[peternorth2069]

Dear All,
as far as I have been told....should be easy install Color Efex Pro into Lightroom....and find it available on the edit menu of Lightroom......but it is not to me...:twisted:
By default, Color Efex install into Photoshop...but I want install it to Lightroom instead!!!
I tried to change directory during the installation process of Color Efex....but I dont know in which folder I have to install..so I tried into the main directory...and didn't work.
Any help?
Can anyone explain me how to install Color Efex Pro,into Lightroom so that I can find it in the menu'?
Thanx

I had a similar problem when I installed Color Efex. I had to specifically point Lightroom to it:
1: Instal ColorEfex
2: Open Lightroom
3: Go to Edit > Preferences > External Editing tab.
4: In the Additional External Editor section, click choose and navigate to the .exe file for ColorEfex. I believe I left the rest of the defaults as is (TIFF, AdobeRGB, 8bit, Resolution = 24')

ColorEfex then appeared in my Edit In menu.
