P: Denoise AI and Pentax K3 MKIII DNG files - not working

Ale na początku to odszumianie działało i to nawet fajnie. 

Redukcja Szumów AI nie poprawia zdjeć zrobionych aparatmi marki Pentax plików PEF zdjecie jest tak samo zaszumione jak było jest tylko wyostrzone.

Lightroom Classic 13.1 i 13.2

Hi Rikk, I own a K3iii (edited) and I ahve the same issue not having the AI denoise reduction working as expected. All the sftware are updated and I can add  the same issue is using .PEF file produced with the camera not only using the .DNG file. I do not know if this is relevant for the guys that are investigating but the question is : as far as you know any statement from Adobe? Any idea of solution if planned? Thanks

wrong bet on tools on your part... DxO can remove that noise ( DeepPrime seems to work better than DeepPrimeXD ) from those Ricoh raw files

>  The problem is the files the camera produces just like with the Pentax K3 where Photo AI and other AI noise reduction software also won't work, so this issue is not unique to Lightroom. 

as noted there is no problem - DxO PL AI/ML NR works on those raw files... just get the tools that actually work, stop complaining

PS: and as a bonus DxO PL comes with optics corrections for your Ricoh's... so DNG you will export to ACR/LR will have both NR and optics corrections already applied

you can always get DxO PhotoLab and use it's AI/ML NR and then export DNG to be used in ACR/LR ... just like with Adobe you of course will be saddled with an extra DNG

I don't have DxO but I do have Topaz PhotoAI and it also cannot remove the noise from the Ricoh files I linked to above (https://www.dpreview.com/sample-galleries/9930153897/ricoh-gr-iii-sample-gallery/6881829042 I used the ISO 1600 image of green flowers). The problem is the files the camera produces just like with the Pentax K3 where Photo AI and other AI noise reduction software also won't work, so this issue is not unique to Lightroom. 

@Jao vdL Thanks. When I wrote my answer, the question wasn't merged with this thread yet, so I wasn't aware of the issue.

DxO can, so there is no reason why Adobe in principle can not

you can always get DxO PhotoLab and use it's AI/ML NR and then export DNG to be used in ACR/LR ... just like with Adobe you of course will be saddled with an extra DNG 

@JohanElzenga Raw files from the Ricoh cameras have the same issue as the Pentax that the thread is about. AI denoise does nothing to the noise in the images. Just confirmed with some files from: https://www.dpreview.com/sample-galleries/9930153897/ricoh-gr-iii-sample-gallery/6881829042 and yeah, AI denoise does not reduce the noise in those files at all either. I think perhaps the raw files on this camera are also preprocessed by the camera before writing out so AI denoise can't do its job anymore.

Wondering when can we have the AI Noise Reduction feature support for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx?? Now its not working at all.

Sorely missed, as the manual options arent doing good enough with these rather noisy sensors at night (otherwise brilliant IQ cameras)...

Thanks!
