When copying pictures to "smart collection" i get two copies of each, one DNG and one ARW. I have used Denoise, so I understand why I have two files, but I only want to move DNG to "smart collection". Can anyone guide me?

You don't, and not possible, to manually add (by Drag&Drop) photos to a 'Smart Collection', so you don't 'copy' photos to a Smart Collection.

A Smart Collection is a list that shows you photos that it finds (automatically) based on the search criteria defined in the SC. If you only want DNGs in the SC then you need to edit the SC [RIght-Click]>[Edit Smart Collection...] with your wanted criteria.

Example-

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
