Dayo Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hello, Just installed the Nik Collection as a plugin and would like to ask whether it is supposed to be the case that this is generally not available after developing RAW files? I notice only HDR Efex is active in such cases and that the other plugins are only active when I open a jpeg file directly. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Is this the recently-released set from DxO? I have never had such limitations in the old (Google) version except, of course, that HDR will not work as a plugin. It may be an obvious question, but have you completed the development by clicking Apply?

Dayo Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hello, Thanks for the response. It is the old Google Version. Basically, when I open a RAW file (NEF), go through the develop process and then try to apply the Nik Collection to a layer, only the HDF Efex Pro plugin is active and all the others are greyed out. If I open a jpeg file directly, including one first exported from Affinity, then all the plugins are available. Please see attached images.

Gnobelix Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hello @Dayo I think your file is executed in RGB 32 bit. Convert the file to RGB 16 bit. NIK Collection can only16 Bit files to edit, except HDR files.
