AI Denoise Missing or Not Working After Latest Lightroom Classic Update

[kevinm62798992]

So I just did the most recent update for Lightroom Classic through CC. When I opened it I noticed the AI Denoise option has been replaced. When I selected the denoise option the following errors happened in the pictures attached. Any ideas to fix this?

Hey @kevinm62798992,

Welcome to the Lightroom Classic community! I’d be happy to help troubleshoot the issue and get you back on track. To start, may I ask if the files you’re working with are still properly linked? As a next step, try creating a new catalog and running through the same workflow using the same image. This can help us determine if the issue is catalog-specific. Let me know how it goes!

they are properly linked. need a couple hours and i will give the new
catalog a go

[kevinm62798992]

So I tried a new catalog and had no issues but are you now saying I need to make a new catalog and update it. I tried uploading one of my folders and all of my images do not have any of my editing done to them. If i  have to re edit my photos I will cancle Adobe tomorrow. I wish I never did the update 

[kevinm62798992]

Can you explain why this happens with my old catalog but not the new tester one I made. I really do not want to make a new catalog and have to re edit all of my pictures. All I want is to unistall this upgrade if I can and go back to the old AI Denoise way. Please help

I am having this exact same issue with MacBook. I edit from a solid-state hard drive and these are the  Errors that I'm getting I have an M3 MacBook and I shoot Sony so the files are aRW which is Sonys raw

So now when I do the denoise since the AI Denoise is gone I get these errors with my photos, Can I uninstall the update? or how does this get fixed. This has stopped my editing all together

@kevinm62798992 Thanks for reaching out to us. We'll investigate why the AI Denoise gets disabled.

Following steps refresh the UI states of the Enhance features ( Denoise, Raw Details & Super Resolution ) . Can you please try them out once:
- Press Alt key

- Observe that visibility icon at the left end of "Detail" panel header is replaced with a switch icon.

- Now click on the switch icon ( with Alt key pressed ).

- Observe that the Enhance features are now in grayed out state.

- Now click on the switch icon again ( with Alt key pressed ). This should enable the features.

@kristoffer_8215Lightroom Classic version 14.5 was released recently. Could you update to the latest version and check if the Denoise issue still occurs ?

[kristoffer_8215]

Hello i downloaded the new update as you suggested and i also followed Adobe’s tip about switching off and on the little switch in that turns from the eye icon to a switch by holding the alt key down when moving the switch but so far no luck i even started lightroom cc with the alt key pressed down

The 'fix' does not work. I may have to find a different editing program as Lightrooom CC doesn't work as well. My photos are still noisy after I denoise them and download them to my photos. I loved the AI Denoise, but now I am frustrated and have to use another program to denoise them.  Please bring it back. It was what I loved the most with Lightroom as I have a Mirrorless camera which can make photos noisy at times.

I also did all of this and it did not work . Getting ready to cancel and find new editing software.

After the latest Lightroom Classic update, the AI Denoise tool may change or not work right. This can happen if your graphics card is not supported or needs a driver update. Try updating your GPU drivers and restart Lightroom. Make sure your system meets the new update's needs.

this is rubbish, the previous function was great and now just doesnt work - why did you change it as what was the point and why dont you give users the option. Try doing some proper testing before relaeasing these aweful updates

Hi there,

My denoise is definitly not working whereas it was a month or so ago and it looks different. Can you please tell me how to update my GPU drivers please?

Hi,

I have updated to 14.5 version and it doesn't make any difference. The denoise function is making no difference at all. It used to be so good. Is there any way I can go back to the prvious version of it? Thank you.
