Nik Collection does not work with Photoshop CC 64-bit but with 32-bit

Hi,

though the Nik-Collection-Filters are listed (and installed) in PS CC 64, they do not work properly. The first visible difference is, that the "panel" of the various filters is not displayed when I start PS, but it is in the 32 bit version.

Even if I want to apply an Nik-Filter on an image nothing changes, but it does in 32 bit mode.

Is there a solution for this problem?

Thanks!

Which platform are you using?  I'm on Windows 8, so if you're on Mac there may be something different.  Also, be sure you pointed the Nik installer(s) at the Plug-ins folder...I accidentally pointed directly at the Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit) folder directly the first time, and it didn't work.


Now I solved the problem. Not via re-installing but by copying the "Google" Folder from Photoshop CS6 64 Plugin-Ins bit to Photoshop CC 64 bit Plug-Ins.

I do not know, why the plugin was not working after I've installed it.

(Im using Windows 8, 64 bit).

Windows 10/Photoshop 2017 users:

Convert your layer to a smart layer and plug-in effects will work!

30 dislikes to Google for buying the plug-in sets and not upgrading them anymore!!

I had the same problem, and came across this posting from Nik/Google:

It seems to work in Photoshop CC (64-bit) after following those steps.  It's a bit tedious, but you only need to do it once thankfully.

Well I followed this posting from Google, and I can see the plugin within the list of the filters but when I try to apply them, they do not work

Please contact Nik/Google for updates to their plugins.
