Selective Tool Not working in NIK plug in

[Debra Boucher]

When using the NIK color Efex Pro filter with PS (yes I have the latest versions of both),  I continue to get the same message.

You are in the selective editing mode. Click "Discard" or "Apply" to return to Photoshop's normal functionality. 

Sure there's a workaround, however, after paying for the CLOUD and NIK I should not have to perform any workarounds.  When oh when will this issue be fixed?  I am a MAC user

Thanks

This sounds like an issue with the NIK plugin, not Photoshop. Have you contacted NIK support?

I have contacted NIK, (DXO) and currently waiting for a reply.  Thank you for responding.  I hope they won't say to contact Adobe.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

I have issues with the Nik Selective Tool too (in the past few months it won't work) & I'm on a Win 10 PC Ps 2021 rel. 22.4.2. This is so frustrating. I don't even remember what the workaround was that I had to use several gens ago (and it was annoying then too after having bought all the original Nik products for over $350 then buying 1-2 over-priced DxO (no signif value-add) updates.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure there are a LOT more of us out there. It’s just very frustrating because you know you’ve tried everything and still it does not work. The latest suggestion for me to try was to download the update………ummm………yep did that and no didn’t solve anything. My workaround is to use layer masks in photoshop.

Hoping some day this is resolved. Planning on upgrading my computer soon…….gee…….wonder if any of those plug ins will work on a new computer. Good Luck to you.

I have exactly the same issue here. I have message Dox so many times and even Adobe but no resolution yet. I have no idea what to do with this situation. I am sure that so many people raised this issue by now, but no one knows the solution yet... it very frustrating 😒

I am having the exact same issue as the original post.  I just downloaded NIK for the first time today and am having nothing but problems with PS.  I keep getting that same error message.  I am thinking I will get NIK off of my computer, stop the free trial and get back to editing the old fashioned way!

I am having the exact same issue.  Just downloaded NIK and my PS is running slower than ever and I keep getting the error message click "discard" or "apply" to return to PS normal functionality.  I am really frustrated.  I have liked what I have done so far using the NIK download, but am ready to ask for a refund.
