opening silver efex pro from CO7

Jay Pegg
I have done a complete re-install and I'm having difficulty getting silver efex pro working using "process recipe ." Clicking the "open with" bar gives a popup with various choices including all the plug-ins in the NIK suite except for silver efex pro. I can bring it in using "other," which brings it in but it will not process. Neither does email using "other." I had both of these working before the re-install. I am a convert from A3 which I rarely use anymore but I think CO developers could possibly implement the A3 "right click" on an image to bring up plug-ins. jp

    Jay, I am having the same issue. The only difference being that I have not done a re-install. I have all the suite showing and can open all but Silver Efex Pro, HDR Efex Pro, and Color Efex Pro. They do not show on my drop down list. I can go into "other" and pull them up but they will not open. I can create a live recipe but the "open" remains "none". I have tried quitting CO and reopening but nothing changes. I am baffled. Any ideas, anyone??

    Well, I had trouble getting silver efex pro installed before the re-install but somehow did, however I can't remember how! I do remember it still didn't come up on the popup. I had to activate it with "other." Hugely frustrating. jp

    Tried it, and a no go here as well.
    Oh yeah, open in mail doesn't work either.

    I'm having the same issue with silver efex. Other NIK apps are fine except that CO7 picks up color efex 3 instead of 4 which I installed eons ago...

    Any tips on that one??

    I made another go at figuring this out last night.

    I wonder if this problem comes from the new NIK set from Google rather than the NIK apps themselves. I noticed that the new apps are in a folder NIK COLLECTION rather than the old NIK SOFTWARE folder - and some of the old apps are in the old folder and some are not - silver efex being one that is not.

    I tried just renaming the folder to NIK SOFTWARE and restarting everything, but that didn't help either.

    I can't make the silver efex or color efex 4 launch at all. In fact the only PS plugin that seems to work consistently from within CO7 is Perfect Photo Suite by OnOne software - this is slow to launch etc, but it works, including the BW section. I don't totally understand the processing yet, so I may be making it harder on myself, but I can save edits and then process through PPS pretty well - just really a slow and kludgey way to work.
