To those in the West Virginia Workshop… Here is the FIX for the install issues with the Nik Filters and Photoshop CC!

Thank you for contacting Nik by Google. Since it is a brand new host, the Nik Collection may not have detected Photoshop CC on the computer.  However, you can put it into Photoshop CC with a manual installation. Please follow the steps below to install the Nik Collection to Adobe Photoshop CC:

On a Windows:

If you own a previous version of Photoshop

If you do not have a previous version of Photoshop installed please skip to “only version of photoshop” below.

1. Make sure all versions of Photoshop are closed.
   
2. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop xx\Plug-ins\
   
3. Copy the Google folder to your Desktop.
   
4. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Plug-ins\
   
5. Move the Google folder from the Desktop into the Plug-ins folder.
   
6. Restart Photoshop to confirm the plug-ins are there.
   

 

If the Creative Cloud is your only version of Photoshop

1. Make sure all versions of Photoshop are closed.
   
2. Run the Nik Collection installer from the file you received via email and downloaded. If you no longer have this file, please email customer support to have the file sent to you again.
   
3. During the installation process when you get to the Compatible Host Application window, you will notice a plus sign (+) to add an install location. Click that button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CC\Plug-Ins\. (*See attached screenshot).
   
4. Complete the installation, then open Photoshop CC to ensure that the plug-ins have successfully been installed.
   

These steps will install to Photoshop CC 64-bit. You can check the version of Photoshop by opening Help > System info. The first line will either say x32 or x64 respectively. You can open Photoshop 64-bit directly from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64-bit)\Photoshop.exe.
