Hi

I'm using Denoise AI in the Lightroom Classic as well as in the Cloud app. I noticed that it takes longer to generate a DNG file. Is there something I have to tweak Lightroom (classic) settings on Mac? Please let me know. Thanks.

Longer than what?

 

If you mean that Denoise is slow, there is no setting to tweak; instead you need a newer and more powerful graphics card (also called GPU)

Indeed, on my 6-1/2 year old Dell desktop with an outdated GPU, Denoise was taking 15 minutes or more - I just had to go away and do something else while it worked. My new Dell desktop with more RAM and the latest GPU does it in about 15 seconds!

Hi,

I'm looking for advice if I could sync Denoise function and apply it to batch of images from the same series. For example when creating a timelaps video I export 300+ images with the same settings. Should I end up with hundreds of DNG files, set manually one by one or there is another way to do that? Thanx!

You can select a batch of files in LrC grid, choose Enhance > Denoise, adjust the Amount slider of previewed file to taste, then tap the the Enhance X Images button as shown on attached screenshot.

 

Note that denoising 300 files in one batch will likely bring your system to a standstill, if not worse. Best you break process down into much smaller batches (e.g. 20 files).

Is there anyway to prevent it from adding to the filename on the DNG export?  I need to FTP files with original file names on the fly and having to export then rename back to original name, then FTP is cumbersome and has me using manual NR instead when I am on a deadline.  - Thank you!

Quan tracto una imatge amb Denoise AI al Lightroom, per veure la imatge millorada he de tancar i tornat a obrir el programa. Algú em pot dir com solucionar-ho. Em passa el mateix quan importo imatges noves desde la targeta SD. No me les mostra com a última importació fins que no he tancat i tornat a obrir Lightroom.

Imagine this would work on LR mobile to denoise smartphone raws.
