How To Load The Free Nik Collection On A Mac With Recent OS

Due to a bug in the installer, the free version of the Nik collection will not install on recent versions of the Mac OS. Here's a work around:

1. Download the free version here: https://archive.org/details/nikcollection-full-1.2.11 or any number of other sites. Click MacOS Disk Image to download.

2. Click the downloaded DMG file, and RIGHT CLICK the arrow and then click SHOW PACKAGE CONTENTS.

3. At this point you may want to decide where to store all the apps

   4. Expand the RESOURCES folder and right click AnalogEfexPro2.tar.gz then choose Open With Archive Utility. This will create a Folder in DOWNLOADS called AnalogEfexPro2.

5. The remainder of the installation consists of repeating step 5 for all the 'tar' files you want to save.

 6. The above photo shows everything I saved. You may want to keep less or more and if you find problems or better solutions, please comment.

  Thanks Duncan. You should be able to copy each of those images from your PDF and paste them into place above.

  Thank you,

   I've downloaded DMG file and opened as suggested.

  Color efex pro4 works, but it does not seem to be free. A popup window offers 15 days demo, and the BUY option

  I did a initial quick and dirty test of Silver Efex when I was loading all of these. If you click the DEMO option you can load a file, make changes, save the file and exit. The saved file will not have a History when re-opened - I knew this would happen and for got to mention it in the text here. There is another issue, the next time you try to use any app and click DEMO the 'Beach Ball' will appear and you have to 'force quit'. After a force quit the apps seem to reload again. So the sequence becomes: Load - Click Demo - Work - Save - Exit - Load Again - Click Demo - Force Quit - Repeat. When all is said and done this works with difficulty, but if DXO would sell individual apps for a reasonable price or the entire bundle for $50 I would probably spend the money.
