cole4570 Senior Member  More info Post edited over 7 years ago by cole4570 with reason 'spelling'. | Sep 11, 2016 20:50 | #1 I just got an iMac and had to put lightroom on it (been using a pc laptop). I also put the google nik editing software on the iMac. Now, when I try to edit a photo in lightroom and go to edit in nik lightroom tells me that it was unable to prepare the file. Is there something I am missing to get it to work? Thanks in advance, Cole Be Better today than Yesterday, strive to Be better Tomorrow than today

Does it do the same when you open in PhotoShop 1st and then Nik? Sometimes not taking a photograph can be as problematic as taking one. - Alex Webb

just Nik. It might be because i had them on an external hard drive that there is some kind of permission that I needed to fix when i put them on my external at the beginning..... Be Better today than Yesterday, strive to Be better Tomorrow than today

Sep 11, 2016 22:01 | #6 And I just realized that when I imported into lightroom, I converted all the files to DNG. so now, when I put all the files into my collections on my iMac, the files are all DNG and not RAW? Is that possibly the problem. Be Better today than Yesterday, strive to Be better Tomorrow than today

Sep 13, 2016 14:07 | #9 I figured it out. I had to re format the external drive for an OS operating system. It took a while, but so far it is working well. Be Better today than Yesterday, strive to Be better Tomorrow than today
