Plug-ins in Color Efex do not work when used with Lightroom? really need help

Dear all,
I am suffering the problem with some plug-ins (some others still okey) of Color Efex when I use them with Lightroom. Specifically, the image I chose to edit in Color Efex turned black as I tried to apply a plug-in, ex Detail extractor. Pls see the pic below:
Before
...and After
I am using Win XP and wondering whether this is the root of this problem? Pls help me for a solution if you know it.
Many thanks for reading and supporting!

Dear all,
I emailed Nik team and it is just exact as what you said, they are very helpful and supportive when provide me several of solutions. Thank god one amongst them solves my issue completely. I performed the following steps:
If you are able to open Color Efex Pro 4and can see part of the interface, see if you can click on the"Settings" button in the lower left.
In Settings locate the section "GPU" and expand it, in this section you will see a check box "Enable GPU Processing", uncheck this so the GPU will be disabled, then close the settings window.
Close out of Color Efex Pro 4 (click Cancel), quit out of any and all host applications (Photoshop,Lightroom, Aperture), and then relaunch Color Efex Pro 4 to see if this corrects this issue.
Thank to Nik team and you guys here. I'm now able to work with my new project better

  • Airport Express not working when used with Broadband Router **HELP!!!**

    Hello.
    I have an ethernet network in my house, and I am connected to the network via a Linksys router for Broadband VOIP and internet. I am on a G5 in my home office and want to stream music to my Airport Express for my home stereo in the living room, via the ethernet connection.
    The problem is that when using the router in my network, only the Admin Utility sees the base station-- iTunes does not.
    If I remove the router from the equation altogether and plug the network ethernet cable directly into the G5, the AX in the other room works just fine and I can get internet on the G5 in the office. The problem is that I need the router to operate my Vonage VOIP phone service and to connect a second computer to the internet as well. The IP address for the router in the home office is "192.168.x.xxx" and when I try moving it to the living room and connecting the AX to it, the Admin Asst doesn't see the AX at all.
    When I connect the router to the network in the office, I can use internet on both computers and the VOIP phone service, and the AX Admin Asst. sees the base station from the other room. But again, iTunes does not.
    Is there a way to configure the router to see the AX?
    Thanks for your help!

    Forgive me if this a little off thread, but I have just managed to get this to work and thought it might help people with similar configuration issues (mix manufacturer wireless networks)
    I received an Airport Express (FW v. 6.3) for Christmas this year. I already am using a D-Link DI-524 wireless(G) router (Rev A FW 1.03) for my Comcast cable modem in my house (downstairs). What I wanted to do is to add the Airport Express in my office upstairs to my network (client mode) so that I could print from my HP Deskjet 3740 printer and listen to iTunes on my stereo through Airtunes. I have two iBooks (G3) with regular (802.11b) airport cards in them) running Tiger.
    I ran into a couple of snags though. I could see the printer in Rendezvou and I could see the airport express in iTunes. I however could not print to the printer or connect to the speakers. I was able to connect to the speakers very intermittenly and then the audio would be disrupted every few seconds.
    After a bit of hacking, what I found is that it seems that WPA PSK security doesn't work between the two. I changed the security to 128 bit WEP (ASCII mode). This means that you need an exactly 13 character pass phrase. This is necessary because Apple (and pretty much only Apple) supports 40 bit WEP (5 chars) and D-Link (and the rest of the Windows wireless universe) supports 64 bit WEP (7 chars), but they both support 128 bit WEP. I assume you could set both up as an open network if you were far enough from your neighbors, but I am in a townhouse complex, so I thought I probably better have some security on the network.
    Now I only see one network (the one set up on my D-Link router) and I can print to my printer and stream to my stereo through iTunes (without disruption). Seems to work seemlessly now.
    I should also mention that I did about three other things. I moved the LAN subnet on the D-link router to 192.168.1.1 (DHCP client address are now between 1.100 and .1.200) I had heard that this was necessary since both routers tried to use the 192.168.0 subnet, but I think this is only necessary in relay mode. I also statically assigned the IP address for the Airport Express. Finally I set up a firewall rule of Source WAN/LAN IP addresses of 192.168.1.100-200 of any protocol from ports 1-20000 to the same destination address range should be allowed to allow for all LAN traffic to be passed. I am very certain this is unnecessary and possible dangerous for security, but I thought I should mention that I did it.
    Hope this might help someone.

  • WMI InvokeMethod for StartService does not work when used with ManagementOperationObserver on IIS

    Hi,
    I am using .net 4.5 and C# to remotely restart the services. I am using WMI to do this task.  This code works when called from windows application on the machine, but same code when used inside web application it gives exception of invalid parameter.
    We saw it log error in System Event log 
    The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

    For web apps the context will be the context of the app pool.  Unless you set the app pool to run as a user account that has admin privileges on the remote machine then you won't be able to control the services on a remote machine.  If you have
    enabled Win auth such that the app runs in the context of the remote user then you might need to turn on delegation otherwise the hop won't work.
    Note that if you are using Win auth then consider using ServiceController instead which provides the same functionality as WMI but with a cleaner syntax.  This wouldn't work if you need to impersonate a user though.

  • Function module not working when used with 'In Background Task'

    hi,
    this is my code
    call function 'Z_IBD_FILL_ZINETACT'
                  in background task
                  destination  'SAPD220125'
                  tables
                      it_net1 = it_net1
                      it_net2 = it_net2
                      it_net3 = it_net3  .
    when this code is executed i am not getting any data in my internal tables i.e it_net1, it_net2, and it_net3
    but i changed this code see the below code
          call function 'Z_IBD_FILL_ZINETACT'
                 in background task (THIS IS COMMENTED)
                  destination  'SAPD220125'

                      it_net1 = it_net1
                      it_net2 = it_net2
                      it_net3 = it_net3  .
    now i am getting data into my internal tables
    can any one tell me what can be the problem and how to solve it in my case
    its very urgent

    Hi,
    Pls. go through the  docu..
    CALL FUNCTION
    Variant 5
    CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.
    Additions:
    1. ... AS SEPARATE UNIT
    2. ... DESTINATION dest
    3. ... EXPORTING  p1 = f1    ... pn = fn
    4. ... TABLES     p1 = itab1 ... pn = itabn
    Effect
    Flags the function module func to be run asynchronously. It is not executed at once, but the data passed with EXPORTING or TABLES is placed in a database table and the next COMMIT WORK executes it in another work process.
    Note
    This variant applies only as of Release 3.0, so both the client system and the server system must be Release 3.0 or higher.
    Note
    qRFC with Outbound Queue
    This is an extension of tRFC. The tRFC is serialized using queues, ensuring that the sequence of LUWs required by the application is observed when the calls are sent.
    For further information about qRFC, refer to the Serialized RFC: qRFC With Outbound Queue section of the SAP Library.
    Addition 1
    ... AS SEPARATE UNIT
    Effect
    Executes the function module in a separate LUW under a new transaction ID.
    Addition 2
    ... DESTINATION dest
    Effect
    Executes the function module externally as a Remote Function Call (RFC); dest can be a literal or a variable.
    Depending on the specified destination, the function module is executed either in another R/3 System or as a C-implemented function module. Externally callable function modules must be flagged as such in the Function Builder (of the target system).
    Since each destination defines its own program context, further calls to the same or different function modules with the same destination can access the local memory (global data) of these function modules.
    Note
    Note that a database commit occurs at each Remote Function Call (RFC). Consequently, you may not use Remote Function Calls between pairs of statements that open and close a database cursor (such as SELECT ... ENDSELECT).
    Addition 3
    ... EXPORTING p1 = f1 ... pn = fn
    Effect
    EXPORTING passes values of fields and field strings from the calling program to the function module. In the function module, formal parameters are defined as import parameters. Default values must be assigned to all import parameters of the function module in the interface definition.
    Addition 4
    ... TABLES p1 = itab1 ... pn = itabn
    Effect
    TABLES passes references to internal tables. All table parameters of the function module must contain values.
    Notes
    If several function module calls with the same destination are specified before COMMIT WORK, these normally form an LUW in the target system. Calls with the addition 1 are an exception to this rule - they each have their own LUW.
    You cannot specify type 2 destinations (R/3 - R/2 connections).
    (See Technical details and Administration transaction.)
    Example
    REPORT  RS41503F.
    /* This program performs a transactional RFC.
    TABLES: SCUSTOM.

  • Photoshop CC. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush.

    Hi, Photoshop CC. Windows 8.1 64 bit. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush. I have tried rebooting and other things like closing swatch panel etc.
    The alt key is otherwise OK.  It's not the recent upgrade from Win 8 to 8.1 (5 days ago) because the colour selection facility was working yesterday. Any ideas.

    I'd say things sound desperate enough to try resetting Preferences
    Reset Preferences
    Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
    Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop
    If that fails, we need to know your operating system?
    Do you have a full CC subscription, or by apps do you mean Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom?
    Another other information that might pertain ?

    Microphone is not working when i use my iphone 4, first day when i installed a iOS 7 , was all good, second day this happened. Please help me. When i use a Viber microphone working. I think this is not a hardwear problem.

    Hi Mike
    That was very helpful thank you.
    I did as you suggested and found the "switch" was already turned on green. I swiched it off waited a while then turned it back on and microphone was back in use in viber. I have a sneaky feeling I may have to do this again in the future.  I am not aware that I did anything that led to the microphone going off, but having said that I have only had the phone for a few days so may have done something when checking it out.
    The phone has been a lot of fun after replacing my ancient Nokia with it. That Nokia worked in Morse code!

  • Keyboard backlighting not working when using Windows in Boot Camp

    Hi, I'm posting this for a friend with a new Macbook Air. He says that his keyboard backlighting does not work when he is using it for Windows (don't know which, but probably Vista). Any ideas why? Thanks. Gary

    Install all the drivers needed when running boot camp - try for example inserting a DVD - then press the eject key - See if it comes out - If it doesn't install all the drivers - try Control Panel - If not try re-installing your version of Windows.
