Very lovely ! I especially like those against a black background. Very beautiful.

Stunningly Beautiful !

Thank you Bob.

I got it to work and so glad I did. I often would like to know just how and with what a shot was made.
Appreciate your help as well as your posting such great photos.
Thanks again,

Lille

Very beautiful !

Bob I have a question about looking at photos here on UHH. When someone, like yourself, posts a shot here is there a way I can look at the meta data of that photo to learn what camera, lens, lens setting, etc were used to make the shot ?

I often see such beautiful photos and wonder just what was used to shoot them.

Thanks !

I believe Lightroom 6.9 will do just fine for you.

I have a Lowepro " Flipside Sport 15L AW " camera backpack for sale.

I bought this backpack from B&H a couple of years ago and decided not to use it. So it's brand new, still in the wrapper !
B&W no longer carries this backpack but it is available on ebay for $145.00
This is what the bag looks, like though mine is blue : https://www.ephotozine.com/article/lowepro-flipside-sport-15l-aw-camera-bag-review-19776

Brand New ! $50 + shipping.

Thanks !

Got it !

It seems that I somehow managed to install NIK once and parts of NIK a second time. Lightroom must not have liked that. I've uninstalled the entire NIK suite and reinstalled it ( for about the 4th time ) and it now works just dandy.

Thanks everyone for your advice and help.

More to the point is ... Why do I almost ALWAYS have problems with stuff like this ? I suspect it's a logic thing. The logic that I seem to follow just never seems to be the same logic that my computer follows.

Therefore it would seem that the Silver Efex must be somehow corrupt (?) . I've downloaded the NIX suite about three times now trying to get it to work. I suppose that it's quite possible that I've somehow screwed things up by doing that. I'll go start from scratch again....remove NIK completely and try again.

Thank you

What a surprise...Yes they do ! They open a separate NIK window.

Yep, I've tried that too. Same thing....same options and the same results.

I've tried to find a number to contact them, but I can't seem to find one. I thought that possibly since Google no longer supports the software they've hidden the phone number from me. I'll go spend more time looking.

Thanks

Yes, I've watched a number of Youtube videos about using the software and for everyone else ( other than me it seems ) a seperate window opens. But not for me !

Hope I can explain this clearly enough...

I've downloaded the Google NIK Collection with the intention of using the Silver Efex module to adjust B&W photos from Lightroom. Can't seem to get it to work. Not smart enough to figure out why.

When in Lightroom if I select a photo and right click on it I can then select the option to " Edit in Silver Efex Pro2.exe ..." from a drop down box. When I select that option a box opens with three options. The default option is to " Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments " In that box I then click the 'Edit' button. Then a slider opens in the upper left corner of Lightroom that says " Preparing file for edit " . Then the slider closes and then ... NOTHING ! NIK does not open, the Silver Efex doesn't open. Nothing. I'm simply looking at the photo in Lightroom.

I've tried deleting the NIK package and reloading it a few times but I simply can't seem to get the photo to transfer to Silver Efex. I'm Stumped !

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks Jay ! Sure you don't want two of them ?
