Nik collection and LR

[SsSsSsSsSnake]

allowing Nik into LR on install of Nik,is that the best way to go about it,
LR now allows me to Photo edit in and then choose from list, am I missing anything?
thanks

I tend to use it in this order: Lightroom>Photoshop>Nik or Alien skin>Photoshop>Lightroom tweaks>export from LR.

My computer is very laggy at the moment so I've stopped using all plugins. I don't get on with them as stand alones because I have presets that I like to use e.g. contrast.

That's the way I've always done it - works fine.
I can't recall if it does it by default, but if you save the edited image back into the same folder, it will appear alongside the original in the LR catalog.

I use Nik as a plugin & do the 'edit in' with lightroom adjustments. No PS here.

Toni,just to be clear when you say with lr adjustments you mean you use both ?

Yes - do all the basic stuff in LR first, including CA and lens corrections, sharpening & noise, highlights & shadow, B&W points etc, then in the library module right click the image & select 'edit in' to export the corrected image across to SEfex for conversion & adjustment. I don't think SE would do a good job on an un-adjusted raw file. When I've finished in SE & click on close it takes me back to LR and makes the adustments to the .tif file that LR created to export the image into SE & the adjusted image remains in the LR catalogue.
