Hello,
in the latest version of Lightroom Classic, merging of original files and files de-noised by AI has appeared. However, I store the two versions separately, on different storage and with different compression. How can I now store the DNG only in the enhanced version?

How can I now store the DNG only in the enhanced version?

By @Jana Jarosu

What do you mean exactly with this? Do you like only stored the denoised DMG in the catalog?

If yes, the easiest way is to delete the original file from the catalog.

If I'm wrong, please describe your workflow more detailed.

This is a new AI enhancement feature in version 14.4, see screenshot above (unfortunately it's not listed on the Adobe website yet, there are only notes for version 14.3). Until version 14.3, AI de-noising was done by creating a separate file in the same directory, now the enhanced version is now saved in the same DNG file, which is then twice the size. It seems that in 14.4 it is no longer possible to save separate DNGs in the original and enhanced versions, but maybe I missed something.
For example, a description of the new feature is here: https://1url.cz/8JHMS (Facebook)

I went back to the previous version, but according to CC Desktop it is version 14.4. The merge is also announced in the “What's New” listing, see screenshot.
If a more accurate version number is needed, I can upgrade again.
