Anyone else having a problem access their Nik Collection in the CC 2015 update?  I can't connect either LR or PS with it.  Thanks.

With Lightroom CC 2015.1 I had no issues. All plug-ins just showed up.  Now with Photoshop you have to reinstall plug-ins with the newer version.  The way I did it was to copy all plug-ins from the previous version and paste into Plug-ins in the updated version. After doing that all worked just fine.

Thanks, Stu, that worked!  I was a bit hesitant because the Nik support site said not to do that.  But... what do they know, anyway?  Thanks, again.

Yeah, I don't know how to do that!

Jglaser --  Here's how it worked for me.  First I made sure PS CC 2015 was not open.  Then, using Windows Explorer I went to the directory "Program Files --> Adobe --> Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 --> Plug-ins"  and copied all the directories under it (which includes the files) and then pasted them into the directory "Program Files --> Adobe --> Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 --> Plug-ins" 

Hope this helps...

I've been in touch with Google Nik team over a separate issue, and they told me that a new version to work better with CC 2015 was to be rolled out over the next few days.  The guy was going to email me when it happened, and he hasn't done so yet, so I assume that means there's something new soon.

I just downloaded and installed the trial version from the website and it seems to work fine.
No need to activate the trial version after.

I've just had a further email from Google confirming that Nik Collection has been updated and is now CC 2015 friendly.

Same here, the updated installer works fine. Prior to using the new updated Nik installer, I had just dragged over the old Google (Nik) folder from CC 2014, and that had seemed to work too. But this is a better, safer way to do it.

Need some help here.  I use a Mac and all Nik plug-ins are opening and immediately closing after I installed the latest version of Lightroom (Creative Cloud version).  I just downloaded and reinstalled the trial version of Nik and it has the same problem.  Any ideas?

On my photoshop I used to have a little Nik window that sat over PS.  But it's disappeared with the new PS CC update.  I got the plugins back by transferring them from the old PS plugin folder to the new one, but the little Nik window hasn't showed up.  Any idea how I get it back?

Bernie, the little Nik window is called the Selective Tool, and you can open it by navigating to File > Automate > Nik Collection Selective Tool. When it opens, go to Settings in the bottom left of the window, where you can control whether it opens automatically each time PS starts, or not.

Had the same problem. Went to the NIK support page and found that the plugin will show after one UNCHECKS "Store Presets with catalog" in Preferences.
After doing this, the NIK collection works fine.
