• 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.

• Nik HDR Photoshop CC accidents on record

  Send those 3 files in LR 4.7 in PS CC running on a Mac (details below).  Do you have my HDR processing with the pro2 hdr efex fine plugin.  When clicking on 'save', PS hangs a little later.  It is repeatable.  He used to work properly several months back, so somewhere along the things of changed lines.

  To my surprise, NIK (aka. Google) has no forum users or support I can find to understand what is happening.  I'll give ulterior motive for any purchase of more than Google/Nik if no support is available.  On the FAQ of Google/Nik, they say that the updates are automatically applied such that I should run the latest version 2.2.20.

  When I try to raise efex pro2 on its own, I don't see options where I can import the files if I wanted to bypass PS

  Any ideas?

  You can re - install the plugin from Nik. Also, try the HDR Pro in Photoshop and save, just to make sure nothing goes haywire in Photoshop itself. Photshop IF, you could try a reset preference: Hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Opt + shift as you start Photoshop start. Select 'Yes' when asked if you want to continue with reset.

• 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.

• Fixtures in NIk HDR Pro, unregistered

  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, changes I made do not exist. I had the same problem with a filter on my Olympus E5 which emulates a HDR - effect effect are not visible when uploading from Lightroom. Any ideas? (I use the Oly filters before LR3 without problem). Thank you

  I imported to LR and made a Nik hdr. When I did a backup it prompted me to a new LR folder two low levels originating files. When I looked in LR, he showed all the files in the original folder in the subfolders as well. deleting files it removed them from LR in the folder of origin as well! I had to choose the grid and return the folder of origin before I could remove the annoying subfolders. That's why I'm looking for a fix now lol.

  I saved the file in the original folder and he did anyway subfolders. I got sync the folder of origin before the hdr appeared in LR.

• 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.

• Problems with the pen of the Surface Pro 3 in Photoshop CS6

  I used photoshop CS6 without any problem on my old computer that was connected to a graphics tablet.

  However, I recently bought a new computer windows called Surface Pro 3. Everything works perfectly with the trackpad and touch, but I had some problems with the pen of Surface.

  The feather can if support on the Web, but every time I click on something on any windows with the pen, the whole application hangs and I have to click on the task bar of the computer down to unlock the application.

  It is impossible to work like this. Is there a solution for this problem? It is said that the version of photoshop I have is Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.1.2

  If you have Photoshop CS6 version 13.1.2, which is the version of subscription to Photoshop, you shoule Isstall Photoshop CC 2014 on your surface Pro 3.  It will work smoothly on the surface Pro 3 and you will also have the option have to use Photoshop CC 2014 preference 2 x UI to Photoshop UI scaling upward in size on your Surface Pro 3.

  If you have not a subscription perpetual windows CS6 version should be version 13.0.1.3.  In this case the only way to scale Photoshop UI must have windows do. You need to update your registry windows 8.1 database and add an external Photoshop manifest file in your folder of Photoshop CS6.  For Surface Pro 3 pen to work with Photoshop, you must install the device drivers for the NTig the wintab API support pen.

  You will not be able to use Photoshop without a keyboard appear on the windows screen keyboard is too heavy.  You can use a utility like button to create keys to touch Overlay on Photoshop and use Photoshop without keyboard.

• Silver Efex Pro Action

  I am writing a series of Actions and want to integrate Silver Efex Pro in Action.

  By using the Insert menu option upon registration of the action that I can get Silver Efex to launch, but when I press OK of Silver Efex, the effect is not been applied to the image.

  Anyone who manages to get Silver Efex to work with action.

  If you want to use an action and any other action, you need to do is to play the action while recording the action that you want to use in.  Also, I don't think that Silver Efex Pro is an action.  If you were able to insert in and action with the help of Insert Menu items.  Actions are not the menu items...  Thing as plug-ins, filters, scripts are.  These could be inserted as a menu Item.  In this case, they would be interactive measures that would open the dialog boxes and require the intervention of the user.  The effect of Silver Pro is a plug-in with the support of the action you should just use it when you save your action.  For a plug-in with action support will save the settings that you used when you save the action in this stage of the action. When the Action is played. It will take the plugin will pass revealing its dialog box and use the parameter it recorded in the action step without user intervention...

  Not all Plug-ins have the support of the Action, and only some scripts like Image Fit are Photoshop plug-in which allows to record their actions dialog box settings to differentiate.
