Will NIK work with Paintshop? If so, how?
Thanks, Pat

If you're up for learning a new one, PS Elements is well worth it to get the free Nik :)

Nuts!
I tried to change a few years ago.
I'm still with Paint shop.
Thanks, Linda.

NIK will probably work with Paintshop Pro X8. I was able to get NIK apps installed with PSP X6. PSP is compatible with most plugins designed for PhotoShop. PhotoShop plugins are files with an "8bf" extension.

Read this article to see what is involved.

I was able to use their Method 2. On my computer, I found the NIK plugins had been installed in the folder "C:\Program Files\Google\Nik Collection". I added that path to the PSP plugins, restarted PSP, and the NIK apps are available as PSP plugins. They seem to work but I haven't tested all of them yet.

Nik plug-ins only work with older 32 bit versions of Paintshop pro from X6 to older versions, one person claims it will work on X7 and X8 but I have not successfully been able to install the plug-in.

The Nik filters work wonderfully with PSP X8 64bit, I bet you forgot to set the location in PSP, File>preferences>file location then just tell PSP where it is.

That's because you are smart and not gullible or susceptible to the pressure tactics of that other crowd. Bravo.

Rborud, I have tried that many times by recommendation of one source to no avail. I'll make another attempt, maybe I am doing something wrong here.

Here's my Paint Shop Pro settings. The Nik plug-ins work fine with X8. I had some problems with X7.

I like those Topaz plugins, especially Adjust. Do you not have Athentech's Perfectly Clear? Also nice.
