P: How do I batch edit Denoise (June Update) (LrC 14.4 & LrD 8.4)

La nuova versione non permette di regolare l'intensità del denoise se non in un secondo passo. Ciò richiede il doppio del tempo impiegato nella versione precedente. Un NOGO assoluto. Anzichè migliorare non avete fatto altro che peggiorare il tutto. Vi prego di ripristinare la vecchia versione, almeno per quanto riguarda il denoise di più fotogrammi contemporaneamente.

"Detail" in LRC has changed, is this an upgrade or an internal error. No more Denoise button, no more enhanced, no more newly created "enhanced NR.dng". I was using LRC for years and was really happy with the setup...LOL. was a change necessary?

I know this is an older thread sorry for bringing it back up to the top. However, LRC has been updated and the denoise feature has moved under Develop. How do we do batch processing now for denoise?

Hi Adobe!

First of all, I want to say thank you for the non-destructive Enhance/Denoise update in Lightroom 8.4 - it’s a great idea and definitely useful for keeping file management simple.

That said, I’m really missing the ability to batch process images using the Enhance features like Denoise or Super Resolution. In previous versions, I could select multiple RAW files and apply these enhancements all at once. Now, having to manually enable it photo by photo through the Detail panel is significantly slowing down my workflow, especially when working with large sets of images.

Copying and pasting settings works to some extent, but it’s not as efficient or reliable as proper batch support. It would be amazing to have both options: the new non-destructive workflow and the possibility to batch apply Enhance across multiple photos — even if that means creating DNGs again.

Hope this is something you can consider bringing back. Thanks for listening!

Best regards,
Tiago

I did some batch Denoise testing (timing) in LrC 14.3.1 and 14.4 using the same set of NEF photos (from my Nikon D750).

Time to Denoise 100 photos:

LrC 14.3.1 took 21m 14.26s = 1274.26s or 12.7426s per photo

LrC 14.4 took 18m 5.63s = 1085.63s or 10.8563s per photo

So I now know which Denoise method is faster, on my PC at least. Roughly 15% faster.

However, this doesn't help the fact that LrC 14.4 is locked up while doing any Enhance (or for that matter setting Adaptive Color) or that adjusting the Denoise Amount slider for a selection of more than one photo is a complete disaster (extremely bad code design - BUG). These issues need to be addressed promptly.

How do I go back to the previous version of LR?  I’ll take a separate DNG vs 10X lost time due to the new "non-destructive enhance / denoise enhancement" in Version 8.4.  This is not ready for primetime.  It takes 2 hours to do 10 minutes worth of work.  "Denoising" the old way took 30 seconds max and that was ONE TIME!  The old denpoising has been traded for continuously refreshing / updating "AI Settings".  Exporting photos and you get a cryptic message that a photo “MAY” be exported down-res, which really means AI wasn’t refreshed prior to export.  And LR now locks up a lot and I have to KILL -7 (Force Quit).   Did a product manage think the benefits of not having to deal with a separate DNG was that big of a deal?  AND that the trade-off was going to be worth it?  I just deleted the RAW after running denoise and keep the DNG. Boom, problem solved. This tradeoff is BRUTAL and is not realistic. The application is LOCKED during an AI Refresh that takes FOREVER.  I’m running a MBP Apple M2 Max with 12 Cores, 38 GPU Cores, 96 GB Memory 8 TB eMLC SSD.   Refreshing “AI Settings” is a SERIAL process only?  And the refresh has to be initiated by the user ONE PHOTO AT A TIME and wait for iot to complete before moving on to the next photo?  Is there a way to do a multiselect in the square grid layout (like there was many other functions) such that more than a single photo’s AI settings be refreshed?  Is there a way to batch process refreshing “AI Settings” across many photos?

I’m extremely frustrated with the recent change that removed the ability to apply the Denoise AI feature to multiple photos at the same time in Lightroom Classic. This has seriously disrupted my workflow. 

This update adds hours to my editing process and makes it much harder to deliver work on time.

Please reconsider this change and bring back the ability to apply Denoise to multiple images simultaneously. This feature was crucial for many of us who rely on Lightroom Classic for professional work.

Hello.

Avec la nouvelle mise à jour de Lightroom le débruitage par lot ne fonctionne plus, y a t-il une solution à ça svp?

Merci

Hello,

I have seen the recent update of Lightroom Classic and already found an issue.  With the denoise feature, I see that the "denoise all" button was removed.  Now when I "select all" photos and click denoise, it will only apply to the specific photo instead of all.  This is causing extra time to be wasted with the editing process going one by one without the denoise all button.  Can this please be resolved?

[Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules. A ‘bug’ is not just a fancy word for any software problem! It’s defined as a coding error that makes the application behave in a way that was not intended by the developer.]

I have the following weird problem with regards to batch denoise function since the latest update: I am following the workflow of denoising one picture, then copy/pasting the edit settings to several other pictures I want to denoise. Everything looks like it is working normally during processing, but at the end the denoised pictures look like several pictures have been combined during the process (layers of objects from different pictures appear like pasted into the processed one) and the colors are completely off. An error message tells me to "update AI settings" on every single "denoised" picture and after doing so by clicking on ok processing starts again and everything looks fine afterwards for that picture. No batch processing is possible this way because I end up fixing each single picture individually anyways afterwards, aboslutely anyoing..

Anyone knows what is happening here and how to fix it?
