it gives me an error regarding plug-ins/won't open. The odd part is that the unpackaged file is 4 GB - which is huge. The file also doesn't contain that much information to be that size.

    1. Super appreciate your help.
    2. It is saved on my desktop - there are no .idlk files
    3. I sent the file to another person and they cannot open it
    4. The concern is that it is a 4 GB file - which is not normal for an unpackaged file - does that not seem large? Generally even the most populated of docs is in the MB category
    5. All other files open fine
    6. I copied and pasted under a new name, rebooted a billion times
