Nik Software and Mac OS X 10.7 Compatibility

Apple is expected to release the latest version of Mac OS X, version 10.7 Lion, sometime this month. We've been working with developer release versions and want to notify you that we've found an issue installing some of our plug-ins into Photoshop CS5 after you've updated to Lion. If you have already installed your Nik Software plug-ins into Photoshop CS5 prior to updating to Lion, the plug-ins will continue to work without issue. There are also no issues installing our plug-ins into Lightroom or Aperture on a Mac running OS 10.7 Lion and no issues installing HDR Efex Pro into any host application. However, the current installers for Dfine 2.0, Viveza 2, Color Efex Pro 3.0, Silver Efex Pro 2, and Sharpener Pro 3.0 are not able to install into Photoshop CS5 on a Mac running OS 10.7 Lion. This issue will affect both new and re-installations of these plug-ins. Our engineers have already begun working on a fix for the installers and we intend to start releasing these free updates this month. Each update will be released in succession, starting with Silver Efex Pro 2 and we will notify registered owners via email. If you do find yourself needing assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our support team. Thank you for your continued support! The Nik Team

X-Rite Software Compatibility for Mac OSX 10.7 Lion

 Are You Ready for Mac OS X Lion?
Check Out the X-Rite Software Compatibility Guide
Apple recently announced that the new Mac OSX 10.7 Lion will no longer support software that relies on Rosetta. This directly affects X-Rite's retired i1Match, ProfileMaker and MonacoPROFILER applications.
While we recognize there may be some workarounds for you like creating a dual-boot Mac, this is not ideal for most users that want to upgrade to Lion. Therefore, X-Rite is providing its customers with upgrade paths so you can continue using X-Rite imaging solutions on Lion.
