• PS CC: Impossible to save an action with filter Color Efex Pro 4

  I know not how to record actions, but I can not record an action using Color Efex Pro 4. When I try to record the action remains empty. What I am doing wrong?

  Earlier (3 weeks), I made an action with Silver Efex Pro 4 and that the action will still works. But also a new record action does not work (Silver Efex and Color Efex).

  I have not made changes to the system or software. I use an iMac 21.5 "end 2013 with PS CC.

  Already solved.

  For anyone interested: to save a Color Efex action, you must select Color Efex in the menu Filter and NOT in the Google Panel in Photoshop (the one with Dfine, HDR Efex, Viveza, Color Efex etc.). Very strange, but that's all.

• problem with color efex pro 3 in CS5...

  Hi all

  Sorry for my English

  I have a problem with Color Efex Pro 3, I can not

  If it is usable on my CS5 how do?

  I installed the software in the Photoshop plug-in

  CS5 and nothing

  Help me I am knocked out I finds no solution...

  Thank you all in advance for help you

  We do not control the API - but the code of the plugin runs in our process.

  Plugins are not other applications, they are DLLs with reminders in Photoshop, sharing space with Photoshop.

  If we cannot witn against their bugs with the current plugin architecture.

  If you didn't mind working two orders of magnitude slower with no plugins do not access to as many features of Photoshop, we could put plugins in another process.   Then, of course there are things that we can do - just nothing reasonable, or that visitors and developers would be conditioned with.

  And next time, please do not hesitate to ask questions instead of trying to make a Chair coding.

• Nik Efex Pro 4 very slow LR 3.5 and 3.6

  My computer is a 27 "iMac 2.93 GHz i7 with 16 GB of DRAM running OS X Lion (10.7.2).

  Versions of the software used for the test: opening 3.2.2 Lightroom 3.5 x 64, Lightroom 3.6 x 64, Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 x 64, Color Efex Pro 4.001 x 64.

  I think Nik Color Efex Pro 4 is very slow when "Edit In" from Lightroom is used to access the plug-in or stand-alone application.  This is a technical question, which I presented in support of the Nik.  I have not heard of them yet, but I thought it would be a good idea to post here.  Maybe someone has the same problem and knows a solution...

  = message to Support technique Nik =.

  Image used in the tests is an of a Digital Rebel XT 8-megapixel image.  The image was taken in 2006.

  If I select "Edit In" in Lightroom, choose Color Efex Pro 4, wait the preview display, and then select the fog filter it takes 2 minutes and 39 seconds on the 'calculation' go away and the image to be presented.

  If I select "Edit In" and chose Color Efex Pro 4 app delay is similar, that is a VERY long time.

  In no time my free RAM dropped below 10 GB.  In no time my CPU usage will more than 20%.

  If I select "Edit In" and chose Photoshop CS5 and then use the plugin CS5 it takes less than 3 seconds for the calculation to go away.

  If I use the Color Efex Pro plug-in in 4 aperture, version 3.2.2 times are similar to those in Photoshop CS5, which is very fast.

  The time interval is too short to get an accurate measure of memory and CPU usage in CS5 and opening

  What is causing this discrepancy?  This excessive delay - which exists when a filter is adjusted, changed, etc. a lot of essentially useless from Lightroom filters.

  Nik worked on that problem?  You have a solution?  If this isn't the case, I expect a resolution in the near future?  Surely, this has been reported before.

  ===

  UPDATE:

  I received an email of Nik response.  They acknowledged that this problem has been known "a small amount of time in the past" and went on to say that maybe it's duplicate fonts.

  I replied that I have not all fonts in duplicate so that isn't the problem. Now waiting on their reply.

  UPDATE:

  Nik reacted very quickly.  They completely admitted that this problem has been reported several times recently and their development team is "working on it".

  As well as many suggestions - which has indicated that with the exception of paragraph first, it's a boilerplate answer - should be making sure that your video card is up-to-date and supported.

  Their first paragraph suggests forcing the CEfex Pro 4.0 app to run in 32-bit mode.  It worked - the slow descent of the Efex app running LR has disappeared - at least on my system.

• LR 4.1 RC of Nik Software

  I have never had any problems with LR4, but now are problems of export with 4.1

  Mac Pro with 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)

  LR 4.1 RC

  CS with cab 6.7 5.5

  When you export an image in the external editor for Nik Color Efex Pro I get the dialog warning (cool) but when I click on the tab (learn more) "file copy" Options, it keeps returning on sRGB as opposed to 'ProPhoto RGB' (my desired space) and something that I continue to reset in Preferences > external editors > Nik... Why?

  I hope that this will serve as a warning to other professionals to click this tab tpo make sure you that you work in "ProPhoto" If that's what you want. Because once the information has disappeared, well...

  Adobe Folks: I repeat that it wasn't a problem with LR4 and I had NO problem with my external editors. So my computer, my point of view, a bug has been introduced.

  

  I found the answer:

  When going to 'External editing' and put in no valuse (in my case, 300/ProPhoto), the drop pass to Nik Color Efex Pro (edit). I just would then close the box.

  Instead, you will need to then got to the NEW drop-down list and select "update Preset" down. The values will stick now.

• Ive just purchased lightroom 5. In LRM in Photo 4, change in, I've been using NIK software color efex, silver efex, DFine, viveza, etc.. When I go to the menu "edit in", I see only one option for silver efex, not the rest of the NIK software

  How can I access all of my NIK software (fresh color, silver efex, define, viveza) LRM 5 under "change in". The options appear in LRM 4, but sinceIjust started LRM 5 w, I don't see NIK software options in the menu: Photo, change in...? Thank you

  You need to reinstall your Nik Plugins.

• Color LaserJet MFP M477fdn Pro: M477 Software Installation fails at 99%

  Like others who have posted here, I have been unable to get the printer software to complete the installation. The printer is a Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdn, 3 months. I'm trying to install the software on a new workstation HP Z240 performing Windows 10 (64-bit). The connection is via USB cable. The printer and the software have been previously used with a Windows 7 machine without problem.

  I tried, repeatedly, to install the software from the disc supplied with the printer and also a 126.6 mb download HP Color LaserJet MFP printer M477 Pro series full software and drivers. The results are the same with a source - installation apparently progresses up to connect it the indicator product of progression from screen reached 99%, how it gives an error message "a Setup operation took too long to run. It is a fatal error, preventing the use of the product. Restart your computer and run this installer again. If the problem persists, please visit the web site of product support for your product. "It takes about 20 minutes for the phase of installation to go from 0 to 99%, and then later hooked up to 99% for 2-5 minutes, the error message is displayed.

  I am able to print to this printer, but at least do not have the ability to scan from the computer there is no indication that the I.R.I.S. OCR software is installed.

  I had care of do not connect USB until you are educated.

  I tried repeating the installation without uninstalling first and get the same result.

  I used the uninstall contained the disk feature, and have deleted the printer to the computer using the Panel between the installation attempts.

  I tried to do a right click to run the installer as administrator and get the same result.

  I tried to install after clean boots with turned off Windows Firewall and all functions of the software Norton Internet Security including its function of firewall turned off.

  The event viewer displays none error entry at all and no entry identifies HP as the source of an event.

  I tried to connect via USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports.

  I cleaned recycle them and temporary folders.

  I have updated the firmware of the printer to the 20160331 version.

  Printed printer configuration report will not display any errors, nor that the printer itself indicates something is wrong and confirms the update of the firmware.

  I deselected the optional software, the devices experience HP and I.R.I.S. OCR, trying to install only the required files two more program scanning HP.

  Thanks for any help solving this.

  I think I understood the question, 10 windows installs its own driver, and the installation program expects the hp driver to install.

  DO this FOR THE HP INSTALLER PROCESS (when the percentage meter goes)

  1. go into the Device Manager and find the printer in the list of devices

  2. right click on the printer and select "Update Driver software"

  3. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".

  4. choose "Let Me pick one...» »

  5. Select the named driver: HP Color LaserJet MFP M477 PCL-6 Pro (make sure it's one with a dash between the pcl and 6!)

  6. click next and back to the installation of hp box and must now see the printer and continue the installation.

• HP Color LaserJet MFP M277 Pro: No software or drivers are available for HP Color LaserJet Pro M277dw MFP

  Trying to download the latest drivers (I couldn't scan with Easy Scan more after the release of macOS sierra 10.12) I received the following massage

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Color-LaserJet-Pro-MFP-m277-series/7089945/model/...

  Hi @pisca46,

  Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

  I understand that there is no drivers for your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw on Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra. I am pleased to see that for you!

  You are right that there are currently no drivers available at this time. In the meantime, I suggest trying the rest of this guide, of install a printer Mac driver by using Apple Software Updateand then try using the Apple Image Capture.

  Otherwise, all we can do is wait for the drivers and software provision, or plan to use an older version of Mac OS X.

  If it helps, please consider clicking on "accept as a solution." And, please click the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  I hope this helps!

• HP Color LaserJet MFP M177 Pro: No software to install

  Hi all

  I have a laptop of society and the installation of software is not allowed due to insufficient privileges.  For printing I added the driver " HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177 series Cffp Driver only (no installer) " I found on

  http://support.HP.com/SK-en/product/HP-Color-LaserJet-Pro-MFP-M177-series/5303438/model/5303443/DRIV...

  and driver is not "istaller" and printing works very well.

  I need also some "not istaller" driver/software that allows me to use a scanner. Is this possible?

  Thank you

  Peter

  Hi Peter,.

  Contrary to the impression, digitizing require imaging software and the scanner cannot be used without installing any software.

  Must have these permissions to install the software for scanning on the computer.

  To work around the problem, try scanning without using the computer.

  Follow the introduction section printable HP below, then search the HP site connected, if there is any what pads there are instead of digital archiving for your printer as "Scan to E-mail", "Dropbox" or a driver of Google that allow the scan to the cloud on the front of the printer.

  Platelets availability depands of the model of the printer, I have consist some of the above options may be available for your printer.

• 6 Lightroom does not when using NIK software

  I've updated to 4 LR LR 6.

  Now if I edit a few photos using NIK software, then press on save, when control is returned to Lightroom it is insensitive for a minute (sometimes longer).

  And sometimes it remains simply does not. Either way its faster at the end of the task of lightroom and restart to wait so he could answer.

  I have a fairly new windows 10 PC. 12 GB of RAM and a card Radeon R7 240 chart.

  Can someone help here?

  Thank you

  I've also updated my graphic drivers - and this has definitely solved the problem.
