P: Paste settings from previous Denoises again

You also can't Auto Sync changes in the Denoise amount slider without recalculating Denoise:

Probably the same underlying cause.

Yes, same issue here.
My workflow has become about 5 times slower since the new update. I'm currently considering reverting to an older version of Lightroom to maintain efficiency.

I really hope the Adobe team hears this feedback – the current Enhance (denoise) process is just not practical for high-volume workflows.

Hi @ondrejb47127146,

Thanks for bringing this up. I understand how frustrating this behavior can be when working with high-ISO images and trying to streamline your workflow.

When you use “Paste Settings from Previous”, Lightroom automatically includes all settings from the previously selected image, including Denoise. If the new image has not yet been through Denoise, Lightroom will trigger the AI Denoise process again, which takes time, especially across multiple files.

Currently, there’s no built-in way to exclude Denoise from “Paste from Previous.” It’s designed to apply all adjustments as-is from the previous image.

To avoid unnecessary reprocessing and speed up your workflow, I recommend this method:
 1. Use “Paste from Previous” only when the previous image has not been denoise
This avoids unintentionally triggering Denoise again.
 2. For already denoised images, use the manual copy & paste workflow:
 • Select the source image.
 • Use Copy Settings and uncheck “Denoise” from the settings.

 • Select one or more target images.
 • Use Paste Settings.

This allows you to batch-apply edits while skipping Denoise on images where it’s already done.

I hope this clarifies and helps you!

Best,
