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.

Non-destructive denoise breaks super resolution for TIFF files that have been denoised already.

Lightroom will have non-destructive Denoise in the near future (as already shown in Camera Raw). No new DNG will be created, so it makes sense that these guys do not waste time to write code that will be obsolete soon.

Another year passed... this is ridiculous with the earnings you guys are making!

Ok, I'm not getting this.

I use CR2 and CR3 files and run them through Denoise. The new file is xxx-Enhanced-NR.dng.

The suggestion hereis  to use "Preserved Filename" but that is set to the "Enhanced" name. The original xxx.CR3 name is gone.

I don't see any option to hardcode or use a regex to remove parts of the name, only to insert.

Can someone PLEASE post a solution that works with these dmg files? Or better yet, can someone from Adobe give us naming options? I can choose to show a flourish in the Lightroom window but I can't control file names. Crazy.

I use a third-party file renaming tool, Ant Renamer (https://www.antp.be/software/renamer), which works very well. For example, because "Enhanced-NR" takes up too many characters, I will have Ant Renamer search for that term in a file name and replace it with "EnhNR." This can easily be done for any text sequence. Then, I'll go back to Lightroom Classic and synchronize the folder to reflect the new file names.

 

That said, it would clearly be very helpful if Adobe gave users the option to add whatever text we want to a file name in order to indicate that we've used Enhanced NR.

 

Hope this helps, Eric

El problema es que la palabra "Mejorada" completa es muy largo.  Me gusta mantener el numero de imagen de la camara y cuando se le quita el ruido LR le añade la palabra mejorada completa, ademas de "NR". Lo que me gustaria es dejar solo esa paarte NR para identificarlas pero no tener en el nombre la palabra "mejorda". 

 

He probado en la exportacion a poner que el nombre sea el original poniendole un sufijo, pero claro, entiende como original el que ha creado de esa forma que indico: nombre de archivo-NR-mejorada. 

 

Gracias por la ayuda y un saludo

Right so some of the export functionality requires finding the file number.  The file number must be right before the "." in for example .png.  Therefore even if you did include Enhanced-NR in the file name it's better if this comes BEFORE the sequence number so that you can use export with sequence number and the export is able to use it.  If "Enhanced-NR" is at the end, then including sequence number in a custom export filename breaks and it starts with 1 regardless of the original file number.  Therefore hopefully whatever change you might make to this should leave the OFN at the end for example image12242024-EnhancedNR-01137.cr2.  Then it can be exported as 01137 and not "1".

Prewsumably this problem will go away since Adobe is changing how Denoise works.

I agree that I don't want Lightroom changing the filename, so what I am doing now is batch renaming after using denoise. This changes the filename back to my original filename.
