So, when I activate the Internet connection, the software works again, but it's unusable. After opening it, it closes after a few seconds (less than a minute) and is impossible to work with. This happens in both Photoshop and standalone. I also noticed that when I delete the nikcollection8.key license, the software asks for an alphanumeric code to enter in the panel. Could entering a valid code be the solution?
This happens to me also, tried all that I know, even patching from within the created main folder and still just force closes after about 5 seconds. Ive just reverted back to using a previous version.
I've just checked on my system and, to my surprise, it closed after a few seconds. This has never happened before. Could it be related to a recent Photoshop update? @Dav3, could you please confirm which version works for you? I will edit the thread, remove the last version, and update the download link to point to the working version.
Usually, a Photoshop update doesn't modify 3 party plugins or programs. The only reason it came to my mind in this situation is major update but from version X to Y, regular updates? Hummm strange
I've tried this previous version and it works: https://p-v.club/threads/dxo-nik-collection-8-windows.62567/
I've just installed it and have the Plugin opened in Photoshop for more than 15 minutes without problems so far...
Version 8.0.12 works great (but only with an active internet connection). Thanks petersan. Unfortunately, I can't find/activate the Nik panel that allows me to use advanced commands like masks to import into Photoshop. Any help?
In the filter, for example Nik Color Efex I'm using now, on the filter just click Brush and Nik will create a black mask. Use the Brush tool in Photoshop, you don't need the panel. I have it legal and I'm never use it
In Photoshop, when I apply a Nik filter, I get a message to use the Nik Panel if I want to use the advanced options (like masks) and find them in Photoshop. But I can't see or find it in Photoshop.
The new version 8.2 has been released, does it have licensing issues (like the old version) or does it work well?
Unfortunately, version 8.2/8.2.2 also has a licensing issue. Even when left connected to the Internet, the panel closes after a few seconds. Any idea how to fix this?
