Question

I exported my enhanced DNG files to jpg and I have a problem

Hi!

I'm new to lightroom and editing in general, I used denoise on RAW files which created DNG files which I then exported to create JPG files, the issue is that the image that appears is the original image (not denoised) and the denoised version only appears when I click on the image (and keep the touchpad in a clicked position). I am using a Mac, how do I just access the denoised file?

(See images for example of how the file appears vs the enhanced version appearing when clicked)

Hey, @Asia33585726dpiv. Welcome to the Lightroom community. I'll help you figure this out.

 

When you use Enhance > Denoise, it does not replace the original file, the denoise output is stacked, and a small number appears in the filmstrip & grid, representing the stacked status of the images you denoise. 

You can export by selecting the denoised output now.

 

Check the attached GIF and let me know if it helps.

Thanks!

Hi, I tried doing what you said to do and chose the denoised output. But still once it has exported as a jpeg it is grainy again. It only works when I export at a dng file
