Batch Denoise not working

Question

After the new Lightroom update, I can’t apply Denoise to all selected photos at once. Even though I use “Sync” on all of them, after what looks like it’s running Denoise, the exported photos come out without it, and every photo shows the yellow “Need to update” button.

Just to clarify, at the very beginning before editing, I apply the Remove tool to all photos because of two burnt pixels. I know the correct order should be Denoise first and then the Remove tool, but since I crop the photos afterward, I wouldn’t be able to remove the burnt pixels from all of them.

Please help — right now I have to denoise every single photo individually, and it’s an extreme time-drain.

To be precise, here's how to handle your desired workflow:

1. Apply Remove to the burnt-out pixels in the photos.

2. Apply Denoise to the first photo.

3. Select all the other photos and do Sync Settings with "Denoise, Raw Details, Super Resolution" checked. Observe that for all the photos, the AI Edit Status button is yellow, and when you click on it, observe that LR is telling you that the Removes need updating:

4. Go to Library Grid view (not Loupe view).

5. With all the photos still selected, do the menu command Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings. The will update the Removes quickly. Observe that the AI Edit Status button is now grey on all the photos.
