When using denoise and I have 5 stars selected for example, it goes back to no star ratings selected

[JaymeHalbritter]

It's a little confusing to explian, but let's say I have done my selctions and have 100 five start photos, I click on the 5 star so only 5 star photos are shown, I'll hit denoise on all 100, but as soon as the first one is done, it takes away "show me only 5 star ratings" and goes back to showing me all of the images.  2 star, 3 etc... just the general "show all."  Welllll....  I might have more to select, and I am going through more images with the "see only 5 star" selected, and the Bam, it pops me bakc to showing me all the images, and it's driving me crazy...  how to you put in a request to not have denoise pop you back to "show all" after an image is done being denoised?!  

Thanks!

And I hope that makes sense!

This is a FAQ and as designed. Filters are reset if you perform an action that adds a new image, such as Denoise. The reason is that it could be very confusing if you filtered on raw files, for example. The denoised DNG file is not a raw file, so it would be filtered out. That might give you the impression that denoising failed, and no new DNG was created (a complaint we often see here if people use a smart collection that displays only raw files).

If you want to keep the active filter, then lock it by clicking on the little padlock in the upper right corner of the filter bar in the grid.
