P: Denoise on DNG from Ricoh GR-III x is missing Luminance Denoise-

Any updates on this matter? It has been quite a while. This is really frustrating. It would be nice to know if the engineers are working on it and if we can expect a solution. When? If not, I probably need to invest in an additional app. 

Hello,

I have a Ricoh GR III and Lr's AI noise reduction no longer works. Before it worked very well and for some time now, I have launched it, everything works normally, but there is no difference with the original image. Of course I do RAW (DNG).
I also have a Sony a9 and it works very well, it's just that the images from my Ricoh are buggy... do you have the same problem?

THANKS

David

Hallo zusammen,

ich habe eine Ricoh GR iii und das Problem mit Denoise AI mit LR besteht immer noch.

Bei ISO 500 wird das Bildrauschen durch das Entrauschen mit LR noch verstärkt.

Mit DxO funktioniert das Entrauschen gut.

Ich habe drei entwickelte jpg-Dateien eingefügt:

Foto 1: ohne Entrauschen
Foto 2: mit DxO entrauscht

Foto 3: mit LR "entrauscht"

Wie weit ist denn die Problemlösung gediehen?

If the de-bayering information is correct, there would be no retroactive solution for Ricoh GR III/IIIx photos already taken. That would indeed be a bummer. I am wondering, though, if maybe Adobe could consider a different approach? I tested DxO PureRAW which seems to use similar technologies. It is, however, able to de-noise Ricoh GR III/IIIx files. And it handles them very well. 

The "raw" DNG on the GRIII series is already de-bayered (or "de-mosaiced" like a TIFF), and Adobe's AI Denoise seems to need the Bayer matrix data intact to work.

I think it's unlikely Ricoh is going to update the GRIIIs to add another RAW output option, but who knows.

Yeah, still not fixed in the latest LR classic 13.0.2. I want to try contacting Ricoh GR support by email but seems there no such contact method. Anyone knows if we GR users can notify Ricoh about this?

Lightroom Classic 13.0.2 Update ... Unfortunately, still no fix.

I'm running macOS Sonoma 14.1.1, LR Classic 13.0.1, Camera Raw 16.0, Ricoh GR III x firmware V1.31. Denoise AI is not doing anything to the .dng files. I really hope this gets fixed!

Sorry not fixed, my mistake.

Fixed in LR 13  😃
