Question

Macbook Pro crashes when using new AI Denoise

I have been trying to use the Denoise without one single success.  My Macbook has 16MB of RAM and is up to that (running Big Sur 11.7.6).

 

It will continualklycrash before completing even 20% of the DNG generation process andf the crash takes one of three forms.....

1) Lightroom only crashes.

2) all programmes crash but my comnputer does not crash.

3) my computer crashes and I get computer generated warning of the crash.

 

I have cleaned up my computer, removed unneccessary apps, cleaned out the cache, reloaded Lightroom Classic, run only LRC with all other programmes closed and still no success.........!

 

I am now running the 30 day trial period of DxO Pure Raw 3 which if I cannot solve this problem will cost me USD129. DxO takes no more than 2 minutes to complete the noise reduction with a 100% success rate.  Needless to say, I do not want to spend USD129 when I already have a LRC subscription. 

 

Please help to solve this problem.

Do the LR menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running.

Many thanks again for your input and advices.  It seems that unless I upgrade my computer, I am stuck not being able to use Denoise.  The NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M ohn has 2GB


I have the same problem as Melc88 but I'm using an iMac running Big Sur too.
Question, why is it that I can run DxO, ON1 Denoise AI, Topaz Denoise AI, Nik Software Define all without any crash, freeze or problem? Yet the infamous Adobe LRC, cannot even get passed 30% of the Denoise AI DNG generated file.
The other software are ways around the Adobe issue, but why spend more cash on software when I'm already paying Adobe monthly subs? Buying a new machine is easy said than done.
Has anyone managed to obtain a working solution to this issue? Would love to hear.

Try logging into another Mac user account (you should make a new one); still crashing? 
Try starting up in Safe mode (hold down Shift Key when booting*), still crashing? 
You might want to try running a free utility like Onyx: still crashing?

Hi thedigitaldog

Thanks for the multiple suggestions, much appreciated.

Unfortunately I have not been able to solve the problem and below is the outcome of the suggestions you made.

Logging into another Mac user account - crashed around 30% of dng generation.

In Safe mode - Lightroom said my dng files were not compatible with denoise.

Onyx would not run on my OS 11.7.6 OS.

I reset the nvram/pram and smc - denoise managed to load the enhanced preview and said dng generation in 5 minutes. I pressed Enhance and 5 seconds later I got a message saying denoise was not applied "unknow error"!

So many thanks again and I will wait for further suggestions.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

 

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
