P: Denoise AI and Pentax K3 MKIII DNG files - not working

[thix2112]

I'm not seeing any noise reduction using Denoise AI on Pentax K3iii DNG files in Lightroom Classic v12.3. Any future solution to this issue?

Thanks

Tom

I gave up.

Sigh... it's already Oct 2024 and in the latest Oct update for LRC, denoise is still not working for the Ricoh GR3x. I'm considering switching over to the newly released DxO Photolab 8 or using DxO PureRaw 4. I used the trial version and the denoising effect is very good (for my purpose/camera).

I feel like Ricoh should be responsible for the fix, or at least let us know its plan on whether or not this will be fixed at all. The Pentax KP was probably the first camera with the so-called accelerator unit, which baked noise reduction into the raw file, and that camera has been discontinued already and still not fixed by Ricoh. I hope Ricoh is still working on a fix, considering this AI denoise is relatively a new thing. At the very least, Ricoh could give an announcement on whether this can be fixed through a firmware update. The current workaround I have is to shoot at ISO 100 at all times and pull the exposure and denoise in Lightroom.

W Lightroom Classic 14.1 nadal nie działa odszumianie AI dla plików Pentax 😞

I've given up waiting. Moved to On1 NoNoise AI in On1 Photo Raw. Works pretty good. My workflow is still with Lightroom Classic, but if I need to improve noise processing I jump over to On1. Seems to work better than DXO.

So, since this issue hasn't been resolved for almost 2 years now... any update on the status? Is this still being worked on or has Adobe abandoned Pentax-users?

[imontv08]

@thix2112 Thanks for the info. So there IS software where AI denoise works with modern Pentax cameras? Good to know.

[thix2112]

Denoise appears to work on some Pentax cameras, just not all models. 

[imontv08]

@thix2112I know. It seems like only the models with the built-in "accelerator chip" are affected.

Ale nie po to płace za Adobe i teraz w dodatku bedzie trzba płacic wiecej zeby kupowac inną aplikacje do odszumiania.

Skoro płacimy za Pakiet adobe to taka funkcja powinna działać a nie ze 2 lata nic sie nie dzieje. Wiem ze Pentax to nizowy aparat ale sporo ludzi z niego korzysta i fajnie jak by to odszumianie działało na pliki z pentaxa. Jak tu widac na forum sporo ludzi czeka na poprawienie tej funkcji.

Concur. I hear your frustration

Issue: AI Noise Reduction does not work with DNG files generated by Pentax K3 III.

Camera Raw version: 17.1

OS and version: Windows 11 24H2 and macOS 15 Sequoia

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a DNG file generated by the Pentax K3 III in Camera Raw.
2. Navigate to the "Detail" panel and enable "AI Noise Reduction."

Expected result:
AI Noise Reduction should process the DNG file and reduce noise as intended.

Actual result:
The AI Noise Reduction function does not apply any visible effect to the DNG file.

It's 2025... AI denoise in Lightroom still does nothing with Pentax files. Neither K-1 II, nor K-3 III. It's so frustrating and disappointing.

Adobe - hello!

[andrzejv90126968]

Ciekawe czy teraz w Lutym poprawią aplikacje i bedzie dzaiłać juz odszumianie

[Marcin243426031vdz]

A jest jakaś zapowiedź aktualizacji? Czy to tylko pobożne życzenia? Problem jest ogromny dla użytkowników Pentaxa. To wręcz skłania do zmiany systemu.

Zacząłem używać DXO PureRaw4. Działa bardzo dobrze, wręcz rewelacyjnie - chociaż mam wrażenie, że dla pobranych z sieci przykładowych plików z Canona R5 II czy Leica SL3 odszumianie AI Denoise w Lightroomie jest minimalnie lepsze. Ale ciężko to

porównać dla zupełnie różnych plików. W każdym razie Adobe całkowicie ignoruje uzytkownikow Pentaxa - jest to absolutnie skandaliczne, bo nawet nie raczą merytorycznie odnieść się do problemu, który jest poważny. 

[marek_6770]

I just wonder why I am paying for this? Yes, I am frustrated but I think I have right to be.

My photo buddy uses Canon, I use K3 III, which is top of the line APS-C from Pentax, still great camera - and I can only wonder why the hell denoising introdusec more noise in my images.

I think canceling subscription is the only thing that makes sense, if Adobe treats its clients this way.
