Question

Previews don't update and copy-paste doesn't work right...

I use the AI denoise feature every day. I really loved it since it was introduced last year.

The new version has a non destructive way of working and it saves disk space by not creating a big DNG file and you can tweak it after the process. In theory everythig is supposed to speed up your work flow but it doesn't...

You can't select multiple images and denoise  them. You have to do one by one which is slower and tedious.. I found a workaround though: process the denoise in one image, copy the settings and paste to multiple images. It's ok, but barely because the new copy-paste is a pain... It doesn't work well most of the time. Previews don't update so you don't know if the paste command is complete. You have to go back and forth between selected images to see the updated preview. Bad!

Also the new yellow "update" button that shows when something needs to be updated should be automatic. Why do you have to manually select it and run it. It's another step to add to each image since you can't do multiple yellow updates...

I think I like the previous version better. Even having a newly created DNG it was useful to be able to sort images by DNG type and get them to show quickly

I hope they fix these bugs soon... The copy and paste not updating is a real pain for me.

Hey, @ppdix. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. We appreciate the feedback! 

 

Here is a thread where you can add your upvote in favor of bringing back the ability of Enhance to create a DNG: https://adobe.ly/3ImqRVV

 

For the Copy-paste issues, I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Lightroom by going to Help > System info, copying and pasting it into a text document, Uploading It, and attaching it here. 

 

Does Copy-paste work with smaller batches of images? Do you notice any errors? If it freezes, you can leave it for a couple of hours or even overnight. 

 

Awaiting your response. Thanks!
