Updated Photoshop now lost Nik plugins

6 years 1 month ago #566082 by Ruben H
About 10 days ago, I updated my Photoshop and for some reason I can't find my Nik plugins.  Before the update, I always accessed Nik plugins via the 'filters' tab within Photoshop.  Well now it's not there.  

Any ideas where or what might have happened here? 

Is Nik still supported by Adobe or did I get a bum download?

You do not specify your old version nor the new version. That information is quite relevant.

That said, there was a major screw up by Adobe about two years ago (-ish) where-in the changed the requirements for where plug-ins go.

If you had presets that you developed, figure out where they are (they're still on your system somewhere).

Your simplest solution is to reinstall. The last free version of Nik can be found with some clever searching, even if it's not on the website any longer. N.B. save your install files in the future.

After the reinstall, figure out where presets go, and put your stuff there.

Sounds like you need to re-install and check again.

How did you get on?
if you are still having issues like many others there´s a discussion on it over at Adobe: forums.adobe.com/thread/2396932
