Invoke AI denoise directly/via command line?
When I come home from an event, I often have several thousand RAW photos. My processing workflow goes like this:
* Load the raw files into a custom image-sorting app I built that organizes the photos by bursts, and lets me rapidly page through them and rate them 1 to 5 stars
* Drag the 5 star files all at once from my app onto Photoshop, which opens the RAW files in Adobe Camera Raw
* Do a first pass of adjusting levels in Camera Raw, and mark for delete the images that aren't working well (usually I keep most)
* Filter to the not-marked-for-delete images, select them all, and run them through the AI denoise at the default strength
* Wait.... and keep waiting... because denoise takes a long time...
* Final touchups on the images that need them in Photoshop, and export to JPEG
The new AI noise reduction is really magical. I've compared it side-by-side with Topaz and On1 on some of my own images, and it's head and shoulders above the competition. The problem is that it is slow.
I'd love it if I could just start the denoise process as soon as I mark an image as 5 stars in my sorting app. Just going through all the images can take an hour or two, and by the end I would have all or nearly all of the images ready as a denoised DNG for sending over to Camera Raw. It would cut as much as an hour off of my overall workflow.
Is there some way for me to call "denoise.exe --input image.raw --output image-denoised.dng"? Or any other way to automate that process?
