P: X-T2 Fuji Files have small purple artifact at edge of image after Denoise

Hint: Originally I posted at the wrong forum part (Camera Raw) and therefore my post got lost (I think).

The symptoms are purple lines on the AI improved DNG files in lets say each 10th processed *.dng file. In the link at the end of this text you will find 3 files:

  1. _DSF2201.dng
  2. _DSF2201-Enhanced-NR.dng and
  3. LrC_12.4_2023-06-15.png

1. is a *.raf file which got converted to *.dng. (I do this with all my Fujifilm RAW files.)

2. is the AI enhanced / processed file with purple line at the top edge as well as the right edge. Default settings used at enhancement.

3. is my LrC system information.

LrC is running on Win 10 V22H2, on two (very) different machines. Both show the same purple line artifacts.

The fix made at LrC 12.4 may help for the original provided X-H1 *.raf files (from user Japhotofin) but not for my files. Can someone confirm my finding? Thank you!

Hi all, yesterday I updated LrC and Camera raw and then used the denoise tool and it generated purple two purple lines one at the very edge and one few pixels away. I use Canon R8 generating CR3 raw files and the result from denoise is DNG file. The issue is not totally resolved

LrC 13.01: After approx. 5 months again no fix provided 😞

P.S. The now produced file size is 26.834 kBytes vs. before 67.915 kBytes. The new introduced JEPG XL compression works well.

Thank you Ory217759190xsq and SoylentYellow for your answers. 

Now with the 2nd reply which is telling not using DNG files the chance is again increased that the AI Noise reduction is only for Fujifilm DNG files not working (but for the original RAF files it is since LrC V12.4 OK).

@SoylentYellow is your X100F problem gone and happened it with RAF raw source files?

 

Yes and Yes. Conversion works great now, and I was indeed working from the RAF file, I do not convert to DNG.

I use RAF files.

Thank you kernpanik. This points to my source file type suspicion. I cannot proof it, I do not keep the original *.raf files.

@kernpanik Do you use RAF or DNG raw files?

 

I use RAF files.

 

A conversion to DNG takes place at the end of the AI denoise process, when the de-noised image is saved as a new DNG file.
