Noise Ninja plug-in for 64-bit Photoshop CS4 or CS5 on 64-bit Windows

 

PHOTOSHOP/WINDOWS COMPATIBILITY: This download is only for 64-bit versions of Photoshop CS4 or CS5 running on 64-bit Windows (including 64 bit versions of Windows7, Vista, and XP). Note that all earlier versions of Photoshop are 32-bit applications even when running on 64-bit Windows. 32-bit versions of Photoshop, or 32-bit versions of Windows, require the 32-bit version of Noise Ninja, available here.

NOTE: By default on 64-bit Windows, CS4 and CS5 install both a 64-bit version in "Program Files" and a 32-bit version in "Program Files (x86)". Some users end up running the 32-bit version by mistake. To determine the version you are running, go to the System Info dialog (under the Help Menu) in Photoshop. The first line should display the version number for Photoshop and end with "X64". If you don't see "X64", you are probably running the 32-bit version.

LICENSING: Unlocking the plug-in version of Noise Ninja requires a Home Bundle or Pro Bundle license. If you already have a Home Standalone or Pro Standalone license, you can upgrade to the corresponding Bundle edition for $10. See the purchase page for details. You may use the software without a license but it will run in trial mode where images are marked with a grid pattern after filtering.

If you don't see the plug-in, make sure you are not accidentally running the 32-bit version of Photoshop CS4. By default on 64-bit Windows, CS4 installs both a 64-bit version in "Program Files" and a 32-bit version in "Program Files (x86)", and some users end up running the 32-bit version by mistake. To determine the version you are running, go to the System Info dialog (under the Help Menu) in Photoshop. The first line should display the version number for Photoshop and end with "X64". If you don't see "X64", you are probably running the 32-bit version.
