Hi,
I’m on Windows 11, Ps 25.1.0, and latest Nik Collection. I have not updated anything, with Ps remaining the same version for the last few days or so. I was using Nik Collection as normal yesterday, and now today I am getting the ‘The Command Nik 6 *** is not currently available’ after trying to select a Nik from the palette. As soon as I click OK, the palette disappears. It reappears when I exit Ps.
I have run the cleanup tool and reinstalled the Nik collection. I’ve rebooted but this has changed nothing, the problem persists. What do I do next?
