Issues and Questions Regarding New Denoise Functions and Export in Lightroom Classic

Hello Adobe Community,

I want to describe my problems here and hope to get help with the latest changes in Lightroom Classic concerning the Denoise, Raw Details, and Super Resolution functions and related export issues.

Previously, the Denoise function worked excellently, combining smart noise reduction and sharpening (pic 1). Now, as far as I understand, these two options have become separate. Moreover, Denoise simply "blurs" the image. With Raw Details - no effect. And with Super Resolution, it's impossible to adjust the degree of its application to improve quality – there are no sliders or parameters to control the effect; and after application, there is no difference. And Denoise and Super Resolution cannot be applied simultaneously, which is very inconvenient (pic 2).

In addition to this, new functions like Denoise and Raw Details are extremely unstable. My computer (which is quite powerful) simply can't handle them. I tried exporting 7 photos after applying these effects, and Lightroom just freezes. The program indicates that the export has started, but there's no progress, and the process doesn't move (pic 3).

I've restarted the program multiple times, but the problem persists. Despite having GPU acceleration enabled for export, and Lightroom consuming a significant portion of my CPU and Memory resources (pic 4), the export still doesn't happen.

This makes my work practically impossible. I'd like to understand if these are bugs or if I'm using something incorrectly. Is there a way to adjust the Denoise intensity now? And why does exporting become impossible after applying these functions?

It would be great if they returned it to how it was before...

I would appreciate any help or explanations.

Thank you!

How can I go back to a previous version of Lightroom Classic that has the Denoise functions before the changes made it unusable ?

Reinstall LrC 14.3, and never upgrade.

Please, Please return the Denoise function to how it was.  It was a very important part of my work with low light images and now the last few weeks I can't use it at all.

This completely changes what I can do with Lightroom Classic and limits my ability to use high ISO settings.

@yury_6478 It has never, ver been possible to apply both Denoise and SuperRes on the same file:
The workaround is to export with Denoise applied, so bake in the data, then do SuperRes...bu tdoing both, non destructively, is impossible for now.

Please post you system info, do:

Help > System Info... 

 

Do not do "Copy" and paste the info in your reply here,  it only makes the reply needlessly long. 

Choose "Save As..." and save the info on your desktop and then attach the file here so we can read it comfortably.
