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

Because of having to manually rename a file then convert it to tif I do not use the new Adobe Denoise. I use 3rd party denoise apps. Much faster and less cumbersome in my worflow. Get with it Adobe. I want control of naming and what file type it ends up as. 

It's just amazing this is still a broken feature.

Okay, maybe it's not a "bug" but it's something that was broken from the day 1.

@mschlotz 

For the purpose of this forum a bug is: the software is performing other than as designed to perform. 

Obviously depending on where one sits (Adobe or User) the technical determination of bug - no bug becomes a debate. However, this is a very simple fix (add a check box to either add or not add  '-Enhanced-NR' to the filename). Moving this to a 'suggestions thread' immediately diminishes the issue from Adobe's perespective to one of significantly less importance despite the simplicity of the fix that many users are clamering for. 

Respectully disagree, hard coding filenames should not be happening in this era. It's certainly a 30+ year hold over from the past and as such, is a bug is many people's mind.  Please get this on the list to change for the next version, 12.6.

Thanks!

As of the current 12.5 version and it has been this way since the introduction of the Enhanced Denoise funtion, the returning filename ends with  ' -Enhanced-NR.dng' and there is NO WAY to change the default. Renaming the files after the fact is a real problem especially when many are being done via batch.  Hard coding filenames was something that was around back in the 80's and certainly does not belong in 2023 application software.  Let's get with the progam Adobe and provide a method to adjust what the returning filename (not extension) will be.  Personnaly I want to set it to just be filename.dng.  There is already provisions within LR to address existing filename.dng's by adding a -1 or 2 etc to the filename.  

We are now on ver 12.5 and the problem of not being able to set the default naming process used by the enhanced denoise function is still an issue.  Renaming after the fact becomes a real PITA when you are batch processing many photos.  Who at Adobe thought that a forced renaming of files to ....-Enhanced-NR.dng was appropriate? There should be a way to allow the process to generate the enhanced files with a user definned naming.  For example:   filename.dng  

Come on Adobe get with the program.  Hard coded filenames are circa 1988 !!!

Exactly my problem...unstil Adobe can fix this I'll stick with Topaz and PureRAW

I agree.  Adobe should give us the ability to control the naming of our file.  The default naming breaks my output naming scheme and is just cumbersome.

So the solution I found is a two step process.  In your workflow example, you should do it after step 2 and before step 3.

1)  I created a new naming present with the format:  Filenmae_Preserved File Name.  That puts the original file name and sequence number out of camera back on the end of the file name.  So now it looks like SDP_CLIENT20230618-1234-Enghanced-NR-_DSC-1234.DNG (whew!).

2)  Now I can rename my files again with my original naming preset and sequence number.  So the final result is SDP_CLIENT20230618-1234.DNG.

If you prefer to use unique sequences, you can preserver the original sequence number in step 1, and that will give you an indicator where to start the sequence when you rename in step 2.

Hope that helps, and hopefuly Adobe sees this thread and makes a fix to allow us to change the default script.

"Have you considered that the original raw file very often is a DNG already? They can't have the same name."

Of course, and Adobe already provides a unique naming feature, ie _1 etc, when saving files.  We just want ergonomic control over the naming of files.  This is an area Adobe normally excels:  control, elegance, ergonomics and efficient workflows.
