NBP Photoshop Plugins Collection (Win Mac)
Sacha Weakland
I finally upgraded my mac so I can run PS 2023 - in doing so, I purchased the most recent NIK plug-ins (they've been part of my workflow since they were free with google). with the new computer, new compatible PS software, I figured why not, and purchased the newest NIK plugins... and I'm glad I did. The plugins connected right to photoshop automatically and are under the "filters" menu. It's a little different, but many of the same tools and presets and new ones as well. My images have nev
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...
I have got the original Google Nik Collection 1.2.11. Which I purchased from them for 120.00 in 2014 and then in 2017, Google sold the Nik Collection to collection to DxO Labs.
So, my Google Nik Collection is from Google and not from DxO Labs.
When you first start the installation of the Nik collection, it will start and open up only Adobe Bridge for you to be able to add the Plug-ins.
From there: click on the + mark sign and choose the location main folder.
Which the location is in the C: Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop\Plug-ins folder.
Select the Plug-ins folder and then Click OK and then it will install and create a folder in Photoshop\Plug-ins folder.

My images have never looked better. I'd recommend the newest version. The only issue I've seen is the HD plug in (still looks like version 2 while the rest are 6). It doesn't work right... otherwise, its awesome.
So what version of the Nik Collection have you got, for you are not able to work in Photoshop?
The best way to install Nik Collection in order to work properly and the way I found it worked for me!
Turns ou taht reinstalling the nik 5 after downloading from their site (my license is ofcourse valid) fixed the problem - DxO was the same btw. During the reinstallation, the app finds the current Adobe versions ( I subscribe) and fixes it all to work again.
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.
Ok, probably i figured out how to do, thats gone work. So... I instaled again Photoshop 2022, reinstaled google nik collection (nikcollection-full-1.2.11). When instalation of nik collection starts he finds only Adobe Bridge, click + mark and choose location to your main PS2022 folder.
When the installation of Nik collection starts, it finds only Adobe Bridge, click on the + mark sign and choose the location main folder.
Which is in C: Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023\Plug-ins folder.
I'm on Mac Montery PS 24 and the Google Filters opens, but crashes PS when the filter is applied (Silver Effects). Anyone else? To address some other people's problems: I've had the filter act like it was working and then failing to produce the usual new layer. A work around is to then apply the filter again from PS last filter in the drop down. This applies the filter effect to the original without the layer. Any help on the full PS crash appreciated.
Intel I7 and Intel HD graphics, thankfully this wasn't the problem, I've managed to now fix it.
I've always had to drag and drop my files every year but this year with PS23 there wasn't a physical folder to drag and drop but the good news I right clicked and found there is a 'show package contents' on the application and inside that I was able to drag and drop the NIK collection plus-ins and it is now working as it should. :party_popper:
Hi @rodrigounda, which version of the Nik Collection are you using? It's working fine for me (Windows 10, Photoshop 24.3 Release). When you say it doesn't work at all, is it grayed out on your menu? Is it crashing before or on trying to launch? Do all the other filters work normally? Does this happen with any image you try with the filters? Did you check the Image > Mode of the file? If it worked fine on the previous release, you may need to revert until you can figure out what's happening. Any more details you can provide will be good to know to see if we can help.
