CS5 incredibly slow; Noise Ninja unrecognized by program

Cannot get CS5 to recognize NoiseNinja. Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Latest everything. Reparied permissions, reinstalled Photoshop, reinstalled NoiseNinja, nada.
It's also taking CS5 up to 3 minutes to open and close tiff files around 500 MB in size. Something is rotten, I can't figure it out, and HELP! PLEASE!

Adobe- do you keep a list of CS5 compatible filters?
found this:
This may help Mac users.
Noise Ninja is compatible with Photoshop CS5.
On Windows computers, the Noise Ninja plug-in is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Photoshop, including CS5.
However, on Mac computers, the plug-in currently works only with 32-bit versions of Photoshop. We are working hard on a 64-bit Mac solution, but we haven't set a release date yet. We hope to make more information available soon.
To use Noise Ninja in CS5 on the Mac, you should select to run CS5 in 32 bit mode. To do this, bring up Finder and choose "More info..." on Adobe Photoshop CS5.app. Then check the "Open in 32 Bit Mode" option. Then all of your 32 bit plug-ins will work with it.
Kind regards,
Bill

this filter is pure magic!

PS CS5 incredibly slow

I'm running CS5 on an iMac 27" (Intel Core i5 2.66 GHz, 8GB RAM, 7200RPM drive) and it is incredibly slow, especially when bringing in objects from Illustrator (smart objects) and resizing them. I'm working on a docuement that is only 50MB in size and it's crawling. I end up having to rasterize the object just so I can scale it which kind of defeats the purpose.
One thing I noticed is that PS isn't utilizing all the cores. For that matter, neither is Illustrator. I don't have any issues with CS4 so I'm wondering what's up with CS5 or if it's some kind of compatibility thing with 10.6.4 and CS5. Whatever it is, it's annoying.

Ok, then the remaining problems we know about are related to OS bugs with fonts.
The OS can sometimes corrupt it's font cache, and give bad info for fonts, which causes a number of slowdown issues (and crashes).
Validating fonts in FontBook is the first step.
Then flushing the OS font cache (see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/843/cpsid_84363.html ).

CS5 incredibly slow to open/save files

I've been using CS5 for a while now, but only recently has it started showing this issue.
Basically, Photoshop is taking about five seconds only to show the save/open file dialogs, no matter what resolution/kind of file/etc.
This is critical to me, since I use the save dialog so frequently this basically slows my productivity by 50%.
I've allowed Photoshop to take up to 1GB ram, but I don't think that's the problem, since I've ran it with the Task Manager open and it's not showing considerable RAM/CPU uses when I ask PS to open/save.
I believe this might be related to recent patches on the software, I'm thinking of reinstalling it on a previous version.

Likewise a network share that's not currently online (e.g., a mapped drive or a desktop shortcut pointing to a server not presently there) can cause major Windows stalls.

Media Encoder CS5 Incredibly Slow

I cannot believe how long it is taking to encode a 3 minute video using the media encoder in CS5. I am running a Pentium Dual Core processor with 8mb of RAM and it is taking close to an HOUR to encode this 3 minute vid to a F4V 1920 x 1080
I've shut down as many processes as I can - but this is ridiculous.
Am I missing something that can help speed up this process so that my news conference interviews get posted the same day that they take place????

Hope you are not planning on using a 1920x1080 video on the Internet...
What is the encoding video bitrate? If you don't know or can't answer that, then you sure as heck should not be encoding a 1920x1080 video.
What is the original file format and video dimensions?
And you do realize that many, if not most viewers will not have updated their Flash Web browser pluggin so they can actually view the .f4v video... right??
For review:
Video bit rate
One of the principle of goal setting is to "Begin with the end in mind". In this case it'll be very hard to give good recommendations because the end is not defined. So I'll just make a few assumptions and you can correct me as needed.
First, I'll assume that since you are converting to Flash, you want to deliver this video over the Internet. If that's true, then we'll have to make some assumptions on the Internet connection download speeds of your potential viewers. Let's just say that most have at least a 1.5Mb connection or faster.
OK, that would mean that a video bitrate of half that should usually provide a video download that is not interupped by buffering (most of the time anyway). So assuming a video bitrate of 750kbps, what would the optimum display dimensions be?
Before we decide, here's a little info about bitrate. For highest quality playback, the video bitrate is tied directly to the display dimensions. That is, the larger the display, the more incoming data is required to properly display the video. Think of bitrate in terms of a can of paint. If you have 1 quart of paint, you might be able to do a very nice job on a 32 X 24 foot area. But if you try to stretch that same amount of paint out over a 64 X 48 foot area, the coverage will not be nearly as good and you get poor results.
In the same way, a video displayed at 640 X 480 pixels will require 4 times the bitrate as a video displayed at 320 X 240 pixels to produce the same quality. So for example a video with a bitrate of 100kbps, displayed at 160 X 120 will produce the same quality results as a video with a bitrate of 1600kbps if displayed at 640 X 480.
So to boil it all down, video bitrates of 750kbps, even up to 1000kbps can usually get delivered of the Internet on most high speed connections. Higher bit rates may work for really fast connections but will cause problems for viewers with slower connections. Video display size has a direct bearing on the final quality. In the 750 to 1000kbps range, display size should be kept around 450 or 500 width max (and whatever height the aspect ratio calls for). Yes it can be displayed larger, but the quality will suffer.
Sound like your audio settings are fine, especially for Internet delivery.
As for framerate, maintain the original raw video framerate for best results. So if the video was shot at 24fps, leave it.
As for video converters, do you have the Flash 8 Video Converter? It works just fine for video to be delivered over the Internet. Remember, you are taking a Cadillac version of video (h.264 HD) and stuffing it into a Chevy body to get it to work over the Internet.

Noise Ninja Causing CS6 to Crash

I have read a previous post regarding this issue, but it did not apply to my problem, so here goes.
Attempting to run the Noise Ninja plug-in causes Photoshop to crash.
I have tried to run Noise Ninja on several 16-bit CR2 as Smart Object files (opened from ACR) and a 16-bit TIFF as Smart Object file (opened from Photoshop) and each time after the 'Profiling Image' step completes and the Noise Ninja dialog box opens, Photoshop crashes. I have tried using both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the plug-in (in there respective versions of Photoshop) and the same thing happens.
The Plug-ins have been installed properly using the manufacturer's installer.
I have tried rebooting my computer.
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Noise Ninja.
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling CS6.
I haven't encountered any other issues.
Noise Ninja still works fine in CS5.

The root cause of this issue has been traced to an apparent bug in the public beta version of CS6. Its been reported to Adobe and they are looking at it.    There were no issues with CS6 m.122 and this problem started with the public beta release (m.415).     Noise Ninja should not be crashing Photoshop because of this problem however. It should merely report an error processing the image.    PictureCode will release an update very soon. The update will fix the crash of CS6 and I expect it to have a workaround for the CS6 problem as well.

I have uninstalled everything on my laptop, removed all my files to my external device and my laptop is still incredibly slow when opening any of the adobe applications, can anyone help please?

I have downloaded the adobe student suite and whenever I open any of the adobe applications my laptop is incredibly slow, I cannot use any other application at the same time and often have to force quit. I have taken all my files off my laptop and added to my external hardrive. Can anyone help please?

What about other non-Adobe programs on the machine - do they also run slowly?
What are your system specifications? How do they match up to the system requirements for the software?

17" i7 MacBook Pro incredibly slow

My i7 macbook Pro has become incredibly slow. Boot time is well over 3 minutes, bringing up a program (such as Microsoft Word or Pages) takes upto 2 additional minutes. When I look at the activity monitor, it does not appear that the machine is CPU bound--- CPU sits there at about 10-20% utilization at the most. I have a 7200 RPM drive, but it almost looks like it takes a long time to load. I have tried many programs: Disk optimization, DIsk Warrior, Clean my Mac, Mac Keeper.... so I have dedragmented my disk, cleaned all the caches, got rid of temp files, and done basically everything I can do. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong? I do not have many programs that I run regularly;; Mainly Safair, Chrome, Microsoft Office, iWork, and Mail. The vintage of the machine is June 2010. MacKeeper is saying my machine is at optimized. I have also removed virtualy all the programs that I had at startup including Growl, Flip4Mac. I have also cleaned my desktop.
Ideas will be appreciated. I am now spending more time on my MacBook Air which is blazingly fast, but I am constrained by the small hard drive and the small screen.
Thanks,
Paul

Says it all right there. Uninstall this P.O.S. software if you can, they don't provide a method neither.
The Mac based Internet wants to crucify these jerks. It's as bad as MacDefender.
Download the free Easy Find here, it allows more deeper of a search than Spotlight, even invisible files. Seek and destroy MacKeeper.
http://www.devon-technologies.com/download/index.html
When you first boot your machine and you have no programs open, look for a process that consuming a lot of CPU, it's likely your culprit, you can force quit it.
Look at your System Preferences > Accounts > log-in items for anything your not using and click the "-" to stop it being a log in item.
OnyX will deep system clean a Mac, do ALL the cleaning and maintenance tasks and reboot, it will do it without installing or running anything afterwards, unlike those other programs.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
What I suspect is your caches are thrown off by the defrag. Do the OnyX and remove MacKeeper, I think you'll be a happy camper after that.
When you reboot, there should be hardly anything running, your CPU usage should nearly zero.
If all this fails, your looking at backing up your data. Hold c and booting off the installer disk that comes with your computer and using Disk Utility to Erase, format HFS+ Journaled and reinstalling OS X. Programs from fresh sources and files from backup.
Next time Carbon Copy Cloner your boot drive to a external drive, it's hold option bootable and you can recover/repair, run the computer off the clone or reverse clone if need be.

Noise Ninja Crashes Photoshop CS6

I copied the Noise Ninja Plug In from CS5.1 to CS6 but when I try to use it, CS6 crashes.
Any suggestions/ideas.

Try reinstalling as Pierre suggests. If you manually just pulled the plug-in and dumped it in the plug-ins folder, you may have missed a resource file or messed with the Plug-in DRM.
Also, please submit all crash reports with your information and some details if you haven't already:

My computer is INCREDIBLY slow after Yosemite install

I recently installed the latest operating system Yosemite for my Apple Mac Pro and ever since it has been installed, my computer has been INCREDIBLY slow! Everything from starting up to applications opening to the **** internet! I'm ready to punch my fist into my **** monitor, even though I know it's not my monitor's fault. lol. Macworld has published an article (http://www.macworld.com/article/2837811/bugs-and-fixes-solving-a-yosemite-post-i nstall-disaster.html) about this along with the problem they think is causing it but I checked and the file in question doesn't exist on my computer. I don't want to go through the last step that is mentioned which involves downloading Yosemite onto an external hard drive and then installing from there. That step would also involve manually searching for files that might be causing the issue.
So, has anyone else experienced their computers running REAL slow after the update and did you figure out a simple solution?

How do I switch Noise Ninja from Elements 8 to my newly downloaded Elements 11?

I previously used Elements 8 with the Noise Ninja plug in. Both are still installed on my PC. I recently downloaded Elements 11. Can I move the Noise Ninja plug in over to Elements 11 and HOW?
Thanks for any advice.
Grant

Copy your Ninja Plugin folder to Elemens 11 Plug-in folder .
The location of Plugin folder in Elements 11 is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins
As- If I have to copy my Nik software For Elements 11 from Elements 8
Copy the Nik folder from-
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8\Plug-Ins\Nik Software
and Paste it under
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins\

Incredibly slow internet (Connected through airport)

Hey there!
I just got myself a new Macbook around 2 months ago and so far I'm very happy with it. I haven't had any problems except for one.
I'm connected to the internet wireless through Airport and since about a week ago loading web pages is going incredibly slow, whether I use Safari or Firefox. I didn't have this problem before and I didn't change any internet settings. Nothing else changed eigher. I'm still connected to the same network and I didn't install any dodgy programs on my network. Downloading or loading videos doesn't seem to be a problem though. When downloading from a fast server like mac or windows (I know I shouldn't but hey, all my friends use msn ;)) I can easily make the 300 kb/sec. Also waching video's on apple.com/trailers isn't a problem. It's only the loading of web pages or sending e-mails. It sometimes takes up to half a minute to even load google.com. I'm not sure but it might have started after a software update. not at all sure though! Can anybody help me please! Thanks!

Hi Jop, and Welcome to the discussions!
Two things to try first...
Fix Permissions using the Disk Utility, then reboot. or better yet, get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Try putting these in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
Might be better ones for you over there, but worth a try.

Incredibly slow internet, Connection drops.

Well.. Posting here is pretty much a last resort..
Background on what has happened:
What i class as "acceptable" connection speeds for my phone line 4 - 6 mb.. This is the speeds i would achieve before i ran into any problems. 4mb through the day.. Sometimes ( not very often) 6mb early hours in the morning.
Mid January 2014 - Broadband starts going incredibly slow.
I'm talking 0.1mb connection speeds.
So, i contact BT over the phone... Do all the tests and checks they tell you to do, problem persists, so i get elevated to a level 2 adviser. I get a call back from adviser, he does some magic with the exchange and my broadband speeds up.
Speed achieved 2.5mb
not quite the speed i used to achieve but certainly bare-able...
February / March
Exactly same as above, Internet slows down to a crawl, i contact BT, get elevated and it gets "fixed"
Speed still sitting at around 2.5mb.
May
Parents inform me that the Internet is slow again and constantly disconnecting
(They aren't very tech savy hence why i have been dealing with the problems)
I start monitoring the connection allot closer, and notice that the connection is dropping quite allot in the evening.. I work evenings hence why i have never noticed this fact.
After doing some research and diagnostics i notice the phone line is "Noisy". So i start monitoring this too. I find that this isn't always the case.. Some times its quiet other times you can bairly hear people on the phone for the noise (imagine someone crunching up a bag of crisps next to your ear, that's what its like)
I Contact BT, quite frustrated that iv had the same problem 3 times now.. Tell them about the noise on the line, and an engineer is sent out.
Engineer does all his tests in the house, "No problems" (The line was conveniently quiet while he was doing tests).. Just before he leaves i do a line test, and it perks up with some static, i let him listen.. He does his tests all over again, "no faults on the line"
The Engineer then informs me, that in mid January when some work on a sewage pipe was being done right next to my telephone exchange, a line was cut.. I somehow dint think, for one second this is a co-incidence. From all my own tests and diagnostics this was the only explanation i had for the problems.
He leaves, i contact BT again.. Get elevated to a level 2 adviser AGAIN.. he "fixes" it..
Speed goes back up to 2.5mb
About a week later this Problem happens AGAIN.. So i contact BT - And while I'm on the phone, the line is incredibly noisy and i say to the person on the other end that it is, so i get thrown across to a different department, who insist on sending an engineer out.
Engineer comes out, does all the same tests that the first engineer did, line is quiet while he is here, i explain EVERYTHING to him.. He doesn't really have much of an explanation, tells me that the damaged wire from the sewage work was "fixed" And that 2mb is a good speed for how far i am from my exchange (maybe so, its still not the 4 - 6 i used to get though)....He decides to shimmy up the telegraph pole outside my house fiddles around up there and a couple of other things...
After calling BT again, and getting elevated to a level 2 adviser (again) my Internet is "fixed"
Speed Fluctuating between 2.5 and 3mb now.
And here we are now.......Guess what? Internet is slow again...
Iv noticed someone with a similar problem in another post, so.. Before you ask:
Yes iv done all the tests, taken all phones out, tried a different micro filter, disconnected all other devices.
My main socket doesn't have a test socket in it, so don't ask me to plug into it.

I would try this belwire fix, but i have had broadband through this socket for about 8 years now, with no problems what so ever..
So im automaticaly rulling out any sources of internal interference, as this would of already been a factor, and i wouldn't notice a sudden drop in speed..

Havn't noticed any Noise on the telephone, Proboly explains why my connection has stayed up for 23 hours now.
I will contact BT, have them send an engineer out, i might be lucky this time, and have a noisy line while he is here.. Seems to me thats what im going to have to keep doing

Unfortunately Lee_Jay that is at best a hack job and not even close to what
Adobe said they would do. They need to get off the pot with this and get it
done. Otherwise they need to be willing to add a considerable number of
features to LR including Noise Ninja like noise reduction, book printing,
better slideshow options, better web gallery options and so on.
I can understand if Adobe doesn't want to do it, but they do need to allow
third parties to do it. Without this Lightroom is only 1/4 the program it
could be. Photoshop without the plug-in support wouldn't be as popular as it
is without it.
You may not agree and that is fine, however the customer is always right and
many of this need and demand this.

Incredibly Slow broadband Speed

Hi, I'm servering from a Incredibly Slow broadband Speed and can't nail the reason why.
The broadband for my street was down for a whole weekend although box said connection was ok - helpline was no help - just said try again tomorrow. Now we have internet but the speed is very very slow - speed test results are :
Download = 53 kps
acceptable range = 100-250 kps
DSL Connection Rate 486 Kps (Down-Stream), 712 kps(Up-Stream)
IP Profile for line = 135 kps
Upload = 541 Kps
Addition Hub Info:
Noise Margin (Down/Up) = 8.5 dB / 6.7 dB
Line Attenuation (Down/Up) = 63.8 dB / 35.8 dB
Output power (Down/Up) = 1.3 dBm / 1.1dBm
Prior to loss of service, my speeds although weren't great were about 1.2 Mps
I've tried all the suggestions like changing channels, filters etc and nothings change in my house since the degrading of service.
Can someone please help !
Best regards

I don't know if this will help, but I do notice that your output power is only 1.3dBm / 1.1dBm. can I ask you to look on the back of your home Hub and check to see if it is a Type A or Type B, this will be on the label in the bottom right corner. If it is a type B Hub then ring and ask for a Type A Hub as I have found that I get a better output power reading of around 16.0dBm. When I was sent out a relacement Hub when mine went wrong they sent out a Type B and my speed went very slow, so I put the original Type A Hub back on to see if it made a differance and my speed increased and my IP Profile went up. So if this is the case, ring up tech support and don't ask tell them that you wont a Type A replacement Hub. All the best in your efforts and don't forget that the more you insist the more you can achieve.

Incredibly slow.

Hi. I'm new-ish to the Mac world. I've had my Mac for a couple of months and have had no complaints at all. I have the 20" iMac, the one before the 24" was released.
However, lately, my Mac is incredibly slow. Applications quit or stall out for no particular reason, it takes a millenium for programs to start up, and half the time when I try to restart, I have to click the restart option 3-4 times to get it to actually restart.
Is there any particular reason for this, and how do I fix it. I dont have that many files on my computer so formatting wouldn't be that much of a problem at all. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

SubcutaneousPhat & ipod4meok, the very first thing you should do is open process viewer located in appications/utilities/Activity monitor. In Activity monitor click where it says %CPU and it will list the applications that are using all of your CPU. Sometimes just quitting an application and trashing that applications preferences located in your user account ~/library/preferences will fix you problem. Still not working properly then open disk utility located in applications/utilities/disk utility and then reset permissions. After you are done with that and the Disk utility is still open click the verify disk button. It won't fix your hard drive but it will say if something is wrong. Mac still not working properly, then add another user in the System Preference pane which can be accessed in the drop down menu from the Apple in the top left corner. Login as the new user and if your Mac is quick again then it is a problem in your account only however if it is still slow then you have a system wide problem, possibly a corrupt file. If after you add a new user and it is still slow then my suggestion rather than spending hours troubleshooting is to do an archive and install off your original install disk. You can drag the mail folder and other important files over to the new system file from the old and have fresh start. You will have to run software update more than once but you should be good as new. Someone else in this thread was talking about memory well when I first bought my iMac it came with the stock 512mb and ran very quick. I had already ordered another 512mb from OWC but the mail(post office) was running slow. I only had problems with one application Adobe Photoshop which is still just as slow as it was with 512mb vs. 1 gig. Bottom line is Adobe needs to update their software I don't need to update my Mac so take all the memory talk with a grain of salt. Still having problems after this post back here and their are a few other tests to run.
