Nik plugin and 3 weird problem

I know about the 32bit issue with the nik plugins but when I try and use any of the nik plugins I get an error message"Editing Error this message cannot be rendered for editing becuase Aperture does not support the image"
The images are Nikon RAW work fine with A3 in 32 or 64 bit mode, but with none of the Nik software. Nik support says it is an Apple problem but can not find anywhere but here to find a solution. Anyone have any idea what is going on ?
I have tried in 64 bit with it switching 32bit and also forcing it to 32bit mode in get info.
john

a friend of mine is having similar problem with a BorderFX plugin. initially we thought because of 32-bit plugin but after upgrading to 64-bit version, A3 still wouldn't render preview from the images manipulated from the plugin. have tried turning off the generating preview option from A3 preference?
it might reset the A3 preview setting.

  • NIK Plugins and Shortcuts assignments

    I installed the NIK Plugins without any problems. Tried to assign some shortcuts but i can't seem to find them in the command groups when opening the customize keyboard command editor.
    Under Main Menu Commands->Images Menu they had no entries. The only entry is the "Open in external Editor".
    I could do the assignments in a previous aperture installation easily. What's going on here?
    Thanks
    frank

    it has worked for me to do that ...
    are they showing under the image -> edit with ... in the main workspace ??? what i am getting at, is are you able to see them normally and use them ???

  • Problem With Nik Plugins and Lightroom 4.3

    I bought a Drobo Mini and moved my photos and my Lightroom Catalog onto it.  The reason I did this was because I just bought a MacBook Pro laptop to supplement my Mac Pro Desktop and I wanted to be able to use both computers with the Drobo Mini and not have to constantly be importing Catalogs back and forth.  This was a solution that Tim Grey recommended.  The advantage is I can take the Drobo Mini with me on the road and add my new photos directly to the Catalog when I'm traveling, and then when I get home, I can just hook up the Drobo Mini to the Mac Pro Desktop and continue with my work.  The problem I've encountered is with my Nik plugins Color Efex Pro 4 and Silver Efex Pro 2.  On the new computer everything works fine.  On the desktop computer I can't go directly from Lightroom into Color Efex Pro 4 or Silver Efex Pro 2 for the new photos initially downloaded from the new computer.  For all my photos downloaded through the old computer, both computers work fine.  Only the new computer works with the Nik Filters for the new photos.  Also, if I go over to Photoshop from Lightroom, the new photos won't let me just hit "Save" and exit Photoshop.  Instead, I have to designate a location for the "Save" as if I was doing a "Save As" and then it doesn't show up in Lightroom unless I import it again.  I'm trying to get some answers from Nik but I thought maybe someone on this forum might know what is causing this problem??  Any help greatly appreciated.

  • 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.

  • NIK Plugins and window position

    Hi folks,
    i installed the NIK Plugin Suite. Everythings works fine until i open let's say color efex pro. The menubar goes behind the aperture menubar and i'm not able to click on it to resize color efex.
    resize is only possible dragging the lower right corner to minimize color efex.
    After restarting it it's centered on the screen but to small to use it. Resizing it is now possible but after a new start the same thing again. Menubar is covered by the aperture menubar.
    btw: i resintalled color efex pro several times. even did an aperture reinstall....No success
    The same strange behavior when i'm running silver efex or viveza. What's going on here?
    Didn't have any problems with a previous installation.
    I use the latest version of aperture (2.1.2) and osx 10.5.6 and the latetst version of the NIK plugins
    Any suggestions?
    kind regards
    frank

    Had the same thing happen to me. Asked Nik Software. This is their reply:
    +To correct this issue go to the following location on your Mac:+
    +Macintosh HD | Users | <your user name> | Library | Preferences+
    +Find the file called, com.niksoftware.sep.aperture_edit.prefs+
    +Do a control + click to the file and click open With >Other… and then choose the TextEdit application.+
    +In TextEdit, for DialogX= and DialogY= change the numbers to 20. So it will say DialogX=20 and DialogY=20 for example. Then for DialogWidth= change to 800 and for DialogHeight= change to 600. Now save this file and close it.+
    +Next open the file, com.niksoftware.cep3Complete.aperture_edit.prefs and do the same thing as above.+
    +Now reopen Aperture and select an image, then bring up Silver Efex Pro or Color Efex Pro 3.0 to see if that corrects the issue. If you still cannot resize it, go back and change the number to another higher or lower value until you can see the title bar.+
    It may be that there is a better solution. In my case once I made the correction I can now deal with it. In my case I use a second monitor. When I start any of the Nik plugins the top right part of the window including the window bar overlaps into the external monitor. I can grab it there and move it to the larger external monitor and resize it.
    This pretty darn annoying and I was hoping that Nik would make the necessary changes. Especially given no one else seems to have the issue and that the plugins are not cheap. They very useful though.
    Cheers... John

  • 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.

  • Bea JSP workshop plugin- and MyEclipse - problems

    I have been using Bea workshop studio eclipse plugin ( JSP part) with MyEclipse. Bea JSP workshop( with Struts) is a very good product-- better than My Eclipse JSP's .
    I had been using MyEclipse (Build id: 20060810-5.0.1-GA windows )with BEA JSP workshop version 3.2.1 with no problems. This combination works well.
    I reinstalled the latest versions of eclipse/myeclipse/BEA workshop for struts
    and now things are not working well.
    Right clicking on the navigator and package explorer in the different perspectives ( JAVA, MyEclipse, BEA workshop studio does not always work
    To reproduce the problem install Eclipse 3.2 then MyEclispe version 20061111-5.1.0-GA , then BEA JSP workshop studio - trial version 3.3 . Try and right click on an item in the navigator and package explorer -- change to different perspectives --JAVA, MYEclipse , BEA Workshop for Struts and try to right click again.
    THen uninstall BEA Workshop . The problem goes away.
    Hank

    FYI
    I received this reply from MyEclipse:
    "MyEclipse uses the patched WTP. You have installed WTP that has been included in BEA Workshop.
    The easiest way to solve this issue is to disable BEA's WTP. MyEclipse's WTP is compatible with BEA Workshop."
    I updated to eclipse 3.2.1 and disabled BEA's WTP and everything seems to be working OK.

  • 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   
    Regards
    Michael

  • Can't get rid of ads by Browse to Save and I've disabled all plugins and add-ons

    In Firefox, on my FaceBook page and yahoo mail, there are Browse to Save ads everywhere! They are driving me insane. I disabled all add-onos and plugins and the problem remains. I clicked on on the ad and went to browse to save's site where they say they tell you how to uninstall it, but there is no way to uninstall it because it doesn't show up in plugins or add-ons. Help!

    'browse to save' goes by a few names apparently-
    mine called itself Vaudix (uninstalled it and problem is gone)
    other names include Yontoo apparently
    hope that helps- my first and only ? post!

  • 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.

    @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.

  • Is there a known problem with Nik Software Plugins and PSE10

    I replaced my PC with a new 64-bit Windows 7 workstation. Have used PSE10 for a while for my cataloging and editing and I did 'trial' individual Nik Software plugins on my old Vista PC for a while. I decided to purchase the Nik Software collection and also to take the plunge and go to Lightroom 4 as well. I put PSE10 on my new PC as well because I want to consider how I might modify my workflow to use both in conjunction (perhaps LR4 for cataloging and PSE10 for editing)
    When it came to installing Nik Software Plugins (they are supposed to plugin to Elements and LR4) it seemed to find some of the plugins compatible with both PSE10 and LR4 , some compatible with one of them and some not compatable (apparently) with either, but installed them anyway. But when I use PSE10 now I cannot go from the Organizer into the Editor, it loads the editor interface but not the image. If you open PSE Editor directly and open an image, the image will load and you see 4 of the plugins and I invoke them but the changes dont seem to get applied in PSE10. Then I started reading up on the  web ..... and the consensus seems to be it is not a Nik Software issue but an Abobe editor plugin issue.
    On a side issue, the retailer I bought Nik Software from sent me no product keys (they sent me Apple Aperture keys) - now they are about to replace my delivery with a fresh issue and proper keys ... but if I run into the same problems again, I dont know what to do. This leads me to looking for some definitive advice from those in the know!
    Should I forget about buying Nik Software plugins altogether?
    I see a download is available for LR4-2 .. does anyone know if this fixes Nik Plugin issues there?
    I am minded to go the route of using LR4 as my cataloging preference but to call PSE10 Editor for editing and have all my plugins operate out of PSE10, but I could not get the plugins to work with PSE10 as mentioned. How does one get them to work?
    Is there some workaround or special "way" or "order" to install things ???
    I'm still waiting days for some support from Nik Software ... but they are just going to say there is nothing wrong with their product (and the web seems to concur)
    Any help would be appreciated on the PSE10 Issue.

    17/10/2012. I installed the update - Lightroom 4.2
    It keeps the same product key and found the catalog and the Windows Control Panel only seems V4.2 so the original has been replaced with this upgrade.
    This would be the first time I put down Lightroom  with Photoshop Elements  V.10 already there on the system and I suspect this might have helped with better integration between the 2 products.
    I made sure I then opened Photoshop Elements V10 and I could edit an image (that the Organizer invocation to Photoshop Elements Editor did sucessfully load the image) and I could use existing plugins like Topaz and Noiseware. Also I made sure Lightroom  4.2 could use "Edit with Photoshop Elements " and it did.
    The supplier who had sent me the wrong Nik Software product keys, sent me a corrected version with product keys for Lightroom
    Several web articles I read on Nik Software plugins may be misleading (for example there is one on DPReview) which state that Nik Software plugins are compatable with Photoshop (the main product) but are NOT compatable with Photoshop Elements v10. I can tell anyone who uses Photoshop Elements 10 that they ARE compatable with Photoshop Elements 10, but it can be a little tricky to get them going.
    This is how I sucessfully managed to get the Nik Software Plug-ins
    working (finally) on both Lightroom  and Photoshop Elements v10 at the same time
    Remember my scenario ... I am putting together a new 64 bit Windows 7 PC and I want to be able to continue to use my Photoshop Elements v10 and also to delve into Lightroom for the first time.  I had read all the blurb on Nik Software and it said the plugins were compatable with both and I had downloaded and tested some of them on an old PC anyway, so I knew the principle of installation and operation.
    I had just bought the Nik SOftware Complete Collection in September 2012.
    The box and the CD they come with .... this is where one of the problems is. Let me explain...
    Step 1:
    =======
    Some of the components on the CD are up to date .. and when you elect to install them the sofware tells you that it has found both Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop Elements V10 and it installs the plugins no problem and they work. Make sure (in these cases) you take their defaults as to the locations the plugins are instlled to. Typically the dual install works for the following components
    Nik Color Efex Prov V4
    Nik Silver Efex V2
    and the plugins go to
    for Photoshop Elements v10           C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Plug-Ins\
    for Lightroom 4                                 C:\users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\External Editor Presets\
    After each of the above 2 installs finished I invoked Photoshop Elements v10 first and opened an image in Editor and made sure the plugin was working and inserted my product key and activated it over the web. I then made sure it was also working in Lightroom 4.2 - it was!
    Step 2:
    =======
    When it came to installing the Sharpener 3 component off the vendor's CD, it displayed NEITHER of the two applications on its compatability list at all. And there was no "+" sign where one can add one manually. Furthermore if you continue with setup.exe it crashes. I closed the EXE and confirmed there was no plugin in Photoshop Elements v10 as expected for Sharpener.
    But when I went into Lightroom 4.2 it shows me the 2 Sharpener entities (the RAW and Output one). And I used it and proved the plugins were working through Lightroom  4.2 and I inserted my product key for it when invoking it for the first time via Lightroom  4.2 as well.
    Then I went onto the Nik Software download site and downloaded a more updated version which was Sharpener Version 3.01. When I ran the installer from this download it actually does see and show both Photoshop Elements v10 and Lightroom  4.2 as "compatable" and it installed the plugins from that .. and they both work ... even though I had it working already (seemingly) from the CD install I obviously installed over it and the plugin still works in Lightroom 4.2. It also works now in Photoshop Elements v10. Only issue I had here was I had to re-insert my product key and activate it when I used the plugin via Photoshop Elements v10 for the first time... but if that is the extent of a techincal difficulty - I would take it anytime!.
    Step 3:
    =======
    When it came to installing Viveza 2 off the CD, it only saw Lightroom  4.2 as compatable. I did something similar in this case. I let it install to Lightroom 4.2 as a plugin and proved it worked and activated its produvt key. Then I downloaded V2.009 off the website. I re-installed from it (over the Lightroom 4.2 one obvously again) and it now also sees Photoshop Elements 10 as compatable and installs correctly. Strangely enough I did not have to enter my product key a second time when I went to invoke the plugins via Photoshop Elements v10 in this case. What the hell! - the subtleties of software!
    Step 4:
    =======
    Dfine 2.0 - the setup for the CD again finds NEITHER of the 2 applications on its compatablity list, but it put it into Lightroom 4.2 anyway (like the Sharpener component behaved) and I proved it worked. Then I downloaded version 2.112 from the Nik Software website and it finds both applications compatable. Also I did have to re-enter my product key when first invoking the plugin via the Photoshop Elements v10 editor (like as in the case of Sharpener)
    Step 5:
    =======
    HDR Efex Pro (which comes on the vendors CD with a promise to a free upgrade to HDR Efex Pro 2) .... the setup.exe sees Lightroom  4.2 as compatable but does not see Photoshop Elements  v10. Be careful ... this component is NOT A PLUGIN ... to see and use it in Lightroom 4 you must select photos and then do menu option EXPORT WITH PRESET HDR EFEX PRO. It does not work as a plugin within Photoshop Elements (any version) . I obtained my free upgrade too and it works from Lightroom. Dont even try to configure it manually as a plugin for Elements. Instead if you save files as JPG or TIFF you can open the EXE directly in the Program Files area (if you have 64 bit make sure to open that EXE not the 32 bit one) and you can use it in standalone mode. There is only one menu option within HDr Efex Pro when using it this way ...  File-Open.
    So to conclude ... (leaving HDR Efex aside because we know it will not plugin to Elements) ... I have them all working in both Lightroom and Elements. As I begin to learn Lightroom and move away from Elements for cataloging and edits, I know I can invoke most of my workflow plugins from both products. People say I should persist in Lightroom, but if for some reason I dont, I have the fall back position of having everything working out of Elements 10 anyway. It's been a bit of chore getting to this point, but others might find my workaround useful.

  • Aperture 3.2.3 and NIK plugins. Intermittently, the viewer doesn't update an image adjusted using several NIK plugins, though the browser strip does. The viewer updates once Aperture is quit and re-launched. IS there some explanation for this recent behav

    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?

    See this known issue:

    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.
