![]() ![]() That is not an “upgrade path” - it is a complete waste of time to have to do all that rework in the first place.įurther, what I was told about the co-existance issue is pure malarkey, and sounds more like corp-speak. But there is no easy way to do that because (1) finding those images in bulk would be an onerous task, and (2) I cannot run the old version of Nik (to understand what I did) on the same machine as the newer version of Nik (to make the updates). The upgrade path I was advised to follow was to rework the (hundreds of) images to use the new filter code base for those filters that were updated. I did get an answer from soemone on these user forums (platypus?) that neither co-existence nor support for Smart Objects created in Nik 3 or earlier were not supported and never would be because of the “new code base” for the filters. However, when I brought this oversight up to Nik development, I got crickets. Reverting rom Nik 4 back to 3 was a pain, but quite doable. My buddy was right: Nik 5 (and Nik 4, as I also found out) did not support Smart Objects created by earlier versions of the updated filters. I almost made that same mistake with Nik 5, until a fellow photographer pointed out the defficiency in DxO’s approach to supporting older versions. I have been using smart objects for my Nik edits since about 2009 or '10 in pretty much every instance of using a Nik filter - it seemed like the correct way to go and was fully supported by Nik, Google, and DxO up to Nik 3, and of course was consistent with the non-destructive editing workflow in Adobe. In fairness, I did not install the trial first, so it was competely my fault for not doing my due diligence - but who knew I had to: to my knowledge, DxO did not warn anyone about this omission. I purchased and upgraded to Nik 4 only to find out later that it did not honour Ps Smart Objects created for Nik 3 or earlier (for SEP2 and Viveza 2 only in Nik 4).
