PSE9 and NIK plugins

I will be upgrading from 8 to 9 my question is will my NIK and TOPAZ plugins carry over from 8 when I install 9 or will I have to reinstall all my plugins.

Should I just navigate to the filters folder and copy the nik filters from there ?

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:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4237
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.

Aperture 3 and NIK- plugins, problems...

I wonder whether others like me have experienced problems after rendering a photo in NIK's HDR EFEX Pro, and returning to Aperture 3....the latter crashes rather often? Any comments about this issue would be most welcome. Mamster 37

Hi.
I just happen to have the same problem. I reported it to Nik Technical Support and was given this advice :
HDR Efex Pro 2 takes advantage of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) of the computer system. The GPU is also sometimes referred to as the Display Adapter or Video Card, in any case they are all the same. Sometimes certain video cards will not handle this additional processing. You will note this when opening an image into HDR Efex Pro 2 and one or more of the following happens: 1.) HDR Efex Pro 2 will crash right away, or 2.) if it opens the imported image will sometimes not be displayed correctly (solid gray, black or white image), or 3.) the buttons will not display correctly, or 4.) the responsiveness is simply very slow.
In order to resolve this, the first measure would be to update the Display Adapters or GPU driver.
Mac Users: Generally the video card that comes with your Mac will be updated automatically. The exception may be when there has been an additional video card added. In that case the user may need to go to the video card manufacturer's website to download an updated driver for their secondary GPU. If you are using Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6) ensure to update to 10.6.6 or higher as this can affect performance. If this does not apply to you, please go to the next section below.
Windows Users: Locate the manufacturer of the GPU as well as the model number.Once this is determined, it is then recommended to go directly to the GPU manufacturer's website (best option) or if that is not possible to go to the computer manufacturer's website (secondary option) to obtain an updated video card driver. It is NOT recommended to use Windows Update as in general we have found that these drivers are not updated as frequently. To identify which video card you have please do the following:
Click on Start >Control Panel>System & Security >System >Device Manager and then click on the plus next to Display Adapter, this should display the make and model information.
Go to the manufacturer's website (you may need to search for it via Google) such asNvidea.com and with the model number you should be able to search for the latest driver. If you are unable to locate the driver you may need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to obtain an updated driver.
Once the latest GPU driver is located,download and install the new driver.
Restart the computer and try HDR Efex Pro 2 once again.
If after following the above steps, you are still experiencing the same issue, the next step will be to either disable the GPU (if possible) or force HDR Efex Pro 2 to not use the GPU (safe-mode). If HDR Efex Pro 2 states your GPU is not in use, the following steps may still be necessary to improve performance. In order to disable the GPU in HDR Efex PRO 2 please do the following:
If you are able to open HDR Efex Pro 2 and 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 HDR Efex Pro 2 (click Cancel), quit out of any and all host applications (Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture), and then relaunch HDR Efex Pro 2 to see if this corrects this issue.
If you are unable to disable the GPU via settings (e.g. HDR Efex Pro 2 crashes or the buttons are not displaying correctly), please try the following steps below after quitting out of all host applications (Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture):
Mac Users:
Open a finder window (or double click on the Macintosh HD on the desktop) and navigate to:
Macintosh HD : Users : <user name> : Library :Preferences : Nik Software : HDR Efex Pro 2
Locate the file, HDREfexPro2.cfg and right-click and choose "open with..." and then click "Choose" and then locate the applications, "TextEdit" to open this file.
At the very beginning (before all the text) of the configuration file, paste the following code below verbatim:
<configuration>
<group name="INTERN">
<key name="UseSafeMode" type="bool" value="1"/>
</group>
</configuration>
Now save the file, close it and relaunch HDR Efex Pro 2 and see if the issue has been resolved.
I have follwed all the recomendations but with no results. I talked to Nik's Support today and together we have verified that the tiff stored by Nik HDR Efex Pro 2 inside the Aperture Librarty is fine. The problem is with Aperture graphic memory management. As a matter of fact, if you experience the problem, you will also see that not only the image edited with HDR Pro 2 can be affected, but also any other you open in your strip after it has occured the first time.
Below is a typical result.

Aperture 3 and nik plugin compatibility

any news of the update?

Nik has the following posted on their Website under FAQ
http://www.niksoftware.com/support/usa/entry.php?view=faqs/generalanswers.shtml#Aperture3compatibility
*Are Nik Software products compatible with Aperture 3?*
We are continuing to evaluate support for Aperture 3. Initial tests have uncovered some issues that we are currently working with Apple to resolve.
The following products are currently not fully compatible with Aperture 3:
Color Efex Pro 3.0
Viveza 2
Silver Efex Pro
Sharpener Pro 3.0
Dfine 2.0 appears to be working in Aperture 3 running in 32-bit mode without issue, however we are working with Apple to perform additional compatibility tests.
We will provide updates to all registered customers as soon as additional information is possible.

@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.

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 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 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.

CS6 and Nik Software plugins?

I've recently converted from CS5 to CS6. I noticed that CS6 was pointing to CS5 for plugins rather than CS6. I made the mistake of trying to move the plugin folder from CS5 to CS6, which made a bit of a mess. I ended up reinstalling CS6, getting the most current updates, and uninstalling and reinstalling my Nik plugins, and this time they went into the correct folder (CS6 instead of CS5) -- no problem, everything worked, except for Dfine which said it was only compatible with CS5. I got the most recent version, which is to work for CS6; I uninstalled the old Dfine; installed the new one. Everything looks fine. Except that when I attempt to use it in CS6, it crashes completely and shuts everything down. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and gotten new downloads, etc. But this continues to happen. Everything else seems to work fine. The plug-ins are all together where they are supposed to be. They all show up on the filter menu. I've exhausted all possibilities on the Nik side, and now I'm wondering if there's something on the Adobe Photoshop side. And I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered any conflict between CS6 and this plug-in. Thanks.

I got their latest, which they swear is CS6 compatible. I would think it's an issue with that particular plug-in, because the rest of them are fine. But it's good to know that they are known to be crashing, because I couldn't see anyone else having issues, and I wondered if it had something to do with my CS6 set-up, or if I'd screwed something up when I relocated the plug-in folder. Back to Nik, I guess. Thanks for the answer!

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.

How do I get Nik, OnOne, and Topaz plugins to work with Photoshop CC?

I recently installed the CC versions of Photoshop and Bridge, but all my plugins disappeared. I've tried reinstalling them, but they still don't appear in Photoshop CC. I use Nik, OnOne, and Topaz plugins - need help to get them to work in Photoshop CC! Thanks! This is on a Windows 7 PC.

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 ???

For photography I have CS4, Lightroom 5.3, I use Bridge and sometimes NIK and Topaz Plugins. If I want to update to CC, what is the plan I need? Will all of my Lightroom history data be retained?
