P: Allow ability to adjust Denoise slider value prior to Denoise running (LrC)

In both Lightroom and ACR, the Denoise amount cannot be adjusted before applying it. This is a regression from the previous preview UI where the amount could be changed before applying Denoise.

 

This means that Denoise must be applied before changes are possible, and the result must be recalculated if a change IS made. This is very, very poor behavior and a huge waste of time for anyone using (for example) different cameras or ISO settings which may need different Denoise amounts. This is made worse because it appears that Denoise amount always starts at 50 and doesn't use the previous setting (unless that can be changed.)

 

It also appears that this only happens if multiple files are selected, and the most selected file is NOT updated? If I select three files with Auto-Sync, apply Denoise, change the slider, the update dialog only shows two files being updated.

    Thank you, @drtonyb . I will have the fixed list document updated to remove this item.

      The point is that in the list of Bugs Fixed

       

       

      the third item is this 'idea' and it is not fixed or implemented.

        Please note I loaded the new update and it DOES NOT allow the user to set the AI Denoise procedure instead it automatically runs at 50%. Your comment makes little sense.

          @m cs16279208: "Same here, running 14.5 and AIDenoise still runs immediatley at 50%. It DOES NOT allow the user to change it before it runs!"

           

          Adobe employee Rikk Flohr modified his pinned post at the top of this thread to say:

           

          "Update 08-13-2025: The current behavior has been modified, and now we avoid recalculating the result"

          Same here, running 14.5 and AIDenoise still runs immediatley at 50%. It DOES NOT allow the user to change it before it runs!

          Hi, 

          LR 14.5 is out, nice! 

          I read in bugs fixed (LR classic for Mac 14.5) following bug is fixed:

          When I check on my computer (MacOS 15.6, MacStudio M4 Max, 64GB) the slider is still fixed, before DeNoise is enabled. So selecting a state (eg 60) before starting Denoise is still not possible.

          Do I misinterprete what is fixed? Or is something else broken? 

          Thanks! 

          Ruud

          @Rikk Flohr: Photography 

           

          The topic of this post relates to being unable to select the Denoise Amount before applying Denoise.

           

          Although LrC 14.5 improves changing the Denoise Amount for a selection of Denoised photos, it does not address this topic's issue.

            Greetings all, 

             

            A new update for the Adobe Photography products has been released.  The August update contains an update regarding this issue. 

            If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by pressing  [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

            Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

             

            Thank you for being so patient. 

            Update 08-13-2025:
            The current behavior has been modified, and now we avoid recalculating the result when the denoise amount is changed on multiple images at a time. This means that – after applying Denoise, changing the amount on a batch of images at once is much faster now.

            To maintain consistency with other AI features, the amount will be set to its default value when applied.

            This bug has been converted to a feature request.

              This just doesn't mesh with my workflow. I already have a standard preset that I apply to every image on import. But Denoise is far too slow to use on all images, and I only retouch a small set of photos from a shoot. I do usually know the amount I want to use or close, so the previous UI was actually great (unlike much or most of Lightroom.) So they took one of the few things that was designed well and ruined it. 😠

                @jchastn: "Its also a huge waste of electric energy and computing power to effectively use AI Denoise 2x on one image just to get the Denoise right."

                 

                In normal operation, once you've computed Denoise for an image, you can freely adjust the slider, without any appreciable additional computation -- it happens nearly instantaneously.  Is that not happening for you?
