Adobe Creative Cloud/Google Nik users: GREAT NEWS!

The new CC-2017 update (PS/LR/BRIDGE) kicked out my Nik plug-ins this morning (11/7/2016). Of course, I totally panicked and my B/P increased significantly. Imagine my surprise when I called Adobe and they very graciously offered to restore third-party Nik (Google-owned) to their Adobe products.

What the hell is going on? I had three employees at Lowes trying to help me yesterday in Brevard. The South Carolina DMV is actually a pleasant place. And now Adobe admits that third party plug-in software exists, and actually helps install it if you have it downloaded.

Life is good!

If PS 2017 is doing a side-by-side install, like all Adobe major version updates do, then you will need to install the plug-ins again if you were not using the newer "install once and never again" folder for PS plug-ins. At least, that is how it works in theory.

I have yet to install the 2017 version.

But I am not very computer savvy. The point is, Adobe now is willing to co-operate .. and that warms my heart!

Adobe is not known for the best customer support.

I will probably do the update later this week.
