Question

Facedetection is on when using Denoise!

Hi.

I am pretty new to LrC - and I have run into this odd problem!

I have three pictures shot in a snowstorm. When I push Denoise on a random photo of those three, the 'slider' (I do not know what it is called in English) up in the left corner stops where you can see it on the picture below. It has not stopped as such, it 'just' takes hours to finish! It's only these three pics - none of all the others do that. The photos are shot with a Sony a7IV and they are all about 29-33 Mb in size.

I installed my brand new ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 DUAL EVO D6 OC - 12GB GDDR6 this afternoon, and was SO happy to see that denoising took about 10 seconds to render a photo - while my old card took 3-5 minutes for the same rendering.

But something is wrong with these three photos when it comes to Denoising.

Can someone help me to disable the Facedetection as it says something like "Indexing 1175 pictures" the first time I pushed the Denoise button on one of these three photos (unfortunately I forgot to take a screendump then)?

Have a nice evening 🙂

Face detection should pause indefinitely when you click the pause button:

 

What happens when you do that?

Oh yes it does - that is great 🙂
But is there a way to disable is permanently? I'm really a rookie, and I cannot see that I will need the face detection in LrC in the near future - I have for the same reason disabled it in my camera.

But again, this is great - and I can live with that 😉

I have the "automatically detect faces in all photos" in Catalog settings unchecked. That works for me, though you can still restart is by pressing the  "pause" button beside the identity plate.
