LR doesn't save the status of the denoise process.

[Lukas26172756td8t]

My LR has been updated automatically in my MacOs. It seems that denoise AI disappeared, instead Adobe added new (not intuitive) option in "detail" section. Ok, I figured it out after about 30 min (as I said, it is not intuitive). The problem is, LR doesn't save the status of the denoise process. In old way, LR created dng file (denoised), and LR known which photo was processed. Now, LR doesn't know anything. When my denoise for +300 photos has been drastically stopped (some error or whatever), when pasting settings again, it's starting from the beginning! Its feature or bug? Is it possible to work with old flow?

The problem is, LR doesn't save the status of the denoise process.

If you are talking about Lightroom Classic, it does save the status. The denoise action appears in the History Panel of the Develop Module, and if you turn on this feature, it adds a keyword "Enhanced" (I think, I am not at home now so maybe it adds some other keyword). And of course, it creates a denoised photo.

When my denoise for +300 photos has been drastically stopped (some error or whatever), when pasting settings again, it's starting from the beginning!

So don't paste settings to photos which have the "Enhanced" keyword. Only select photos that don't have that keyword.

How do i know which photos where processed or not?

Finding which images that have enhanced processing is relatively easy. Adobe added new filters and smart collections for each of the three enhanced options. I've attached 2 screenshots that should help you find how to use these.

[Lukas26172756td8t]

There is no option develop in filter section. As I said, it's not intuitive. Don't understand Why Adobre changed it to something more complicated

This is the wrong menu. The menu you want (that Ian Lyons was showing) is in the Filter Bar, click on Metadata, and then click "Date" or any other column header and then that menu will appear (See the first graphic here https://photographylife.com/how-to-use-the-filter-bar-in-lightroom).

I don't mind if they changed the user interface, that's usually a good thing that allows more powerful workflow; but they should give us more explanation of where things are now, and that the Enhanced keyword is not longer in use (if indeed that is the change).

Still no filters in this menu. I'm losing my mind, because I can't work.

Wrong place, wrong menu. I described how to get to the right menu in my post above. I linked to a photo where you click on Metadata, then point your mouse at the word Date (or any other column header) and you will see the menu.

[Lukas26172756td8t]

Sorry, I don't understand 😕 I'm exactly at the place where you pointed.

[Lukas26172756td8t]

Ok, found this menu lol

[Lukas26172756td8t]

But still don't understand how to filter photos which has NOT denoise.

[Lukas26172756td8t]

Got it. Not intuitive for denoise AI. Thanks all for helping me. What a pity we have to struggle with new UI.

If you select "Has Denoise" it should then say Yes or No

By keyword

I believe the option to include the 'Enhance' keyword was removed in 14.4

I'll have to check when I get home. I thought I had seen the keyword just a day or two ago on newly de-noised photos with LrC 14.4. I cannot find this change mentioned on any Adobe web site, or at Lightroomqueen.com.

It was a late change that may not have been documented by Adobe.

The keyword was the last item in the File Handling tab of Preferences. The heading was 'Keywords'. The same tab and position in 14.4 is occupied by 'Remember the last selection from source during the session'. The heading now being 'File Selection'. 

FWIW, I covered the new option in my overview of 14.4, but not the omission of the keyword.

So, I am home now and I see that this keyword no longer appears on newly denoised photos. However the solutions from Ian Lyons do work. Hey Adobe, why don't you document these changes for the benefit of us users? I see that Ian said it was a "late change", but speaking again to Adobe, that isn't a valid excuse for not documenting things.
