I use Silver Efex quite often. I just noticed that when I edit a photo, and save it, then return to LR to either continue editing, or catalog it, I get some very weird, pixelated artefacting. Has anyone ever seen this before from any of the Nik plugins?

Re: Silver Efex Querry
Nope, that's a new one on me, Andrew. Sorry I can't be of any help.
That being said, I tend not to go back in to edit further once I've done my work on the image. Does SEP2 work as a Smart Object in Lightroom? It doesn't in Elements, but I know it does in the latest Photoshop.

Only in CS6 to my knowledge Donald and I use both.

Re: Silver Efex Querry
Hmmm. Thanks for the input, but I'm getting it even if I just select a preset, and then save it back into LR.
I just had a thought though, I wonder if my two issues are related? See the thread "Ever Seen This?"......
Darnit, I hate when computers don't do what they're supposed to do. Now I have to hire an IT department.
And, sorry for not spelling 'query' properly. Maybe someone could fix that for me?!!?

Re: Silver Efex Querry
Andrew I don't use LR but I haven't had that problem with CS6. I wonder if you have a problem with your graphics card, given the two separate problems you are having ?

Data corruption would have me worried about the hard drive reaching the end of its life.

Re: Silver Efex Querry
Just to make you panic a bit more, Andrew, this is currently happening to one of my Seagate backup RAID drives. Fortunately, the cloud backup is unaffected, and one of the drives is still good. I have a pair of 1TB Western Digital Reds in the mail for the replacement array. $90 each - small price to pay for another couple years of stability. Photography's rough on hard drives, so I've stopped counting on mine to last beyond their warranties. Originally Posted by GrumpyDiver
