![]() ![]() I roundtrip the file through Photoshop with ‘Edit in > Open as a Smart Object’ (because that enables me to modify the underlying raw file if necessary and also to go back and update a setting such as a Nik filter effect, even after it has been saved back to Lightroom). Since I upgraded to High Sierra on Mac (15"mid 2017 MBP 14,3) I too am experiencing the Photoshop crashing problem when a Nik Filter is re-adjusted. (FYI, I am also on a Mac, an M1 mini, and at Monterey 12.5.I’m an experienced professional photographer and longtime user of Nik Collection. Hopefully DxO is still refining how changes get passed to Lightroom and this will improve over time. The other thing I saw while trying to find a way around the performance problem was that if I initially created the TIFF file with one of the Nik apps that hasn’t been updated to the new UI (Dfine or the Sharpener Pro apps)… then worked on the same images in Color Efex Pro 5, Lightroom handled them normally. The 5.1 version has improved things for me, though it’s still slower than it was with Color Efex Pro 4. Lightroom would get stuck “writing metadata” or “reading metadata” – something that should happen so quickly you don’t notice it. If I tried to process several images in Color Efex as a batch, then I’d have to force close Lightroom. ![]() After I edited a TIFF file in Color Efex Pro 5, and returned to Lightroom, Lightroom would be unresponsive for several minutes, but would eventually finish updating the image. I was having a similar problem with versions 5.0.1 and 5.0.2. The release notes have a fix listed, described as a correction for “Long loading of the Nik Collection effect while saving changes from Nik Collection to Lightroom Classic.” If you’re still having this problem, you might try upgrading to Nik version 5.1. LR is working absolutely fine for everything else, Nik excepted, including other plugins such as Topaz. I have tried uninstalling, Nik and re-installing it but this has made no difference. In addition, LR becomes sluggish and mist functions on the dit bar are greyed out… On return to LR, the "Nik-edited’ image shows BUT there is no histogram and the keywords flash on and off like a set of blinking Christmas lights. Now I can send the image to the plugin and edit it there. I installed this and although it still doesn’t work, the errors are different. Recently, Nik brought out a new version (5.02 I think ). ![]() This made no difference, so I stopped using Nik at all. the equivalent of the Windows Ctrl-Alt-Del. LR would then become unresponsive and I had to "force close it " i.e. Initially when attempting to edit the file in any Nik 5 plugin (Silver Efex, ColorEfex etc), nothing happened except that I got an extra. The issue started when I upgraded from Nik 4 to Nik 5 some weeks back. System specs are: 2017 27" 4.2GHz Quadcore Intel i7 64GB RAM) (I am using a Mac with Monterey v12.5 - it was 12.4 when the problem first occurred. When I attempt to edit a file in any of the Nik Collection (as plugins for Lightroom) I have problems which ultimately result in me having to close LR and lose any changes made in Nik. ![]()
