P: Nik DFine2 hanging in Sierra

You just need to revert back to CC 2017.0 and the Nik Collection will work fine.

My NIK software will not respond to latest update of PS.  Can I revert back to the 2016 version until this problem is fixed??????

Which is why we would love to have Adobe help out in finding someone to take over the plug-ins from Google and make a new go of it. They'll have  gold to start with.

Hi Jeffrey, Many thanks for the feedback and help with this problem. I think we all realise that the Nik Collection will not be useable forever. At present there are no other filters that have the same functionality, flexibility or produce the same image quality.

Kind regards,

David

We're looking at a fix for this issue. I'm hoping we can release an update to work around this in the near future.

That said, we're moving ahead with compiler updates, OS updates, etc. There's no guarantee that Nik plug-ins will work forever in future versions Photoshop, macOS and Windows.

If you have CC, you can always reinstall an old version (see above on how to). If you reinstall 2015.5, it will live alongside 2017.1 nicely—meaning you can even have them both running at the same time. So you can do your edits in 2017, then pop into 2015.5 to run Nik filters without having to close down 2017.1.  You'll want to save your file out of 2017.1 first, of course, and open it into 2015.5 without leaving it open in 2017.1, but you won't have to keep quitting the apps and relaunching them.

I don ́t have old versions saved like that 😕😕

Thanks Jeffrey. If you can find a solution, great. The longer I can use the NIK software the better (old fart set in my ways). If not, first world problem, time to move on.
