P: A way to alter the naming for Enhanced filename suffixes

My workflow for Adobe Denoise.

  1. Edit RAW image in Lightroom
  2. Use Denoise AI which saves and changes my file name – adds Enhanced-NR
  3. Open the DGN in Photoshop and do more edits
  4. Close DGN and it saves my default LR file type as a layered TIF.
  5. Delete the DGN and rename the tif.

Step 6 is a pain. I haven’t figured out a fast way to get rid of the extra words “Enhanced-NR” in the file name.

And if I use Lightroom to export the DGN as a TIF it flattens the layers created in Photoshop - not good.

This problem was recently fixed by Adobe in the 14.4 version. Noise Reduction can now done within the RAW file.

As the June releases of Adobe's Photography Products now no longer produce a derivative DNG File, this issue should no longer be present.

Gone way off topic here folks...maybe read the title of the thread and start one for your own topics...where are the mods?

On older files (Sony A700 and A850), Super Resolution on the RAW creates bad artifacts in fine detail like hair. It works a lot better for me to denoise first and then apply the super resolution. I haven't had the Sony bodies since 2013 and of course there are no camera and lens profiles (they used to be included with ACR.) I bought PureRAW but it had terrible oversharpening with Canon 5DSr files so I ditched that. Ugh.

OK, I wasn't counting RGB files. I've always found that Super Resolution produced vastly better results on raw mosaic data.

 

EDIT: It works in both ACR and Lightroom Classic. Just tested both. I denoised a raw file in ACR, with the new tech preview algorithm, and opened it in Photoshop. Then I saved it as TIFF.

 

Super Resolution works normally on this TIFF, in both ACR and Lightroom Classic.

Denoise and Super Resolution CAN be used together.

Denoise the RAW file. Open and save as TIFF or Photoshop format.

Apply Super Resolution.

This support needs to be cleaned up.

Lightroom has been able to use SR on both TIFF and PSD until the latest update.

Camera RAW from Bridge has been able to do TIFF with the Technology Preview off, creating a new DNG.

Camera RAW from Photoshop has been able to do both (selecting Camera RAW format upon open) with the Technology Preview off

With the Technology Preview on, SR is disabled for all rasterized file formats.

@ExUSA 

Denoise and Super Resolution have always been mutually exclusive, you can do one or the other, but not both. So nothing is broken as such.

 

However, I did expect the new "tech preview"-algorithm to allow that. But that does not seem to be the case. Further enhancing is still forbidden when one of them has been applied.

 

The old algorithms produced demosaiced (RGB) files. Both required mosaic data to work.

 

The new Denoise in ACR (with Tech Preview) does not demosaic:

Camera RAW will not do Super Resolution on NR-enhanced files with the tech preview enabled. This has been since that preview was released. Lightroom enhance just broke in the last update.

Thats great, hope the near future is near then... 🙂
Sorry if my comment was a little snarky but... saing "it makes sense that these guys do not waste time to write code that will be obsolete soon" does not make sense for a bug that is over 2+ years old. Coding a name change option fot the mean time would have been an easy/quick fix for alot of people. But i guess big corp corpo thing, even small changes take along time.

I believe you mix up two things. The bug with TIFFs that cannot be enhanced with super resolution has nothing to do with non-destructive Denoise, but with the current version of Denoise.
