Thanks to iiey we now have an easy way to create image processing plugins using other external programs.

On 27/03/2025, iiey released a new version that displays a message on how to deal with the error reported by Zbyma72age in the HDR Efex Pro 2.exe file.

iiey released version 3.0.5 which fixed the HDR Efex Pro 2 issue. You should check in Settings though if the output format is set to jpg (because mine defaulted to tiff - and then it doesn't work).
New page:
https://iiey.github.io/nikgimp/

However, the plug-in does not work as described by Zbyma72age (because for it to work properly you need to open several photos from the HDR Efex Pro 2 menu).

what opens the window:

Can't get the Nik collection for gimp 3 to show in my gimp. I have it in 2.10.38 and need it in 3 before I bite the bullet and change over from 2.10 to 3 completely.
I have the new updated py plugin for gimp 3 and have put it in the Plugin-ins in two folders as the plugin suggests.
Google>Nik Collection>py plugin
I restarted my computer then gimp and it still doesn't show - as greyed out even

If you are very patient, we will handle this problem. :yes
1. Remove your version of nikplugin and install from the attachment (ver.3.1.0).
2. If it is still not registered in the menu, show a screenshot of the plugin location (so that the full path from C:\ to ....nikplugin\nikplugin.py is visible).


Edit:
Probably better - you wrote directly to the plugin author on gimp-forum.net. (I noticed your new post there). I won't interfere anymore (but you've stirred things up a bit).
;)

When i installed it i had to remove the word Google from the directory the py plugin looks for the installed program Nik Collection because mine was installed in c:/Program Files/Nik Collection not
c:/Program Files/Google/Nik Collection.

Maybe check for that first.
