HDR Efex 2 causes CC 2014 to crash

I have upgraded CS5 to CC2014 and have HDR Efex 2 running as a plug-in - I can open files, create the HDR merge window, do any processing but on saving something causes CC to crash.  I have looked at the Nik site and they recommend changing the GPU settings - makes no difference CC still crashes.  I did not have this problem with CS5.  Runing macbook Pro (early 2013) and OSX Yosemite

Not an answer as such, but you might like to look at using Photoshop and ACR to process the 32bit HDR file.  Nothing else comes close to this nowadays.

  • How to fix NIK HDR Efex Pro 2 CRASH on launch in Photoshop Mac OSX Mavericks???

    Hi Guys,
    NIK HDR Efex Pro 2 CRASHES every time i launch it in photoshop on mac osx mavericks.
    then shuts down photoshop completely and i lose my work, i have tried to uninstall it and reinstall it but its giving this error now.

    Can someone please help sort this out!!!
    i would really appreciate your help!!

    I notice I failed to list my system...Late-2012 i7 iMac, 3TB Fusion, OS X 10.9.3, 32GB RAM.
    Update.  Google has confirmed the problem and I find it also exists in Photoshop CC 2014.
    After some testing I've discovered a slightly inconvenient work around that works in Photoshop CC 2014, I haven't tested it in Photoshop CC
    A 'simple' work around is to select Preferences->Performance... then uncheck "Use Graphics Processor", click OK to exit preferences,  select Preferences->Performance... and check the "Use Graphics Processor" box again, quit Photoshop, restart Photoshop.  The brush pattern is again shown.

  • Nik HDR Efex Pro Crashes Aperture

    I am using all the Nik plugins with Aperture 3.1, but HDR Efex Pro crashes Aperture about 1/3 of the time on my iMac. Nik says the cause is probably a corrupt file in my user account, and there is a basis for this since I can run HDR Efex Pro on my MacBook Pro or using a new user account without a problem. I think that Nik should also accept some responsibility since this is the only program that crashes Aperture. Does anyone else have a fix for this other than doing a clean install of OS X?
    Thanks -

    Hi I also have this problem with HDR Efex Pro for me it seems that it crashes every 2nd or 3de set of photo's that I am opening. It says that my memory is to full. I've looked at my memory in activity monitor while i am working and it does not seems that my Memory is emptying after every time I've finished a set of HDR series. It is big files and my memory is then full very fast and then system crash. So I don't know why does the files that I've worked with stay full and does not empty itself. HDR Efex Pro is the only Nik software that I find makes my Aperture Crash.

  • HDR Efex Pro2 Crashing Photoshop CS6?

    I have been using Nik HDR Efex Pro2 with Photoshop CS6 successfully for over a year on my aging MAC Pro and OS 10.6.8. Now all of a sudden HDR Efex Pro 2 crashes Photoshop as soon as I launch it.
    Nik suggests my GPU is out of date but how could it be fine one day and out of date the next. To make sure I ran an update on the MAC OS software. (I cannot upgrade beyond 10.6.8 because some of my software won't be compatible.) I also tried their suggested replacing the .cfg code in the Nik HDR preference folder. In addition I did an update on CS6 and uninstalled and reinstalled HDR Efex Pro2.
    During the time it went from working to not working I might have allowed the recommended updates such as iTunes, Airport, etc. Flash also wanted to be updated and I have heard of some different types of conflicts with this from others.
    Can anyone offer any advice?

    You should try installing the very latest version of the HDR Efex Pro 2 software. I installed the latest Nik collection and now it is working in CS6 without crashing upon launch. You might want to contact Nik support and describe what has happened, tell them your system specifics and they can determine which version will work on Windows 7 & CS6.
    I assume some update I did made it so the older version of HDR Efex Pro 2 was no longer compatible.

  • Aperture constantly crashing - esp. with HDR Efex Pro

    I'm running Aperture 3.1.1 and OS 10.6.6. I've deleted the Aperture prefs, rebuilt the photo library, reinstalled Aperture, reinstalled OS 10.6.6, run all of the tests and repairs in Disk Utility and Onyx, and Aperture still crashes at frequent intervals whenever I'm editing - usually when painting something in or out with brushes. By far the most consistent crash is whenever I try to edit a photo with the HDR Efex Pro plug-in. I also get the spinning ball a lot, at fairly random intervals. The funny thing is that the HDR Efex Pro plug-in seems to work fine if I open Aperture in another user account although unfortunately my photo library is in my standard account and I'm reluctant to relocate it just to get a working version of Aperture. I've done everything suggested in Nik's FAQs (eg. deleting duplicate fonts), but nothing works. The Nik people have said I have a corruption in my user file which is beyond the scope of their support. I'm running a 24" 2.8GHz iMac with 4GB of RAM and about 20GB of free hard disk space. Aperture hasn't encountered many problems before recently, so my setup seems to have enough power. I have about 15,000 photos in the library (after importing my iPhoto library recently - by reference only) and the Aperture library is about 140Gb in size. If anyone has any suggestions for a fix, I'd be very grateful as I've run out of ideas. Thanks

    Hi, I am no expert in Aperture 3 However just like you I had many issues and crashes of A3. My system is almost identical to yours and my A3 problems were the same as you. Like you, I tried all the fixes but still no luck. Yesterday, I went into my A3 Pref's / Previews & I changed the setting for "share with ilife and iwork" to never.
    I haven't had a problem since but only time will tell if this is a total fix.
    Good luck,

  • HDR Efex Pro2 Problems - crashes regularly in LR4.4

    I have been using HDR Efex Pro2 for a year as a preset in Lightroom 4 with no problem.  Now it crashes all the time.  Could this be because I upgraded Lightroom to 4.4?  Has anyone had this problem or know how I can fix it.  Of course NIK won't call me back.  And Adobe is pointing figures at NIK.

    I'm not sure yet - I send some questions to Adobe and to NikSoftware support.
    I'm still under investigation but I think it is neither LR nor NikSoftware problem. It is just different configuration.
    Now,
    you've upgraded drivers - great.
    But don't change cfg file - it was the NikSoftware suggestion - not mine. Only drivers update. My fault - I've changed this point in a solution.
    Don't worry - just remove this content you've added from cfg file.
    Next step:
    Have you found what version of OpenGL is running in your system (points 3 and 4 in the solution).
    My problem was connected directly with OpenGL version.
    Heckuvaguy1954, Heirloom Bob - can you send me your HDR Efex Pro 2 log file? Maybe I will find some clues there.
    Log file is in the same folder where the config file is.

  • Photoshop CC + HDR Efex Pro 2 = crash

    but if I order HDR Efex 2 Pro out of CS6 - anything works.
    Nik-Software don't really know an solution, so anybody here has an Idea?
    Thank you

    With previous versions of PS, I was using HDR Efex Pro 2 as a filter on a smart object ... with 32-bit files.
    With CC, it works on 16-bit and 8-bit files as before.
    It only crashes with 32-bit files now.
    If you have a 32-bit file in CC, all the items in the layer menu are grayed, unselectable.
    Is it normal?
    I uninstalled CS6, so I can't compare ...
    But, I think that there is a problem in CC for 32-bit files.

  • Is there a solution for HDR Efex Pro2 Crashing?

    Using Light Roon 5.2 trying to export with a preset to HDR Efex Pro 2 I get the captioned error message.  I didn't have this problem under 5.0.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    [email protected]

    I'm anxiously awaiting some answers here.  I have the same problem.  I've even uninstalled 5.2 back to 5 and it still doesn't work.  Uninstalled it all and reinstalled everything (minus 5.2).  HDREfex version 1 works fine still, but I keep getting a "failure to launch external application error" when trying to export to HDRefex2.  Tried all the patches mentioned for the similar error discussed last year for LR4 and HDRefex2 with no luck.

  • Adobe Muse CC 2014 keeps crashing on launch

    My version of Adobe Muse CC 2014 keeps crashing on launch. I have tried to reinstall it a few times but this keeps happening.
    When I open a project, it works untill I close down the project, I get the following message:
    Can someone please help me with this issue? I've searched for a solution on the forums and on the internet, but I didn't find a useful solution.

    Very strange. Let's rename the Recovery folder and see if that avoids this error. The "Recovery" folder is in:
    Mac: "~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.1/Local Store" (copy and paste into the Go > Go To Folder dialog in the Finder)
    Windows: "%appdata%/com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.1/Local Store" (copy and paste into a file explorer window)
    In both cases above, include everything between the quotes (including the tilde ~ on the Mac and the percent symbols % on Windows) in the copy/paste, but not the quotes themselves.
    Rename the Recovery folder and relaunch Muse. Does that avoid the error? If so, I'd be grateful if you'd send us the renamed Recovery folder at muse-support along with a link to this thread for context.
    If not, let's go up two levels in the folder structure and rename the entire "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.1" folder. Doing that will cause Muse to generate a new one from scratch. Does that avoid the error? If so, I'd like to get a copy of the renamed folder.
    If not, we'll have to explore some other options.

  • Ps CC plug-in: Nik/Google HDR Efex Pro 2 - Deadly Problem

    I know this is the Photoshop forum, but Google has no user forum for the Nik Software Photoshop-plug-in products Google recently acquired.
    Nik's HDR Efex Pro 2 is a great piece of software, but as of today, it crashes on load, then brings Photoshop CC (v. 14.1.1 x64 on Mac OS X 10.8.4) to its knees as well.  :-(
    I visited the Nik support page, and did everything it suggested, including disabling any GPU processing, via altering the HDR Efex Pro 2 .cgf file. - No joy.
    I am basically stuck with a GREAT little $100 piece of software that no longer works. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    SOLVED.
    I sent a support email to Nik Software/Google, and they sent me a link to the new "Nik Collection" which I downloaded and am now using for FREE (no additional charge over what I paid Nik a few months ago) -- this includes the Photoshop plugin, HDR Efex Pro 2, that stopped working. All works perfectly now. Thanks, Google.

  • NIK HDR Efex Pro 2 anomaly with Photoshop CC

    Every time I use HDR Efex Pro 2 to create a HDR when I return to Photoshop CC the preview in brush size/hardness is missing.
    To recreate the error, execute Photoshop CC, open 5 files to create a HDR.  Select one of the files and while pressing Control and Option click and drag on the image.  Notice that the brush outline also displays a pattern, default is red, showing the brush area.
    Execute HDR Efex from Photoshop CC, create the HDR, select vignette from the Landscape set of presets.  Return to Photoshop CC. Select any brush and while pressing Control and Option click and drag on the image.  Notice that the brush outline shows but the brush pattern is no longer presented.
    The only way I've found to restore the pattern is to either delete the Photoshop CC presets or copy a good preset file over the faulty one.
    Anyone have an idea on how to fix this problem without copying a file?  I've already reported this to Google, but haven't received an answer from them yet.
