[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 464170, member: 9240"] I've got Topaz working on CC 2015. I suspect Nik will work once I get an updated install script. After a very "helpful" chat with Adobe I have been informed that it's not their fault if a plugin manufacturer doesn't issue a new install script for older software to work with their "completely new product". The thing that sold me on CC is that we would get continuous updates in, what seemed to me at least, a rather seamless way. Instead what we're getting is a completely new piece of software once a year. If all you use is Photoshop my response to that is, "Yay!!" But when you rely on plugins, this means you need to either keep up do date with those (thank you, Nik, for a pay once and only once model), or know that at some point you're going to have to stop using it, or jump through hoops in your processing to make it happen. As I told the rep at Adobe, that's a completely arrogant way of doing business. Even if CC 2015 is a [I]completely new product[/I], I can't imagine the way in which it handshakes with plugins has changed - it's just a two-way file transfer, for god's sake. Why they cannot release a utility (if they can't build it into the install script) that will transfer your plugins is a question I want answered. Even if you have to register them with the CC so they have your product and S/N information. To have to reinstall everything, everytime is ludicrous, particularly when you can't necessarily do that.
