Bowens has been relaunched and all the kit is new stock.

It's caused by the software update. I found this on the Adobe community https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2406666 when it happened to me. Adjust the settings on Nik as shown below and open a duplicate layer BEFORE working with Nik. It's cumbersome but it works.

Always been fond of this "Lone Aussie" shot.. Day 5-64317 by Bobby Gavin, on Flickr
