Lightroom Classic 12.4 Mac-Noise Deduction not working

[davidsdale]

Good day,

I got the very latest Lightroom Classic 12.4 as well updated.

My O/S is Mac Mini late 2014 MacOS Monterey

The new tool/function Noise Reduction is not working, it is not active.

Error Message: "Denoise is not currently compatable with this photo format"

My Camera Specs are, Canon 5D M3 photo format CR2

Please advise what to do, I thank you.

There are "compressed RAW" files (which aren't truly RAW) that can be generated from Canon cameras, sometimes called sRAW or mRAW. These currently cannot be run through the new Denoise tool.

See https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2023/04/18/denoise-demystified. Quote: "Denoise is currently supported only for Bayer and X-Trans mosaic raw files, but we’re looking into ways to support other photo formats in the future."
