Retested. Nikon RAW okay when opened as single file, but but when used to create a panorama. I've attached an screenshot of the stitched panorama (composed of 4 RAM files) vs the developed RAW image of the first RAW image of 4. The panorama is definitely darker.

I am seeing the same issue with RAW images from my Nikon.

Hi Chris B - No, no response from DxO yet. I've submitted a reminder to them. Thank you for the offer to act as liason.

Thanks. Unfortunately, installed latest driver version 471.11. No change.

I tried deactivating hardware acceleration. Graphics card driver is up-to-date. Both have no affect. I've not tried the beta. There seems to be mixed reviews on NIK 4 with the beta. I may be creating more problems for myself rather than solving the problem.

AF Photo crashes when using NIK plug-ins. Problem shows when I am using and manipulating control points in the NIK plug-in. It is most common when using the Dfine 2 plug-in, but can happen with other plug-ins as well. The crash does not produce a debug file, nor is there any restore point. After multiple crashes, I've given up and reverted to using an old version of Photoshop to get the work done.

Unfortunately NIK 4 does no longer functions is Photoshop CS6 (64-bit). I had been hoping to avoid Adobe's subscription service, but may be forced to it if I can't resolve this AF Photo crashing. I've filed problem with DxO as well.

No problem when opened in standalone NIK filter apps. No problem when used as plug-in within Photoshop CS6 (64-bit)

Hi Chris B, Interesting. I double checked using a .jpeg vs .tif file -- just in case file size was a contributor. I got to 4 control points, then AF Photo crashed. JPEG image was 1.7 Mb (created on an 18-year old Pentax Optio S); TIF is 21 Mb scanned negative (created by SilverFast 8.8 and a Plustek 8200i film scanner). Size of file does not seem to be an influencer.

I've tried both. Plug-in image window functions in a more stable manner when hardware acceleration is off.
