My Nik Collection is not working in Photoshop 24.0   It loads when installs , however after making changes to photo, when I return to Photoshop, the changes do not occur.

    I have the original Nik collection from Google also and have used it in all the different Photoshop versions. I find that if I placed the plug-ins in this directory - 

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

    A while ago, Adobe had advertised 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.

     

     


    I wonder where it is on Mac. I tried getting that free and original Nik Collection under Application/Photoshop/Plugin but it doesn't work on my new computer. My order computer has that and it doesn't work...

      Plugins that failed to load:

       

         Analog Efex Pro 2 NO VERSION -  - from the file “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023\Plug-ins\Nik Collection\Analog Efex Pro 2\Analog Efex Pro 2.8bf”

         BackgroundFilter NO VERSION -  - from the file “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023\Plug-ins\Nik Collection\Dfine 2\Background.8bf”

      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.
