Title: DXO-NIK Plugins
Post by: IanSeward on June 12, 2018, 03:12:26 am

Just a heads up.  C1Pro does not have a plugin architecture but the "edit with" provides an alternative workflow. 

Looks like you can call the individual DXO-NIK plugins from "edit with" and they work.  By using "edit with" and "open with" you can choose to maintain the individual steps or just run them on top of the initial "edit with".

Not fully tested but thought others might want to take a look as well :-)

Thanks for the information.

The Edit With works fine. Open With Will not work if you are starting with RAW files. The file type needs to be tiff (16bit) or jpeg. NIK does not like RAW or PSD.

I used an Output Receipt for a 100% Tiff 16bit and set the Open With to NIK Color Efex Pro 4 and put it in the Capture Folder and the processed Tiff ended up in the Capture folder with the changes.

I have tested "open with" in a session but although the file is modified the preview shown by C1Pro is the "original".  Need to do more testing :-)
