usually when I first click on a Nik filter set I get a hostage popup asking for me to purchase the latest Nik update. Everything is locked out until I click on upgrade or no thanks, I can generally click no thanks and the popup goes away… but increasingly this pops up -and before I can click on anything- it disappears from view and everything stays locked!
I have searched and searched trying to find the hostage popup window but once it is gone from view I can not get it back and everything is frozen and I can not even close the filter and get back to photoshop!
The only thing I can do is force-close photoshop and lose all my work!!!
this SUCKS!
My wife thinks I should just pay the ransom and hope it fixes the problem. I am not too sure that will indeed fix things as Nik is likely to do this again with any new paid updates.
Please only replace the text exactly and do not omit any blank lines already in the file, specifically the one after the second /group.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not the Library folder in your user account.—
I had to take a couple of additional steps as well.
I needed to enable my LIBRARY folder on the MAC HD to be viewable so I could navigate to the .cfg file. My MAC had the LIBRARY folder set to hidden as a default.
I needed to give read/write permission to the containing folder so that I could edit the .cfg file.
I needed to locate the apple textedit app and use that to make the edits to the .cfg file.
