Installing Nik Software in Photoshop CC.

How do I install Nik software into Photoshop CC when the host box remains empty. You have the option of a custom host but what do I choose? Would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

    Contact Nik/Google for updates to their plugins that fix the bugs in their plugin code.


    I thought I would provide an update on this issue.  I contacted the Google Nik support group today and they were super helpful.  First they sent me the link to download the latest version of Nik Collection which was released two weeks ago.  I was having problems downloading the latest drivers to my AMD Radeon HD 7900 series card and the support guys found the the driver update and sent me a link.  After updating the drivers I still experienced the crashing issue.  Then he walked me through to completely remove all traces of the Nik Collection from the Adobe folder and the C drive.  The we did a fresh install of the Nik Collection and everything is working perfectly both on my Photoshop CS5.1 and Photoshop CC.

    Huge kudos to the support group at Google Nik.  They were friendly and very helpful.

    I've just checked it on Mac OS X (10.8.4). Works without any problems.

    Run the nik installation programme, it will not detect Photoshop CC so you have to add it to the progs nik software will install in. Press the +button and add the path to the plug in folder in the Photoshop programme directory.

      Already tried Dave Rosser's suggestion, it does not work. The Nik files do get loaded into the plug-ins directory but CC does not recognize them.

        Thought I would share this from another forum (worked for me):

        Thought I'd pass on, but I got NIK to work on Photoshop CC by copying the folder Google from the Photoshop CS6 plugin folder and pasting it into the Photoshop CC plugin folder on a Windows machine at least.
