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

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.

@lukedyson , I am not a user of Bridge / Camera Raw which are Adobe applications that can do the Dnoise process as an Alternative to the LrC app to Denoise your Raw images. Then you can import into LrC for further processing. Just a thought.

So has Adobe drawn a line under batch denoise in the background? It might seem like a small deal to those who don't use it often or need it, but for those that work in low-light conditions it's become a critical addition and this has very much become a downgrade.

I downgraded to restore the feature back in June and now have no intentions of trying v15 onwards if this feature isn't re-added in some form.

A key example for me:

It was fantastic when culling through say a couple of thousand photos and I have 50 selects made I could de-noise those whilst I continued to cull through the rest. So by the end of my culling all but the last few selects were denoised. Rather than then sitting there whilst the system was blocked de-noising for however long I could get straight onto editing.

Ditto - And we are many who have screamed about this for months but with no
reaction from Adobe - WHY?

When Lightroom is processing and syncing my edits in batches it takes forever and I can't do anything else in the program. I am having to rely on other apps for culling and Denoising because they are so much faster or allow me to work on images while it is processing. Am I doing something wrong. Does anyone have a work around or suggestion? I do nighttime sports photography and work with thousands of images a shoot. Please make these improvements so I can maximize my time which is valuable.

Hola.

Antes cuando trabajaba con LRC podía reducir ruido de una imagen pero podía pasar a la siguiente y editarla , con lo que ahorraba mucho tiempo, ahora hasta que no acaba de reducir el ruido en una imagen no me deja pasar a la siguiente.

¿Hay alguna manera de cambiarlo?

Gracias

@Nigel DCosta

I recommend to file a bug attach files (raw + XMP or DNG ) so the LrC can conduct proper testing on them.

This is not the good thread for the issue you speak about.

Dear Adobe Team,
Please fix or enable bulk denoising without ghosting, as this issue did not occur earlier

So, fow how long should I stick to 8.3.1, before you restore the Enchance feature?

Dang. And here I thought that I've been so convincing in passing the Turing test over the course of my life. You found out my secret. Bot all the way.
