Hi,

I need to buy color efex 3 plugin for my capture NX2.

I tried looking at Nik's and Nikon's website for purchasing. I also called the Nik support for the same. I was told that this product is no longer available for sale. They asked me to check their resellers for help. But almost all of the resellers do not carry this product.

Can some one help me with finding a reseller who can sell this software?

I also tried to research any news on Capture NX3. But did not find any information. Do you think waiting for a NX3 version will be of any use? I can wait for one to two months at max.

Thanks

Abhay

Why not get Color efex 4... it is readily available.

You can contact Nik Software directly and they will sell Color Efex 3 to you - along with providing a license for CE 4.

For those using Capture NX2, the ability to use CE 3 is very useful and nicely integrated. I find the user interface is excellent and the ability to selectively apply CE 3 steps to be very useful.

Officially CE 3 is not supported. You need to be running the latest version of Capture NX2 in 64 bit mode for Windows. If that is the case, the CE 3 with the latest upgrade will install into the 64 bit application. Works like a charm.

There are apparently some major design issues with Capture that prevent using CE 4 with Capture until a complete rework of Capture is finished. My understanding is that is not in the cards for 2012.

Hi Abhay,

I also wanted to purchase a license for "CE3 for Capture NX2", but found that retailers -if anything- these days only hold leftovers of the "non-NX2" version.

I contacted (the very helpful!) Nik software customer support who recommended me buying the "non-NX2" version (COMPLETE suite only!); they offered issuing a "CE3 for NX2" product key for me upon receipt of my non-NX2 license and proof of purchase.

So I have just bought a boxed "non-NX2 CE3" from Amazon uk: it is on its way now; so hopefully in a few days I will have my workstation setup and running as I want.
