I too, am using the old free Nik collection as well. I lost it when I updated to Ps2020, I was able to reinstall it, and it use it, but when I apply my edits it doesn't save the changes when it reverts back to the Ps panel. Any clue what's wrong? Thanks!

I found a solution on youtube that might work for you and others who experience filters not applying upon exit of the plugin. Try coverting the layer you're working on into a Smart Object prior to using the Nik filter; disregard warning; apply desired filters; exit; flatten layers when finished.

Please bear with me on this, but I may have found another piece of the NIK not working in CC2020 puzzle. I upgraded to 2020 recently on my windows desktop, on which i have migrated NIK to successive Photoshop iterations since 2012. 2020 successfully found NIk and it works fine on the dsktop. However, on a new laptop, with no history of NIK or Photoshop upgrades, 2020 couldnt' find NIK, not even if I pasted the Google/NIK files to the 2020 Plugins file folder. I found my old original NIK exe file and installed it on my new laptop, and NIK works fine. Here is what the NIK software installed which didn't exist before i tried transfering the exe file

C/ProgramFiles/Google/Analog Efex, Color Efex etc etc . So i'm no programmer, but i surmise 2020 is looking for this Google folder under programs before it can launch the NIK collection since the filter files are all under Plugins/GOOGLE/etc etc Would love feedback on this thanks

Very effective post. Thank you.

I found from that an event simplier solution : choose directly the plugins subfolder during installation

The copy and paste worked for me, managed to get SilverEfex working under Filters menu in PS 2020 and pulled through to Photoshop. Win 10 user - Old free version of Nik collection.

Hi there,

As you're not able to use the nik plugin collection in Photoshop, could you please update Photoshop to version 21.0.1 and then reinstall the nik collection and see if it works?

Regards,
Sahil

Correct answer

For Windows you just need to copy the Google folder from this location

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Plug-ins

to this location

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020\Plug-ins

It's working fine for me with Photoshop 2020, old free Nik Collection
