P: Bring back the ability of Enhance to run in the background. (LrC)

Participant ,

I just updated to Lightroom Classic 14.4 and although I do like the fact that I can Denoise without creating a DNG file, I still would like the option to select a series of images and menu: Photo>Enhance... to let it create dngs in the background which enables me to work on other images while it;s doing those. Currently, in 14.4 it takes a long time, especially if I have multiple images that I am denoising and I cannot do anything elese while it's doing that process. Is there still a way possible to do it the old previous way of creating a DNG Denoised file? Seems like an oversight when implementing this new way and slows down my whole workflow.

The best solution is to let users choose which noise cancellation method to use.

Ok, so with denoise, Lightroom used to create a new DNG file but now it doesn't. So my question is this:

 

I'm wanting to export a DNG file, with denoise already applied. How do I do that? Before, I could batch export a heap of files and the new DNGs created by Lightroom would have denoise already applied.

Now when I export DNGs, denoise is not applied anymore. I've tried embedding the original RAW file, but it doesn't work either, but that defeats the purpose of what I'm wanting to do anyway, which is store a much smaller DNG file with my edits, rather than keep my original RAW files which take up much more space.

How can I export a DNG file that can be re-edited later with denoise already applied?

Thanks in advance.
