Latest photoshop update (M1 ARM) - lost Nik collection & cannot get it back

I cannot access the Nik plugins with Photoshop 22.3 either, while PS 22.2 works as expected.

According to DPREVIEW, PS 22.3 has a few limitations…

Meanwhile, I’ve tried a few things and can report that I have the Nik plugins back at work.

Here is how I did it on my iMac (Intel, macOS Mojave):

  • Quit out of PS
  • Select the plugin folder located at /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins
  • Press command-I
  • Click on the padlock and enter the necessary credentials
  • Propagate the rights to all objects (see screenshot)
  • Close the Info window and start PS

CAVEAT: Can’t say whether this hack impairs upgradeability of the Nik…
UPDATE: Does not work on MacBook Air M1. Workaround: Open with Rosetta.
