Would it not have been better to buy the complete collection:

$299.95 =£191.704 GBP
I know, just chatting about doing this....
I love all the Nik filters and use them a lot I love dfine for noise reduction and the effects in viveza are great and can always be backed off a bit.
This one

is the midnight filter but backed off a little bit and some of the effect erased off the model herself.
So rather than painting ON an effect I sometimes use the fill followed by erasing
Based on what I've been reading I went back to the Nik Software website and re-downloaded the trial for CS4. Once downloaded I input my original product-key from last May - and it worked a treat. So now I can edit my images in CS4 without the hassle of going into LR2 etc (which I found very slow tbh).
It will not work on Photoshop 64bit only 32 so not sure about Lightroom. Worth checking.
That's true, it won't work in win 64bit only on 32bit, but there is a workaround.
When you install CS4 on a 64bit machine, it also installs a 32 bit version (in the x86 folder ...."C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4)
Which you can run in 32 bit mode, and install the nik plug-ins.
So if I ever want to use the plug-ins, I'll shut down my normal 64bit CS4 and open the 32bit CS4 to use.
How do I enable 64-bit Darren?
Every time I right click on the photo and click 'edit with plug-in' it has (32-bit) and needs to restart Aperture in to x86 mode.
Ah, so I need to reboot the Mac into the 64-bit kernel?
Model Identifier says Macbook pro 5.2, so it can boot 64-bit.
I was hoping I could force the plug in to run 64-bit mode under the regular kernel.
