Q: Nik Collection in Photos 2.0?

Downloaded the Nik Collection and on first install wouldn't work as Photos extension. Photos crashed repeatedly. Tried a reinstall and now seems to work in Photos 2.0. Anyone else messing with this and can report on success or failure? Are there particular requirements to get these extensions to work? Thx.

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    How are you using the Nik Collection?

    I am activating the Nik plug-ins using the External Editors extension in Photos, and that seems now to be working better than before on El Capitan.

    That's how I have them installed also. I added them in the "favorites" section and now they appear in the main section with all the other options of External Editors. And they seem to work as expected. I just ran the install Nik app from the download, then went to Photos, External Editors, Favorites, and installed the Nik apps one by one. Is that what you did as well?

     

    PS I am running Sierra 10.12 and Photos 2.0
