P: Bring back the ability of Enhance to run in the background. (LrC)

In my experience it is not only about the cumbersome use now but mor relevant for me the quality of the output. I was not able to get the same quality of the resulting file as I got with the dng Version. The clarity, sharpness and amount of detail I could not achieve with the new process. So I reinstalled LrC 14.3.1 and keep it just for that reason. Such a shame. That was the "One click" solution I was waiting for years and that was completely destroyed by this upadate.

Not sure why @Peter_Weimann7679's thread was merged here when it's about the quality of the current denoise process, and not the execution.

I haven't actually done any comparisons myself, so I can't confirm Peter's claim, but assuming there were any back-end changes to denoising, those could remain the same while reverting the front-end process to the former method (of running in the background). And vice versa, the back-end changes could be reverted while the front-end process remains the same.

Performing enhance features without having to generate a DNG is a wonderful improvement and since it's introduction I find I'm using those features more and more.  Please do not go back to the old cumbsersome method.  If someone truly desires a scad of DNG/'s cluttering up their disk drive they can export the result as a DNG.

However, I do agree with other sentiments that there is a need to be able to batch process enhance features in the background.  I haven't tried "auto sync" or "copy settings" which would satisfy the batch requirement but I don't believe will satisfy the background issue.

while i love that i can now denoise in the details tab i would also like to suggest that you add back the bulk enhance and also leaving it in the deatils tab so we can still easily change the amount that was enhanced just a suggestion it would be a great addition when working in harsh lighting and having to fix a ton in post production 

Can we please revert the updated AI noise reduction update? Lightroom has become almost un usable now. Instead of it being a simple process , it's not turned into a 5-6 part (piece by piece) endeavor. Please revert this newest update. 

Is there a way to keep the former Denoise Version with the dmg file or use the former LrC and when needed the newer version on a Mac? The former Denoise worked by far better for me. The image was much more crispy and not mushy. Any ideas?

In the new update the AI denoise feature no longer works as a background task when applying it to multiple images as a batch process in version 14.4

The whole process is a lot clunkier now and blocks lightroom from doing anything else in the meantime for a long time.

In previous version, you could select the images, press enhance and then it will apply it to all in the background.

Now I have to do it manually for one image, wait for it to apply and then sync the settings across all images after which it will block me form using lightroom until it's complete.

This change makes the process unbearable and makes it only possible for me to do it at night when I don't need to use lightroom. This needs to be fixed asap.

Help. After new update I can no longer work on editing images while denoise is working. I am a sports photographer and denoise all images (100's). This was no problem before but now while one image is applying denoise it locks you from doing anything else. This is adding hours to my editing time. I like that I can bulk denoise through syncing now and love that it doesnt change the name of the file to enhanced (hate that clients see that) but now I can no longer see from the quickview thumbnails whether an image has already had denoise applied or not.  Am I missing something?

It´s really pain, on my computer I have to denoise before I can choose eg. 60 %, so I have to denoise on pre-selected value, then I can move to 60, 20,... Then I have to copy and paste to all images. AND... then there´s after x minutes againg this AI SYNC pain procedure, image by image 😞
