Just upgraded the Adobe Cloud (at Adobe's suggestion) and now Photoshop CC can't find the NIK "filters" (under the Filter menu or any other menu I can think of). Tried re-installing the NIK filters from a saved installer, but was informed that a newer version is currently installed.

So: Where, now, are DFINE, VIVEZA, Color EFEX, Silver EFEX, etc? I've already looked in the plug-in folders for both PS and PS 64 bit).

Running Windows 7.

Thanks for any help.

Try re-downloading the latest version of NIK from their site and run it. Hopefully it will fix the problem

There was a posting the other day (which I can't find for you) where others were saying they too were having issues of lost/missing filters, someone posted a site to go to and retrieve what was missing. Sorry can't be of more help, I do think it was earlier this week.

Thanks to all for the input. Was ready to try the suggested fix from Google, but decided to open PS one more time (I'd done this numerous times yesterday), and THERE IT WAS!

The Magic of the Internet, I guess.

Again, thanks to all (and I'm not losing the suggestions, just in case this problem crops up again).

Hey Coolhoosier, Nik, even under their new management, is great about this. I had the same problem and called their customer support. They immediately sent me a link so I could re-download the suite. They have your name and info on record, so it's an easy matter.

You just have to tell PS where the folder is that the filters reside in.

Sometimes you can just copy/paste them all into one folder and then tell PS where that folder is...that's what I did.

Awesome, this worked like a charm. Thanks, warrenvon.
