Using Denoise saves 2 photos and includes the noisy photo in links

Using the new Denoise in Lightroom, how do I delete the un-denoise photo behind the edited denoise photo so it doesn't send in the photo links to my clients

Thanks!

I don't think you want to delete it. If you do that, you do not have a path back to your original RAW, should you wish to try other edits or other noise reductions. Anyway, the better solution is just to not send the links to the original RAW ... but we can't advise because we don't know how you are creating and sending links, and we don't even know what software you are using.

What software are you talking about, Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)? How are you creating and sending links?

That's right. The denoised file is demosaiced, encoded into three RGB channels instead of one grayscale. So it's no longer a "genuine" raw file.

If you absolutely must delete one, delete the denoised one. That can be repeated, but not the other way round.

I believe you are talking about the fact that de denoised DNG and the original are stacked. You do not have to stack the denoised photo and the original, however. That's an option in the denoise dialog.
