P: Tell the user why Denoise and Raw Details are greyed out

Report · Apr 24, 2023

The Enhance dialog should explain why Denoise or Raw Details are greyed out by providing a simple explanation:

Denoise and Raw Details don't work on the selected file types: <file types>

where <file types> provides the precise file formats of the selected files: mRAW, sRAW, linear DNG, JPEG, TIFF, PSD, PSB, etc. LR has that information internally -- it just needs to show it to the user.

In addition, Learn More should link to a page that provides a comprehensible explanation. Right now, it just says "any Bayer or X-Trans RAW files" -- how many non-nerd users know what those are?

This trivial change would avoid hours of user frustrations and needless FAQs here.

This is rediculous. We dont need surprises like this from a large software co like adobe.
I took 2000 images today and cannot denoise cr2?????
Yesterday it was still fine.
Surely , they cannot manipulate to this extend.
Can someone refer a more reliable software?
