PSPX5 adding Nik Collection not successful

Post by Sempervivum »

Hallo,
today I tried to add the Nik Collection to my PSPX5 but I was not successful. Added the path of the 8bf file to the plugin paths but PSP doesn't show the plugin in the effects menu. No errors are output. Restart of PSPX5 and the computer didn't help.
Any ideas?
Best regards - Ulrich

They are only for 64bit. Please read the above posts on these plugins.

Hallo Maureen,
thanks for this answer. My system is 64 bit, thus this should not be the problem. What do you mean writing "above posts"?

Those of us who have successfully installed them have either PSP X8 or have installed the NIK filters in X7 using a script.

Your system might be 64 bit, but are you running the 64 bit version of PSP or the 32 bit version?

Hallo and thanks for the additional replies. I found the solution in another thread about the Nik plugins: One has to set the folder for installing Nik to the plugins directory (first choice). The second choice can be left empty. Doing it in this way I can select the plugins in the effects menu. Unfortunately PSPX5 crashes when activating the HDR plugin but the other ones seem to work fine.
