Unless you genius's have a wonder fix for this...like some button choice that I'm totally unaware of in LR...(now there's a possibility...) |
It's better to edit in PS...since then each Efex edit can have it's own layer.
But to get around the Edit-Edit-Edit problem in LR, just tell LR to edit the original, rather than a copy. (That won't work for the first edit from RAW of course, but subsequent edits will not create new copies.) |

| Yes, if you're using a handful of the NIK suite products in LR, you end up with a bunch of files which is quite annoying. |

Yes, I had what I think is the same exact problem with the standalone Color Efex 4 before the Google bundle. I found the answer here. I installed the latest graphics drivers, which helped some but didn't completely solve the problem, then I changed Color Efex to run with GPU processing disabled, which appears to have solved the problem completely. |
Tried your suggestion and disabled GPU processing ... still hanging. Plus no luck in getting it to work in Lightroom 4 either (thanks for the feedback though Matt).
At this point I give up and will put the $149 to other uses. Thanks to all for the suggestions and help. |

When you load the software and it asks you what to install it in as a plug in. Select LR4. after it finishes installing open up Lightroom and a photo. Right click on the photo and go to edit in and choose the Nik plugin you want to use.

Ha!!! I was all set and didn't know it (I had selected LR4 during install for plug-in). The "Right click on the photo and go to edit ..." wasn't something I was aware of. It worked just fine (no hanging, etc...).
Matt, you may have just permanently altered my editing workflow! :-) And kept me from funneling that $149 somewhere else. :-P
THANKS! |

I've never used the software before so somewhere earlier in this thread someone posted some tutorials from NIK so I watched them to try and get a starting point. You may want to look back and check them out.

I had tried the Nik collection demo version, and when it expired, I upgraded and bought the collection.
Two huge problems now:
1) download after purchase only included Color Efex and not entire collection (I'm going to contact support for that),
AND...
2) Photoshop won't open. I get an install error asking to reinstall. ???? It has worked fine for ages. Just not after downloading the Nik collection link. (CS5 app was closed during download/install).
Anyone else have these issues?
ETA --- Resolved! I located a phone number for the Nik support (hard to find) and was sent another download link that worked. CS5 works again also... Whew.

has anyone done a single photo HDR?????? I didn't do a bracket shot (sigh) |

04/30/2013 09:36:50 PM · #96 |
| yeah with a single image its just doing tone mapping. You just lose shadow and highlight adjustments but not much |
|
|
|
04/30/2013 09:42:23 PM · #97 |
Or take your image, do a +1 and -1 exposure adjustment. Save each as a TIFF along with the original and you have a 3-shot bracket :)

From Niks website:
Why is HDR Efex Pro 2 not compatible with Photoshop Elements or Capture NX 2?
HDR Efex Pro 2 is not compatible with Photoshop Elements or Capture NX 2. Neither application is able to support 32-bit images, which is a requirement for HDR imaging.
Atleast you can use it through LR |
