Is Nik Collection 1.2.11 (free version for Windows) compatible with Photoshop 2023? I've been waiting since Saturday for an answer from Adobe... quite happy to charge a monthly subscription, yet there is NO tech. support available 😡

I found problems with the current version of Photoshop and Nik. For peace of mind I finally purchased Nik.

However, some people have successfully run the free Nik. Check out this link for advice in the video and comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR2ljLNUWJ8

Thankyou for your reply - I actually downloaded Nik (free) from the link
that this guy suggests (after checking that it was legit). The Nik suite
appears under filters in Ps, so I know they are installed. But the message
when trying to open one of them is 'could no complete the Colour Efex Pro 4
(the same for any of the choices) command because of a problem with the
filter module interface'.
So sadly, still no joy...

By @MoSavy

I have the original Nik collection from Google also and have used it in all the different Photoshop versions. I found that when I copied and placed the plug-ins in this directory they work.  - 

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC (Windows OS) 

A while ago, Adobe had mentioned that PS Plug-Ins should now be stored in:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC and that's where all my Plug-Ins are. I've never had any dramas with any plug-ins when I install new Photoshop versions

So, try can copy your Google/Nik folder from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023\Plug-ins\Nik Collection\ to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC and see if that makes a difference.

Thank you for your reply -
I had already copied the files to the folder you suggested, as they were
not visible in PS in the other folder (that they installed into).
When I try to use one of the NIK suite in PS, i get this message -

So I'm stumped...

Did you copy the whole Google/Nik folder intact as is?
