Hello everybody, since upgrading from Nik Collection 6.6 to 7.0 my mac repeatedly reboots with forced kernel panics when using Presharper or Silver Efex. I did not try the other plugins yet and i never had any problem running version 6.6. on this machine. After installation i noticed that Lightroom still had the Version 6 plugins available so i uninstalled and ran the Nik CleanupTool with success. After that i reinstalled Version 7 but the crashes are still present. I am using mac a studio with apple silicon under MacOs 14.4.1.
Did anyone here have similar issues and found a solution?
Thank you, Christian
Welcome to the forum @Christian
Today, I re-installed Nik Collection versions 6 ands 7 and used apps standalone without any kernel panics, reboots or other issues. 2019 5k iMac with 8 core Intel though. Sonoma 14.5.
Original → SFX7 from Lr, post-processed → SFX7 straight from DPL7
Good morning @platypus , thank you for your hint! I updated to 14.5. There was also a minor update for lightroom which i applied. Now everything looks promising. No more crashes!
I don’t know why it works now, but it works 
Updates can work (in both directions, so there is always some risk involved) and I’m glad to hear it did the job on your Mac.
