Go to your admin account, where HDR Efex Pro is showing in the plugin manager.
OK, let's see if we can get the plugin to load, from your description above I think you may be trying to load the actual application as a plug in which won't work.
HDR Efex Pro 2 shows up with the rest of the Nik Collection under Applications in Finder so it appears to be on my system but I would be grateful if anyone could please tell me how to access it from Lightroom! However, the only choices I can see in the main "Export To" drop down box are email, hard drive and CD/DVD. Then click the "Add" button under the Preset list, and title the Preset "HDR Efex Pro 2." HDR Efex Pro 2 will now be available under the Export With Preset menu." "If Lightroom was installed prior to running the installer for HDR Efex Pro 2 and HDR Efex Pro 2 is not available, the Export settings within Lightroom may not be correctly enabled. The Google suggestion for this is as follows: However, the instructions tell you not to use this method for HDR Efex Pro 2 and so I had to search for the method of doing this. Type in the name of the plug-in such as"Viveza 2" and click Create." Under Preset click the drop down selector and choose, "Save Current Settings as New Preset" from the list.ġ0. Set the file format to "TIFF", Color Space to sRGB (or the one of your choice), Bit Depth to 16-bit, Resolution to 240, and Compress to None.ĩ. Once located, select the program or application file as indicated above and click "Choose".Ĩ. For other products, replace Viveza 2 with the appropriate product.ħ. Typically it can be found at either, C:\Program Files\Google\Nik Collection\Viveza 2\Viveza 2.exe, OR Macintosh HD |Applications | Nik Collection | Viveza 2 | Viveza 2. Midway down on the right click on the "Choose" button and locate the Nik Collection application file for your product. Click on the "External Editing" tab at the top of preferences.Ħ. While Lightroom is still open, click Edit> Preferences OR Lightroom > Preferences.ĥ. This morning I downloaded the Nik Collection and, eventually, after following Google's troubleshooting suggestion to manually install, most of the Collection now appears under Photo>Edit In. Hello, this is my first post on these forums.
