How to export dng file from lightroom mobile (generated in CC, Denoise AI)

Hi all,

Yesterday I tried the Denoise function from lightroom CC and It created a new dng file (from a ARW Sony file). I went in lightroom mobile and I saw immediately that the quality of the photo was low even if in the details of the file It shows 45MB (from a 24MB image - Sony A6600). Then I tried to export the photo in JPEG - 100% from lightroom mobile but the finale image is very poor in quality.

How can i manage to Denoise photo from lightroom cc and then have It in High quality to export in lightroom mobile?

 

Thanks!

Ah yeah that's what I suggested you check above ;-). As already said, Classic simply will not sync full sized raw files (https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-ideas/p-should-be-able-to-sync-full-raw-files-to-the-cloud-not-just-smart-previews/idi-p/12248616 ) . To work around this, do your denoise in the cloud version on your desktop computer or use it to upload the full sized dng if you already did it in Classic and only synced a smart preview. Lightroom will recognize it already has an entry for the file and place the full image where it needs to go (in general). It is very unfortunate that Adobe chose to cripple Classic's cloud sync but it is what it is and unlikely to ever change.

"Lightroom CC" is a name that has not been in use anymore for a number of years. Do you mean you used Lightroom Classic for creating the denoised DNG, or Lightroom (also known as Lightroom desktop or Lightroom cloud)? If Lightroom Classic, then what is uploaded to the cloud is a smart preview, not the original image.

Yeah, i meant lightroom Classic, the One with Denoise AI on desktop.

So: 

- I've used Denoise AI and generated a new DNG File

- I did the Sync with Cloud (both app and desktop shows that everything Is in Sync) but on lightroom mobile i got the preview of the photo? How can i get the full photo of everything Is already in Sync?

You probably just need to wait for the denoised image to be completely uploaded to the cloud (check in the (i) button all the way at the bottom - it should say Original-DNG in the cloud entry and not something like smart preview or pending). Similarly on your device you need to see that the local copy is the Original-DNG file.
