Photo and new Nik 4 collection DXO plugins

[tonyt]

Hi

I have installed the new NIK4 collection trial. I have set them up as per attached. However, when I go to plugins in the APhoto drop down when an image is loaded, nothing shows up. Can anyone help pleas asap!

Cheers

Are your Nik plugin files in the folder Applications\Nik Collection, or are they in sub-folders? If so, you need to Add the sub-folders to your Search Folders list.

Hi John

I used the standard DXO installer which created the Nik Collection folder. Inside that are the plugins which launch if I double click one of them, so no sub folders!

Do hope you have some other ideas as this is driving me nuts!

Thanks

Your screenshot shows the stand alone Nik applications in the Nik Collection folder. It does not show any Nik plugins there -- they would have icons that sort of look like lego bricks like this:  and the *.plugin extension.

If you follow the installation instructions in the link @j3rry posted above to add a "Compatible Host" custom plugins folder, you should be able to use the plugins.
