I already paid for Nik once, won't pay for it again!
but if you look at the web page, there 42 new presets for the main modules plus a free upgrade to PhotoLab (for those who use it). besides by now, the original collection is probably older technology even if they do still work.
Google NIK does work as a plug-in for Photoshop CC 2020, but Adobe changed the location of where plug-ins need to be located. This new location, Adobe assures, will stay consistent across future updates so we don't have this problem with our plug-ins getting broken.Has anyone upgraded to DXO Nik? and does it work with PS CC 2020? Unfortunately Google NIK doesn't, so I am running 2 versions of PS just to use NIK. Thinking it may be worth upgrading. Anyone done it?
@BackdoorArts can you give a comparison between these two since you've used both extensively? [MENTION=13090]Horoscope Fish[/MENTION] have you used both of these? I know previously you used the Nik Collection. I can't remember your knowledge about Topaz.Opinions on NIK vs Topaz?

If you're running a Windows PC and have the installer for NIK just reinstall it using the path to the proper location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC
If you don't have the installer for Google's version of NIK I can provide you a copy.
Awesome. So glad it worked out!!I've tried a few things that didn't work obviously. I'll try this. Thanks. Couldn't find ANYTHING online that actually worked
*** Addit*** Thankyou sooooooooooooo much. It worked!! Cool!!
Awesome. So glad it worked out!!
GAH! Okay, one last possible fix and a bit of a brute force approach.I have to take it back Its there, and all the filters etc are there but they won't apply Got any suggestions? or.... hang on maybe its just my recipes. Off I go again.....
Nope... not applying the filters Damn. I was excited. Will have to reinstall and back to CC2019
I have older versions of Topaz Adjust, Clarity, Restyle and Black and White but I think all of those individual plug-in have since been combined into "Topaz Studio". The only up-to-date Topaz plug-in I have is Denoise, which I like very much. It didn't come cheap but I'm glad I have it. NIK Tools I've had for what seems like forever and I still use some of the plug-ins from time to time, others not so much.@BackdoorArts can you give a comparison between these two since you've used both extensively?

I wouldn't really know where to start comparing NIK vs Topaz, especially considering I have old versions of Topaz with the exception of Denoise. NIK is still available for free which makes it a no-brainer in my opinion even if it's just to have it around, I mean why not? Topaz has some great tools, I just think the cost means considering what you're getting versus what you're spending and how you typically edit your images.

First you're going to copy the known-to-be-working Google folder from PS 2019 to PS 2020 but using a new location:
Navigate here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Plug-ins
Ctrl+C to copy the "Google" folder
Navigate here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins
Ctrl+V to paste the "Google" folder
Then you're going to run the NIK installer and when prompted about where to install, you're going to browse to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins and click OK.
If THAT doesn't have you up and running properly I will admit defeat.
The folder thing would definitely be a problem but it sounds like you've got things ironed out. Yea!!... Seems when I reinstalled, it put it in a folder call "nik Colection" and NOT Google. Maybe that has something to do with it...
Opinions on NIK vs Topaz?
I like that their products all have 30 day trials which, if you create new accounts with a new email, you can do a couple of before you decide if you're sure about using it.
