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.

Personally, I've found that I can control the file names by choosing Export - Custom Settings - (choose settings or preset) - select Custom Name in File Naming - type what I want in the Custom Name input, and start the numbering at 1. Of course this only works if you want all the images you're exporting to have the same file name followed by ascending numbers, which works for me because I use the name of the event. For example, I type something like Open_House as the name, export 48 pictures and end up with files named Open_House_01.jpg through Open_House_48.jpg. 

 

Hope this isn't a duplicate comment — I didn't read through everything posted.

Preserve filename reverts to the name of the file at import from the camera or sd card, so this doesn't work if you prefer to rename your files to your own liking.

I am using Lightroom Classic V13.0.1  on Windows 10. This is how I figured out how to keep the file names when exporting without the 'enhanced-NR' tag. 

1. Select first image in gallery.
2. Shift + click last image in gallery.
3. Hit F2. If this works for you skip to step 6.
4. On command line, select library. 
5. Click rename photos
6. On Filing naming click and select Edit...
7. There will be text written in the box, click mouse after last name and delete them all with backspace key.
8. Select "Preserved Filename" and click the insert button and then done button at bottom right.
9. Export photos like normal. 

This fixed it for me and it appears this changed it for all of my galleries. The next time I import photos I will have to see if it this was a one time fix or if I need to do this with each new gallery.

Hoped it helped. I included some photos below showing the steps.

On mac it's here:

/Applications/Adobe Lightroom/Adobe Lightroom.app/Contents/Resources/fr.lproj

Replace "fr" by your language (doesn't work for "en")

Then there are two lines to modify.

In my case I searched for "=Avec accentuation" and "=Bruit".
Sometimes there are several matching lines, you need to choose the correct one.

Hi, can you point me to the location of this file, please?

Just tried to modify the Translated Strings file...

Seems to work for now but we are stuck with the -Enhanced-NR structure, however you can just put --X with the letter of your choice to get a kindof minimal naming.

Not sure it's possible if your LR is in English.

The "Enhanced-NR" suffix is already much much better than the horrible translated versions of it.

In French it's "Avec Accentuation-Bruit" (which could be translated in English to "with unsharp mask-Noise" which is total nonsense).

 

A simple find/replace option in lightroom filename would do, but the function is non existing, and no I don't want to go back to the "preserve filename" which my camera choose for me, I just want to get rid of the suffix or choose my own one .

 

This was my #1 wish for lightroom update as it takes so much boring time to manually replace the suffix, but unfortunately this wasn't the case.

Hi, Lightroom now generates new DNG files with AI-based noise reduction. Unfortunately the images get new names like IMG001-verbessert-RR.DNG. Is there a way to modify the string that is added to the original name of the picture? Is there a way to set this string to the empty string?

Thanks!

Maybe this is a feature request but can we customize the default renaming for enhanced noise reduced images? I think everyone will have their own way and I agree with some of the folks in this thread the Enhanced-NR is too long of an add-on (especially if you DAM filename structures already)

I mentioned in one of my other responses that I would need to hire someone to prepare my files for editing (e.g. Denoising)

 

Totally missed there was a batch enhancement function: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/enhance-details.html

 

This will make life easier but still would be good to receive help.

@DdeGannes 

 

I was clarifying the distinction between the terms 'working' and 'original'. That's all.

 

Have a great day!
