In both Lightroom and ACR, the Denoise amount cannot be adjusted before applying it. This is a regression from the previous preview UI where the amount could be changed before applying Denoise.
This means that Denoise must be applied before changes are possible, and the result must be recalculated if a change IS made. This is very, very poor behavior and a huge waste of time for anyone using (for example) different cameras or ISO settings which may need different Denoise amounts. This is made worse because it appears that Denoise amount always starts at 50 and doesn't use the previous setting (unless that can be changed.)
It also appears that this only happens if multiple files are selected, and the most selected file is NOT updated? If I select three files with Auto-Sync, apply Denoise, change the slider, the update dialog only shows two files being updated.
@Bianca31783367or78 , The Denoise AI functions are evolving over the past two years and I am pleased to see that the function has evolved to function as a non destructive editor and preserves the original image and stores the edits in the Catalog file and support data files,
There is no necessity to create XMP sidecar files for RAW images or store Metadata to DNG, Tiff, JPEG or other images.
Yes the Denoise now sets the slider to the default 50%, however adjusting the slider is available to adjust as soon as the Denoise is complete, the adjustments are applied instantaneously an you can see the results.
You as the user can export any number of image file type for use in sharing, printing and other requirements.
I you prefer to use XMP sidecar files and store edits with the file you can use the Alternative Raw processing Adobe Camera Raw.
