So I switched to Win7 64 bit and installed CS5, when I went to install the Nik Suite, I pointed it to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins for the install and it does not show up under the filters drop down, anyone else experience this?
Dang, I was hoping that would be it, but there is no "enable" under preferences\plug ins
there was a check box for an additional plug in folder but even using that to point right at the nik folder does nothing. this is getting extremely frustrating, it defeats the purpose of installing 8 gig of ram to run the filters under the 32 bit version of PS
hmmm maybe it's just the version of Nik, this is from the Adobe Help Site:
Third-party plug-ins for 32-bit versions of Photoshop don't appear under the Filter menu when you run the 64-bit version of Photoshop. If it's necessary to use plug-ins that haven't been updated, run the 32-bit version of Photoshop. When you are done using the plug-ins, close the 32-bit version. Then, run the 64-bit version. Contact the plug-in manufacturer for information about any updates.
what i'm finding online is it will only work in 32 bit mode of PS, did you find that to be the case Robert?
My Niks ran on the 64-bit version of CS5. I'm running CS6 now, but oddly enough I see I'm actually using the 32-bit version right now. My Niks and Topazes aren't showing up in the 64-bit, but that's no surprise, I haven't tried to enable them there yet.
