Noise reduction

[R. K.-B.]

Hi!

After reducing the noise in a photo,

how do I revert to the original photo?

Thanks

Which version of Lightroom do you use? 

Since version 14.4 is non destructive like other settings. In the former versions Denoising creates a seperate .DNG file. You can go back to the corresponding RAW file but all settings tht have done after denoising will be lost in this case.

Same way you would change any "slider", set it back to zero; or uncheck the Denoise box; or pick the state in History before noise reduction; or hit the Reset button; or probably a bunch of other ways that I can't think of right now.

Assuming that you're running version 14.4 or later –

to revert to the original photo, click on any previous step in the History panel.
