P: How do I batch edit Denoise (June Update) (LrC 14.4 & LrD 8.4)

[Billeba]

Lightroom Classic versjon: 14.4 
Operativsystem: Mac OS 15

As of this new version I am not able to denoise a batch of photos, only individual ones. Can't find any guidance as to how this can be fixed. Hope you can help me, thanks.

What do you mean by 'export'?

[Chelsea23674501dz7h]

You can't be serious...

[Ian Lyons]

I believe the question was genuine. Some users use the term 'export' when referring to 'Edit in Photoshop' or a third party application.

Are you Mac or Windows? 

I use Mac and can batch exxport batched denoised files without issue.

A copy of your System Info would also be helpful to us. This can be obtained via the LrC Help > System Info menu item. You can use the Copy button at top right corner of the System Info dialog to capture the info, then paste into your reply

@Chelsea23674501dz7h 

Yes, I am serious. I can batch Export Denoised photos without any problem, i.e. File > Export...

I don't have to Export Denoised photos one by one.

If this isn't what you meant by "export", then you will have to explain what it is.

Also, my own testing indicates that that new non destructive Denoise is about 15% faster than the previous Denoise DNG generation and certainly does not take twice as long, unless you change the Denoise Amount slider for the selection. This triggers a batch AI Update again making the process twice as long, but this is a bug and shouldn't happen.

I called them and it seems it's a driver issue. They said to update my NVIDIA drivers which I did, but it didn't immediately help so I just went back to the previous version. Will test it when I don't have thousands of pictures to denoise...

Okay, solved this. You can paste it in batch form but after you copy the denoise setting from the first photo, click on the library view, then shift select all the photos you want to paste to, once they are selected then go up to photo, click develep settings, then hit paste settings, then it will work. I don't know why it must be from the library menu but it worled that way.

@colby30312130wkgk 

That's one way to paste to a selection.

The new Denoise is a setting, just like Exposure or Contrast. Yes, it stops users from continuing to work, which is very bad when large numbers of photos are involved; applying the Denoise Amount to a selection is also bad and looks like a bug. Both issues demonstrate a very poorly thought out design.

For everyone complaining here about not being able to apply the Denoise setting to a selection of photos in Develop, try learning how to use Lightroom Classic.

How did any of those posting here ever paste anything to a selection of photos? The ignorance shown here, and in other related threads, by photographers at all levels is astounding.

This new way is the biggeat time wasting update I have ever seen it constantly wants to update AI settings. There has to be a faster easier program out there to edit raw photos. 

[RyoIshikawa]

Oh my Mac, when I leave the computer and the screen goes to sleep, all denoising processing stops.. why is that? I have to keep my screen awake for LrC to keep working on batch denoising images.

[Brittney5C3C]

With the new update, I like the new Denoise feature but now I can't seem to find out to batch enhance multiple photos (right click > Enhance) at the same time. I've been having to select Denoise on each photo which is super inconvenient. Is there a new way to do this or did Adobe get rid of that feature? This is Lightroom not the LR Classic program. 

[Brittney5C3C]

This is Version 8.4 I'm using currently

[Janusz28946928vadj]

I use noise reduction function in Lightroom Classic (not manual but AI). But in recent version it can be applied only to one photo at a time - or at least I cannot find a way. It was possible to do it in previous versions, I just marked a series of photos and checked raw reduction. No it works only for one pehoto. How to apply it to many photos at once?

[Rob_Raines91]

After updating to the latest update, my denoise worked perfectly in lightroom classic. now it will not work at all. I click the denoise button, it starts processing, then stops without finishing. i go to reclick the denoise box, and it makes a check and then takes it away immediately. when it was working, when i checked denoise, it would also check raw details. it does not do this anymore. i can click raw details first, and then denoise and it will process to reveals the slider, but it doesn't actually change the photo's noise level.

Hi, thanks for reaching out, and we're sorry about the trouble! 

Please go to the Help menu in Lightroom Classic, then System Info, and copy the text. You can share the info with us by either pasting it as a reply here or in a text file and sharing the file with us. 

What format are the images in? Did you start experiencing this behavior after any specific change to the system? 

You can try to reset the preferences of Lightroom using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/3IaEfMF

Thanks,
Nikunj

I am having the exact same problem as Rob. The denoise buttons now look different and there is the raw details now which i did not have before. I am unable to select how much denoise to apply (it is stuck on 50) and then after attempting to denoise, i get an error message. 

[Noel Orridge]

Hi @Robert28836164za6t, Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the community! 

As asked by Nikunj, could you please share your System information? Also, does this happen with specific images or all of them? Could you please share more details of your workflow, including how and what exactly you are applying denoise to? Also, please share the exact error message. Please share relevant screenshots along with your response.

While we wait, you can try resetting your preferences like Nikunj has suggested. You can also check out the correct answer in this thread: Solved: Denoise not completing in version 14.3 - Adobe Product Community - 15292418

Let us know how it goes!

Cheers!

Hi,

I am using Windows 11 home version.

I have 32GB RAM and a 500 GB hard drive.

The issue is happening with all my images.

Typically, I use the following work flow

Crop
Set white balance
Set temp for global image
Do noise reduction ( I use when ISO > 300)
Use generative AI (if needed)
Masking

I have used Lightroom Classic on this computer for a long time and never had a problem until now.

I recently bought a laptop as I was going on a photo trip and wanted to be able to edit in the field.

I first noticed the issue on the new laptop. I thought it may just be something I did wrong with setting up the laptop.

However, when I got home, I discovered the same problem when using Lightroom Classic on my desktop.

The components of the "Detail" section is different. Previously there just was "denoise". Now there are boxes for "Raw Details" and "Super Resolution".

The error message says "an internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index a nil value"

Also, triangles with exclamation points inside display for "denoise", "Raw Details" and "Super Resolution". When I click on the triangle, it says "image not loaded"

Below is a screen shot of the tool bar. As you may be able to see, the slider for denoise is stuck at 50%

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Bob

I used to be able to go to Grid View and apply the denoise effect to every picture I selected, but I can't anymore. Did it get removed in an update? 

[Julio33592672cxos]

Before, I could apply the AI denoise option to several photos at once by right-clicking and selecting Enhance, but with the new update I don’t know how to do it."

[Kevin21847195h63q]

Has this been removed? I used to use this feature often, now it seems it's been shifted into the Edit settings, and I can no longer Batch DeNoise.

How does this help if I'm using Lr (not LrC)?

You CAN NOT simply copy the "Detail" settings with the Noise Reduction stuff as Lr will create a new DNG out of - in my case - the CR2 file.

You should ask your question in the LIghtroom (ecosystem) forum and not in the Lightroom Classic forum.

[dawid.w]

Well, yeah... Just purchased another year of Adobes photo bundle (Lr, LrC, Ps + 1TB) just to encounter this...

Tell me, Adobe, Y U DO DIS to us?

[Maurizio33664930f4up]

I have a question about LRC version 14.4 regarding noise reduction. 
Up until the previous version, you could enable noise reduction on multiple photo selections, 
but now I see I can only enable it for one photo at a time. 
Is there a solution?

Thanks for your reply
