i have 20 GB of RAM since i work in RAW. the original question remains -why change something we have been using for 10+ (maybe 20 years)! i dont' want to test it again at this moment because i cannot afford any computer crash this week. how do i check that the GPU is up to date? there are no updates for me in Mac OS...

Nothing in manual noise reduction has changed. You can continue using it just as you have been, and ignore Denoise.

The only change is that manual noise reduction has been tucked away into a sub-panel that you have to open, and then you need to click the arrows to expand the full set of parameters.

Once you've done that, it sticks and you won't have to think about it again.

What on earth have adobe done to denoise in Photoshop 2025 - uploaded the upgrade two days ago and it has destroyed several of my photos - randomply it just mulches them as the attached image shows - what an utter diasaster - please please fix things and stop the recent upgrade which is a disaster!

This how the denoised file looks on my PC - I can't get back to the original and photoshop seems to have destroyed it!

I'm not sure why there is a ( DeNoise AI ) button if you have to manually adjust from the dropdown arrow?

What we're saying is that if you don't want to use the AI option, the old manual noise reduction is still there and hasn't changed.

the Denoise takes up screen space and now i have to scroll up an down on every photo. RAW is for user processing, if you want auto corrections use jpg. they need to make the side menu more customizable.

hi jeff sorry i didn't explain correctly. i don't find the LUMINENCE to be as sensitive as the old menu. also DENOISE doesn't even work and takes up space on menu (by the way-it that customizable?) but WHY would they remove a manual control and put an auto one in RAW processing?
