Nik Software .tif not saved along side of original photo in LR5

I will try to be brief.  I use LR 5 and the NIK software collection as a plug-in.  Ever since I've been using NIK, the .tif photo is saved right along side with the original photo.  However, recently LR 5 crashed on me a couple of times and I noticed one of my major keywords was missing from the keyword list.  I did what the LR tech support folks recommended and that was to go back to a backed up catalog that had the major keyword in it and use the backeup up catalog.  I copied my last saved LR Catalog from the end of November 2013.  Since then I took photos on 16, 17, 18, and 19th of December 2013.  So, when I used the last none good catalog of Nov 2013 these four sets of photos from December did not show up.  So, I used the import function in LR5 with "Add" and found the photos on my hard disk.  LR5 added them to the catalog.  Great.  Prior to all this, when I used NIK software, the .tif file was saved right next to the original photo.  That does not happen to any of the photos in these for folders from December.  The NIK .tif photo is saved next to the oringal for any photo previously shot prior to Decembers photos. Any photo I shot on 16-19 Dec after I added them back to the catalog, the .tif is saved at the end of the add sequence and not along side with the original.  I'm guessing it has something to do with adding these back to the catalog.  I have not taken any new photos since 19 Dec 2013 and used my CF reader to have LR "Copy" them to my photo location on the hard drive so I have not tested out what happens going forward.  Adobe support recommended I remove these four sets of photos from my LR catalog and import them back into the catalog with the "Add" feature.  I wanted to see if anyone out there has any suggestions on what is happening and how to fix it before I try the Adobe suggestion.  Like I said, it only happens on these four folders of photos that I added back to the catalog after using one of my last good backed up catalog to recover from the crash.  Thanks for anyone that can help.

Currently, my Sort Order is "Added Order".  The photos in LR5 grid view show in the order I took the photo which is what I want.  If I uncheck the "Stack with Original" box in the External Editing Tab in LR5 Preferences and edit a photo with one of the NIK products,the .tif photo goes to the end of the sequence and not put next to the original photo.  With the "Stack with Original" box checked and I go to edit in one of the NIK products, it moves the original photo in the grid view to the last in the sequence and adds the .tif photo next to it.  I never had this issue until LR5 crashed on me.

    DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good.  You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

  • HT1338 I have a problem with the aspect ratio of photos as they appear on iPhoto.  They are not correct.  On the original photo people were fat and squat.  I tried rotating and they became long and narrow.  Neither correct.

    Sounds more like a problem with your Display Resolution than iPhoto.
    Go to: Apple / System Preferences / Displays and in the Resolutions list select,
    1280 x 800 if you have a 13" MacBook Pro
    1400 x 900 if you have a 15" MacBook Pro
    1920 x 1200 if you have a 17" Macbook Pro

  • When I recaption a photo in IPhoto and transfer to Photo Stream the caption is not transferred and only the original photo ID shows in Photo Stream.  Can you transfer a recaptioned description to Photo Stream?

    When I recaption a photo in IPhoto and then transfer to Photo Stream, the new caption is not transferred and the original Photo ID shows.  Is there any way to have the new caption show up in Photo Stream with a transferred photo?

    No.  Recaptioning only add a title to a photo and does not change the actual file name.  You could export the photo outside of iPhoto with the option to use the title as the new file name, reimport into iPhoto and then add to PhotoStream. But that may be more of a hassle than you wnat to go thru.

  • Edits in NIk HDR Pro not saved

    I have the plugins for Nik HDR Pro in my Lightroom 4 on my Mac (OS X 10.6). When I save the file with the changes and return to Lightoom, the changes I made are not there. I have had the same problem with a filter on my Olympus E5 which emulates an HDR effect - the effects are not visible when downloaded to Lightroom. Any ideas? ( I have use the Oly filters before in LR3 with no problem). Thanks

    i imported from LR and made a Nik hdr. when i did a save it prompted me to a new LR folder two levels down from where the files came from. when i looked in LR it showed all the files from the origin folder in the sub folders as well. deleting files there removed them from LR in the original folder as well! I had to select grid and move everything back to the original folder before i could delete the annoying subfolders. Thats why i'm looking for a fix now lol.
    I saved the file to the origin folder and it made the sub folders anyway. I had to sync the origin folder before the hdr showed up as part of LR.

  • Original Filename not saved if renaming during original import - Why?

    From what I have read online and what I have seen personally, it seems the concept of "Original Filename" is different depending on whether one renames during import vs after the fact.
    The files I renamed after the fact can be restored to the true filename from the camera card.  Subsequent renaming operations seem to use the true original name for pieces like original number suffix.
    Files that I renamed during import have a totally different idea of the original file name ... I think it is what I renamed it to during the import.
    Can you please confirm what I am saying is true?  If so, does anyone know why this is and how I can get my "true original filenames" back?
    I am new to LR and was experimenting with naming formats thinking I could change them around willy nilly.  Apparently this is not the case for the files I imported.  Those names are looking pretty screwed up.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Original filename is what file is named upon import. If renamed before import (or during importing), then original filename will be as renamed - as you've experienced...
    What I do is to use the original file number as part of the renamed filename, thus I can always "recompute" the original card filename, if need be (on-the-fly, in my head, in Lightroom or out, via external software or plugins...).
    for example, if Nikon files are named {date-time}_{original-file-number}.ext upon import, then the original original raw filename was:
    * DSC_{original-file-number}.NEF, or
    * _DSC{original-file-number}.NEF.
    Depending on exif metadata "sRGB", or "AdobeRGB".
    If you need or want to rename them, in Lightroom, back to original card name, you can use a template like this:
    Granted, you'll need to have a different one for each mfr., to get the signature prefix right, and one for each colorspace...
    (if you don't know the (jpeg preview) colorspace, you'll need ExifMeta, or some such...)

  • Does Elements 13 support Nik software?

    I upgraded from Elements 11 to 13.  My Nik filters are listed in 13's Filters menu.  I can open the Nik filters to edit a photo but the edits won't save into an Elements 13 layer.

    I recently learned that Nik software is not currently compatible with Elements 13.  However, it's in the final stages of testing by their engineers.  Once testing has been completed and any updates that are needed for full compatibility are applied, it will be added to Nik's Licensing & Compatibility page.

  • Nik Software Plug-ins not working with LR3

    Hello,
    I have both LR 2.7 and LR3 running on my computer.  When I installed LR 3, it load the Nik software plug-ins into the external editor section like LR 2.7.  However, when I try to use a Nik plug-in in LR 3 I get an error message that the " File xxxxx.tif can not be opened because it does not exist or access is denied."  The Nik interface opens, then I get this error message, but then it places the xxxxx.tif file in the film strip.  The plug-ins work just fine with LR 2.7.  I've uninstalled and re-installed the plug-ins, but the same error message pops up in LR 3.  I have contacted Nik Software, but have not gotten an answer that works.  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, what was your solution.  I've tried everything I know of except uninstalling LR 3 and re-installing.  I'm using Windows 7 64bit.  I have CS4 (32 and 64bit) and CS5 (32 and 63bit) running and the plug-ins work just fine with them.
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Hi Martin,
    You might try going in the pref and under external editing and try to manually set up each one.  Go down to additonal external editing.  Click on Choose and then go to the folder where you have your Nik software installed and choose the program file.  There will be dialog box telling you to name the file, call it anything you want and the click ok.  Go to the drop down bar and select Save as new preset.  Close LR3 and then reopen and check to see if your program is there under the new name.  If not, you probably will have un-install all the plug-ins and re-install.  Hope this helps!

  • The Windows support software could not be saved to the selected drive

    I am trying to use bootcamp assistant to set up windows 7 on my 27" iMac (late 2013). I follow the instructions: select all the tasks in the 'select tasks' pane, then I choose the 32GB MS-DOS (FAT-32) flash drive that I am using and the windows 7 home premium image file and click continue. In the Task Status pane, it first formats the flash drive, copies the windows files and downloads windows support software. However every time that I have tried this, when the progress bar is about 2/3 of the way finished -- during the 'Downloading Windows Support Software' task -- an error pops up saying that 'The Windows support software could not be saved to the selected drive' and brings me back to the task selection pane. Upon reading other articles, I have downloaded the latest bootcamp5.1.5621.zip file, but I don't know what to do with it. Any help is greatly appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Just posting this for anyone else having this problem. I found that the problem was that I was using a USB 3.0 flash drive which is not natively supported by windows. So I think BCA was trying to prevent me from downloading all the files for no reason.

  • 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!

  • Plug-in for Canon iPF8400 not recognised in Photoshop CC 2014. Lost Topaz and Nik Software as well.

    I have just updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and lost the plug-ins for Canon iPF8400 printer, Topaz Labs, and Nik Software. I had been asked if I wanted to migrate plug-ins and said yes. I have dropped the plug-ins into the Photoshop plug in folder but they are note being recognised.

    Similar problems here with Topaz Labs plug-ins.
    Unfortunately I have now uninstalled Photoshop CC so the option of copying them into Photoshop CC 2014 is no longer viable and Photoshop CC 2014 simply does not recognise them.
    Waiting for response from Topaz labs

  • Nik Software Plug-Ins are not compatible with Aperture 3

    After installing my upgrade to Aperture 3, I get a message when attempting to use one of my Nik Software editing plug-ins. The message says that the plug-ins are not 64-bit (they are 34-bit) and in order to run them, Aperture must close and reopen in 34-bit mode. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    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!

    Yes it is on a portable drive yet I have already worked with it and exported it as a jpg. The problem arises whenever I try to edit in the plug-ins from Nik software...this just happened recently as it never happened before...for years?
