Noise Ninja crashes my PS CS6 (64 bit PC)

Noise Ninja crashes my PS CS6. What'e even worse is PS CS6 can NOT be restarted without restarting the computer first! As the noise filter in PS CS6 works really poorly, does anybody have a suggestion for software that works? I use the 64 bit version. No other problems - so far.

Way faster than NoiseNinja? What is way faster than 1 second? In any case, noise reduction in PS CS6 still sucks - BUT, in ACR it works VERY well. The secret is to KEEP your raw files.
Steve I was talking about ACR, which is why it is faster, because it saves an operation.  It is also a while since I used Noise Ninja because I have Topaz deNoise as part of their Bundle package, and while it is OK, it takes several seconds to do it's thing.
But if I was batching a large job, I would use Bridge and ACR, and sync as many images as I could reasonably get away with for the sake of speed.  I just can't get on with Lightroom.
I can't imagine why anyone would delete their RAW files after processing them.  Several people, including Noel IIRC, have spoken about going back to old RAW files with ACR7, and getting noticably more out of them.
I know HDDs are still at a premium, but they are still afordable.  I have 10Tb over 11 drives. That includes four WD USB3 My Book externals, but they are very nearly as fast as my (non raid) internals, and perfectly usable.

  • 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:

  • Several daily crashes in Illustrator CS6 64-Bit

    Hello,
    After a long hard struggle with CS6 32-bit, Windows XP and 4 GB RAM, we decided to do our designers a favor and install Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit, 16 GB RAM and a new SSD for them, in order to speed up their daily work. Besides that, the PC is equipped with an i7-2600k and some HP-motherboard (it's an HP Elite 8200 with the beforementioned upgrades).
    The good news is, that it has increased the speed greatly.
    The bad news is, that Illustrator (the 64-bit version) has a tendency to crash several times each day. I havent' been able to find a pattern, unfortunately, but here's log-files from event viewer:
    Faulting application Illustrator.exe, version 16.0.0.682, faulting module 4f6e45b7, version MSVCR100.dll, fault address 0x10.0.40219.325
    Faulting application Illustrator.exe, version 16.0.0.682, faulting module 4f6e45b7, version dvaui.dll, fault address 0x6.0.0.0.
    I've seen a few threads regarding the first crash, which suggested, that we should run Illustrator with administrative priveleges. So we did that (setting the permissions in the shortcut), but with no luck. I have absolutely no idea what dvaui.dll is, though.
    The user is a local administrator, which should rule out any permission-issues in my eyes.
    Any ideas on how to proceed?
    Best regards,
    Thomas   

    We are having the same issue and unable to find a common pattern. We reformatted the PC and reinstalled Illustrator.
    Logged in as a local administrator and domain administrator, same issue.
    Cleared Settings & Preferences, same issue.
    Turned off Preferences sync, same issue.
    Turned off AVG, same issue.
    Unable to find a common pattern at all.

  • Use Noise Ninja in Aperture or Photoshop?

    If I am going to edit an image in Photoshop (eg cloning some clutter out) and want to reduce noise, is it better to do this in Aperture with Noise Ninja and then edit with Photoshop or just send to Photoshop apply Noise Ninja and then make other edits?  Is this an option, does Aperture send the Noise Ninja edits across to Photoshop or are these lost?
    I am moving to CS6 and will run 64 bit (and Noise Ninja for Mac is still 32 bit ... annoying).  Hence my interest in running NN in Aperture.
    Of course if Aperture or Photoshop matched NN ...

    Very good reasons  .
    OP -- do you need to use an external editor for any other edits?  If so, then use PS as the base file for all external edits.  If not ... imho it's easier (and this ease if worth something) to just launch the external editor directly from Aperture.
    So _if_ you are going to edit in PS, _and_ you are going to use NN, then call NN from PS.
    Put generally, I suggest that you _always_ launch external editors from PS whenever you will be using more than one.  This aggregates the edits into layers (at least I think it does) saved as a single Aperture Master.  (Each calling of an external editor creates a new Master in Aperture.)
    Aside: the handling of externally edited files in Aperture violates the "non-destructive workflow".  The implemention is, imho, immature.  I'm hoping for a robust solution in the next full release of Aperture.

  • 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.

  • Illustrator CS6 64-bit Crashes When Opening Files

    This is a problem that has been plaguing me since I moved to CS6 64-bit (on a Windows 7 machine). I've only seen it in Illustrator:
    Seemingly randomly once or twice a week, I will click on an AI file in Windows Explorer to open it, and Illustrator will crash to the desktop. There is no consistency to the files that I've been able to find. Some are local to my hard drive, and some are on the network. It could be a file I've opened several times the same day already or a file I haven't opened in months. I restart Illustrator and everything's fine— I can access the file, no problem.
    The only trait that I have sussed out is that it seems to happen more frequently if I've left the computer idle for 20 minutes or so, which is well below the sleep time-out for my hard drive. It's almost like Illustrator doesn't know how to wait for a file if the file isn't immediately available. (The files are not open elsewhere.) I've read that Illustrator is cranky with files on network locations, but this happens more frequently with local files.
    Program files are loaded from an SSD, but the scratch disk is my local HD and my files are stored on the HD. My scratch disk was originally the SSD, but the problem occured almost every day under that configuration. Moving the scratch disk to the HD made the crashes occur less frequently.
    The event log for yesterday's crash doesn't seem to be particularly helpful. (Posted below.)
    Is this behavior familiar to anyone? I have been searching Adobe's forums and the web in general with no luck for the last year. My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere in the forums and I haven't found it.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a shot... but wouldn't other applications be experiencing the same thing? I open Photoshop files all day and it's never happened. I'm in and out of CorelDraw as well. (I don't open Corel files in Illustrator.) I also see no disk errors in the event log, but, as I said, I'll check for updates because that couldn't hurt, right?  :-)
    Thanks again.

  • CS6 (64 bit) crashes 'Bad Pool Header'

    Hi All,
    I just installed Photoshop CS6 International English and the 13_0_1_1 update.
    Bridge standard and 64 bit both work. CS6 standard works. CS6 64 bit crashes with a blue screen 'Bad Pool Header'.
    I reinstalled CS6 and the update. No change.
    Windows and all drivers are up to date.
    I have been using Photoshop for many years - starting with v 6. I have been using CS5 64 bit on this system since it came out with no problems. CS5 64 bit is still working with CS6 installed.
    CS6 64 bit is the only program to have ever given me this error on any computer I have ever had.
    Custom built system:
    Asus motherboard M4A78-e
    AMD Phenom 9950 quad 2.61 GHz
    8 GB 1066 MHz Corsair ram
    Ati Radeon Sapphire Vapor-X HD4890 1GB memory
    Enermax Revolution 85+ power supply
    Zalman CPU 9950 fan
    Lian-Li PC60FN case
    Windows xp professional x64 service pack 2.
    Thank you for taking the time to read about my problem and thank you in advance for any suggestions.

    Dear Mylenium,
    I can see from your profile you have been very active on this forum for many years and have undoubtedly helped too many people to count. However, your certainty and negativity belies my experience, both with CS 5 64 bit and with CS 6 Bridge 64 bit, as you can see from my initial post.
    I took your suggestion and opened the Event Viewer. There were no logs to read. I looked in the properties of each of the log types in the events window and went to windows\system32\config\ just to be sure. Is there anything I can do to trigger creatitng an event log or should I look to finding the info in some other way or place?
    Thank you for taking the time to respond.

  • Illustrator CS6 64-bit dvaui.dll and msvcr100.dll crashing problem, any solution?

    First things first, trying to find a tech support Email address or phone number has been infuriating.  The "3-step support wizard" which results in "go to the forums" is also infuriating and insulting.
    I have a Windows 7 64-bit PC running CS6 64-bit (updated/current), and it's crashing at random (2-3 times per day).  I see events recorded in the event log showing dvaui.dll and msvcr100.dll as the source.  Other people have raised this as an issue, and all I see are guesses.  Does Adobe have a credible solution for this yet?
    I've tried running as a domain admin, which did not help.
    Illustrator CS6 32-bit seems to be working perfectly (4 days straight, no crashing).
    It seems to currently affect only one computer (5 others are fine).  It's not repeatable, and has no discernible cause.
    Also, format and reinstall is neither a solution nor an option.
    To be honest, I'm looking for Adobe to address this directly: do you know why this is happening, and how long until it is solved?  If an Adobe tech support will open a case, I have a file that the designer (I'm not the designer) was using during one of the crashes.  I don't know if the crashing will be related (to the file), but I have the file just in case.
    David.

    Hi Larry,
    Thank you for responding.
    > CS6 is current in that it is still available for purchase and in the CC but it is now two versions behind.
    I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say.  Can you be explicit, please?
    > As to your problem have you tried downloading the .dll files from Microsoft and reinstalling them?
    I have copied and re-registered the DLL files from a known-good machine (that is to say that the machine doesn't exhibit any of the symptoms as the above machine), which did not help.
    I'm really interested in having Adobe respond directly to this issue.  I know they are aware of it.
    It's clear that Adobe doesn't actually want to support this program, but people rely on it for their economic success.  Both my client and his employees need this program to function properly and reliably, and I think anyone would agree that it's reasonable to expect that a problem like this (that affects more than just us) be, at a minimum, addressed.  Adobe has my client's money, they had no problem accepting it.  With that acceptance comes a duty to be responsive.
    Thanks,
    David.

  • Noise Ninja 64-bit Plugin for Aperture 3

    For those of you who rely on Noise Ninja, I figured the community would be interested in the news that they have finished their 64 plug-in for Aperture 3 and are in the final testing phase before release.
    I wrote them yesterday, and got the following response:
    Hi Kevin,
    We will make a 64 bit Aperture 3 plug-in available once we've had time to test the plug-in and installation process. The plug-in is already running. We just have to finish testing and update the web site. I do not anticipate this taking more than a week.
    We will provide this release as soon as we can.
    I will send you an email as soon as we have our release ready.
    Kind regards,
    Bill
    PictureCode
    I have been using their application since 2004, and in Aperture since Apple introduced the plugin structure wit Version 2. IMHO, Noise Ninja is best-in-class, and great folks to deal with.

    Sincerely,

    Yes! Got my email notice this afternoon -- it works!

  • Performance Issues with Photoshop CS6 64-Bit

    Hello -
    Issue at hand: over the course of the last few weeks, I have noticed significant issues with performance since the last update to PS CS6 via the Adobe Application Manager, ranging from unexpected shut downs to bringing my workstation to a crawl (literally, my cursor seems to crawl across my displays). I'm curious as to if anyone else is experiencing these issues, or if there is a solution I have not yet tried. Here is a list of actions that result in these performance issues - there are likely more that I have either not experienced due to my frustration, or have not documented as occuring multiple times:
    Opening files - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
    Pasting from clipboard - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
    Saving files - takes 3-10 seconds to open the dialog, another 3-10 seconds to return to normal window (saving a compressed PNG)
    Eyedropper tool - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
    Attempting to navigate any menu - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
    Attempts I've taken to resolve this matter, which have failed:
    Uninstalled all fonts that I have added since the last update (this was a pain in the ***, thank you Windows explorer for being glitchy)
    Uninstall application and reinstall application
    Use 32-bit edition
    Changing process priority to Above Normal
    Confirm process affinity to all available CPU cores
    Change configuration of Photoshop performance options

  • Opening CDR file - Extremely Fatal to CS6 64-bit apps

    I'm trying to get down the bottom of what's causing an extremely serious error in the 64-bit version of Adobe Illustrator CS6.
    Adobe Illustrator can open CorelDRAW .CDR files, to a certain extent. The .CDR files need to be saved down to version 9 or 10 compatibility. One of my coworkers just ran into a really bad Illustrator CS6 crash caused when opening a .CDR file. This is a crash I had to endure on my own new system a couple months ago.
    After Illustrator CS6 64-bit crashes it simply refuses to launch again. It crashes and closes. Rebooting doesn't help. Deleting the AI prefs file doesn't help. Worse yet, the crash basically hoses all of the CS6 64-bit apps that are installed. The 64-bit version of Photoshop CS6 crashes when opening a file.
    The last time this happened my only recourse was to do a "factory reset" on my computer, basically wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 8 Professional in a clean state and then going through the very long, slow process of downloading and installing the CS6 apps from the Creative Cloud.
    Does anyone in this forum have any experience with this particular kind of crash? Are there any possible alternatives that might fix this error besides wiping the hard drive and starting over? This bug is pretty badly timed. Gonna have to go through all the download/install process stuff again when the new CC apps are released.

    The bug is unpredictable. Once the bug has occurred Adobe Illustrator CS6 64-bit will no longer launch. Rebooting and deleting the aiprefs file doesn't work. Additionally the bug also permanently affects other CS6 64-bit applications. Photoshop CS6 64-bit will launch, but it crashes when opening any file. After Effects and Premiere Pro crash at launch. No third party plug-ins were installed on this computer.
    Affected computer's hardware:
    Dell XPS 8500 Desktop
    • Core i7 3770 Quad Core 3.4GHz
    • 16GB RAM - Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 4 DIMMs
    • nVidia GeForce GT640 1GB GDDR5 SDRAM
    • 2TB 7200rpm SATA 6 Gb/s Hard Disc
    • DVD-R/W Drive
    • 19 in 1 media card reader
    • Windows 8 Professional 64-bit
    When this bug affected my own workstation a couple months ago, I tried to uninstall Adobe Illustrator CS6, download it again and then reinstall. Illustrator CS6 64-bit still refused to launch. The other 64-bit apps wouldn't launch either. So I ended up wiping the hard disc, reinstalling Win 8 Pro clean and downloading/reinstalling everything and just being careful to not open any .CDR files after that. My workstation is a little better equipped (Core i7 3770, 24GB of RAM, BD-RW drive, nVidia GeForce 660GTX, Intel SRT solid state drive with SATA 6gb/s 2TB HDD).
    Previously I did run into problems when opening CorelDRAW .CDR artwork that was larger than a standard letter sized page. I would get hit with a dialog box saying "the file appears to be corrupt." I'd end up making CorelDRAW save the artwork into Adobe Illustrator CS5 format and then opening it Illustrator. Once my Adobe apps got hosed by a certain .CDR file I simply stopped trying to open any CorelDRAW files directly in Illustrator at all. Didn't want to go through the long process of reinstalling everything from scratch again. Unfortunately my coworker didn't remember the details of my experience. So now we're dealing with it on her new machine.
    My coworker said she thinks she remembers which .CDR file caused Illustrator CS6 64-bit to crash. Here's a Dropbox link to it:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86940762/V130520-1%20CC%20expo%20center%20billingsley% 20ford%20FS.cdr
    Warning: I do not recommend other users to try opening this CorelDRAW file within Adobe Illustrator CS6. I'm sure not trying it on my installation!
    This particular .CDR file doesn't have any active type in it. But it does feature some strange clipped gradient effects. I think some of this artwork was originally created in Illustrator and then saved in CorelDRAW. I'm wondering if there is some sort of way Corel tried to reinterpret the artwork that caused Illustrator to lose its mind when reopening it. If memory serves correctly I was opening some similar Illustrator-generated and then Corel-saved art in my own copy of AI CS6 64-bit when it crashed.

  • Aperture 3 and Noise Ninja

    Has anyone heard when Noise Ninja will be updated to run Aperture 3? Right now, Aperture 3 is instructing that I run Aperture in 32-bit mode rather than 64 in order to use this plug-in but that doesn't seem to be working.

    This past Wednesday (17th), I had an email exchange with a support person from PictureCode. He reported that:
    "We will make a 64 bit Aperture 3 plug-in available once we've had time to test the plug-in and installation process. The plug-in is already running. We just have to finish testing and update the web site. I do not anticipate this taking more than a week.
    We will provide this release as soon as we can."
    So soon, I suppose

  • Recent crashes of PS CS6 when saving a file

    Hi, Just started having an issue with PS CS6 crashing each time I try to save a file, no idea what this is or why it's happening,
    I've scoured multiple forums, re installed, checked fonts library. I'm at my wits end... Some help would be hugely
    appreciated.

    Hi !
    No I've worked with up to 2 gig TIF files without a problem, just checked the event log and this is what I"m seeing

    Seems to be crashes by Photoshop and Bridge both. Never experienced this in 6 years of using PS. As a pro photographer you can imagine it's very important for me to get this working... Any help is much appreciated.

  • 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!

  • 64bit Noise Ninja released

    For CS4 + Vista64 users: "The Noise Ninja plug-in is now available for 64-bit Photoshop CS4 on 64-bit Windows."
    http://www.picturecode.com/news.htm#PhotoshopWin64

    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.
