Lightroom :: 4 - Elements And Topaz Plugins Don't Work
Mar 6, 2012
I am on an iMac meeting all of the LR4 spec requirements and then some. I just installed the release copy of LR4 this morning and have been playing around with it. I just discovered that the "Edit in" feature does not work at all. This worked fine in my previous version of LR 2.6
When I click on "Edit in" Adobe Elements 10 or Topaz Fusion Express (to call up Adjust or B&W Effects) nothing happens. No error message. No popup. Nada. I went back to my prior version of LR and things still work there.
I also tried the "Edit in" Elements option on my Windows 7 PC 64 bit version of LR4 and at least with Elements it seems to work. I have not installed Fusion Express on the PC yet so I don't know if that works or not.
I recently installed the CC versions of Photoshop and Bridge, but all my plugins disappeared. I've tried reinstalling them, but they still don't appear in Photoshop CC. I use Nik, OnOne, and Topaz plugins - get them to work in Photoshop CC! This is on a Windows 7 PC.
i wish to try to run PScs6 without my Nik and Topaz plug ins to see if it improves speed.is there a way to do this short of simply deleting the plug ins?
Topaz labs plugins don't appear in Photoshop CC, not even after re-installing and restarting Photoshop AND there is no setting for additional plugins in the preferences menu option.
I've installed my topaz plugins but for some reason they are not showing up in my filter drop down like they used to. How to get them in to PHOTOSHOP CC.
Although Paint Shop Pro X4 runs the filters from Topaz Labs correctly on a single file, PSPX4 chokes when running the filters as part of a script in batch files. Not only was the program unable to apply the plug-ins correctly in a batch file, the errors were different depending on the plug-in.
I ran my tests on 8 JPG files with dimensions of 4021x3024 pix, file size averaging 2.8 MB. I then reduced the files to 800x600 pix dimensions and ran the same tests. Results were the same on both size groups. I recorded a script with only each Topaz filter, then tested the script on a single image. The script worked. The problems occurred when run in batch processing. I tested against another company's plug-in, running Alien Skin's Xenofex 2 Burnt Edges in a batch file with script on the 8 images with no problem. I also tested the same Topaz Labs filters in PhotoLine 16, recording and playing actions. The plug-ins ran perfectly in PhotoLine.
When batch processing was run in PSPX4, it was run with the test script selected and silent mode selected. Silent mode means the script should run from start to finish with no intervention by the user. Here's what happened in my tests.
Topaz Adjust 4 - Batch file runs correctly through 4 images, then the process freezes. The Windows Task Manager shows PSPX4 to be "running."
Topaz Detail 2 - Batch file runs correctly through 4 images, then the process freezes. The Windows Task Manager shows PSPX4 to be "running."
Topoaz Clean 3 - Batch file runs, but Topaz window opens on each file, requiring user selection before progressing to next file. However, the process freezes after the fourth image. The Windows Task Manager shows PSPX4 to be "running."
Topaz InFocus - Batch file runs, but Topaz window opens on each file, requiring user selection before progressing to next file. However, the process freezes after the fourth image. The Windows Task Manager shows PSPX4 to be "running."
Topaz Lens Effects - Batch file runs, but Topaz window opens on each file, requiring user selection before progressing to next file. However, the process freezes after the fourth image. The Windows Task Manager shows PSPX4 to be "running."
Topaz DeNoise 5 - Batch file runs for all 8 files, however Topaz window opens on each file, requiring user selection.
How do I get my plugins to work in elements 12? I have them in elements 7. Trying to get them to show up under the filter key like they do in elements 7. I know it has some thing to do with preferences. I have Nic and Topez.
Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? And if not, is Adobe developing plugins for these cameras?
Is there any "easy" to disable the Nik, Topaz, etc., add ins? short of uninstalling them can one start Lightroom 4.1 program with a key or key combo that will disable these add ins?
'm trying to install a color wheel plug-in into Photoshop CS6, however I can't seem to get it to appear in the extensions menu.My biggest problem is that I can't find the folder where the plugin should be placed.I didn't install Photoshop onto my C: drive you see, and when I go into "C:Program Files/Adobe" all that's there is "Common Files".
Now, I tried going onto the drive where it's installed, but when I go I see both an "Adobe" and "Photoshop CS6 (64bit)" folder. There's no extra "Photoshop CS6 (64bit) folder in the Adobe folder, all that's in there is "Patch files" and there's not Plug-ins folder whatsoever in the Photoshop CS6 folder. I tried creating one, but that obviously didn't work. Not even setting that folder as the additional plug-ins folder worked... I'm not sure what else to try or where else to look.
I just installed the trial version of PSCS6 using win xp pro sp3 32 bit. Plug-ins I added to the plug-in folder don't show up in the filter menu after re-start.
Had my windows(7/32) installed again And DPX with latest updates.But now the PS-plugins gives me an error and quit message.The buildin plugins work(enhance-videofilter) Redfield/AV/Mehdi are not.
I recently bought a new computer & re-installed photoshop CS5.1 successfully, but can't get the plug ins to work (phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3, which were a free download with purchase). I am running windows 7 64bit. I copied & pasted them into the plug ins folder (in both applications of photoshop - there is the 32 bit version on 'program files (x86)' & the 64 bit version in 'program files'), but neither will work.
Do these NewBlue FX Plugins work in C VS5? I was trying to install the free Cartoonr plugin but I do not see it after install.Perhaps it's in the wrong folder, or the plugin is not compatible with VS5?Also was considering purchasing the following. Are they compatible with VS5?
got the new Alien Skin plugins to work. When you install Alien Skin, you install to a single directory, both 32 bit and 64 bit plugins. Then in X5, File Locations, I put that directory in the settings but still nothing. maybe X5 doesn't work with them.
I just upgraded from PSE 10 to 12. I was able to get my NIK and my Topaz folders to show up under the filters menu, but not my Alien Skin (Bokeh 2) folder
I have some duplicate plugins that I no longer use and want to delete (for example, two extra versions of the Smugmug publish plugin after I installed a newer one in a different folder, Nikon tether since I don't have Nikon, etc.). But the while the Add button is active, the Remove button is grayed out. I tried both enabled and disabled, but then I realized that Remove is grayed out for all the plugins.
I also tried opening the plugin to edit it. Then the Remove button is not grayed out, but while clicking it does break the connection, it doesn't remove the plugin.
There are no Lightroom plugins in the export dialog left column.
When I click the Plugin manager, LR tells med that the plugins are installed and working, but they do not show up in the export dialog. The actual plugin files are stored in the folder C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.2, the program folder.
I have a problem with referencing an appropriate instance of Ps from Lr. I don't know too much how this works with Lr & Mac, or how it happened, but I apparently have several instances of Ps referencing different plugins, and Lr's default references the wrong one.
History: I tried the Topaz Labs plugins but ended up pruchasing and installing Nik's plugins. I followed Topaz instructions for uninstalling the plugins, but they are still showing up in Ps instances I cannot find.
The appropriate instance of Ps in in my Mac's launch tray, which calls up the app located in the folder '/Applications/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5.1'. If I create an additional Lr external editor that points at this app it works properly. However, the default external editor (Ps) opens up another instance of Ps which does not include Nik plugins, but rather Topaz Labs plugins.
Further, if I try to open a image file from Finder ('open with') I get an "application moved" message (update or not). If I choose either 'update' or 'not to update' it opens an instance of Ps that includes both Topaz and Nik plugins. The message is mysterious, but at least I get an instance of Ps with the plugins I want.
Aside from the mystery, how can I get Lr to reference Ps that will include the Nik plugins?? Also feel free to contribute to the mystery.
I am relatively new to Lightroom and I can't seem to locate my OnOne plugins. The interface is a bit different from Photoshop and where I think it should be it isn't.
