    Julieanne Kost does a great job explaining how this AI Denoise works but does not say "where" it happens. My wild-assed guess is that it happens in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). Lightroom Classic (LrC), like Photoshop (Ps), cannot "raw process" and both run the ACR plug-in at that. Most people are not aware of this in LrC because it is masked in the User Interface (UI). But in its website, Adobe clearly indicates using the ACR plug-in in LrC. That is relevant to your question, because both the luminance and colour noise you see in example images, in my opinion, can be considered as artefacts following from raw processing. It is conceivable that the colour and luminance noise is generated in a similar way that Moiré is generated by raw processing. That is hard to prove and I would counter such a reply to my point by saying, well then it is insufficient deBayerisation (the first main part of raw processing) and demosaicking (the second part in raw processing). The Denoise algorithm we see at work in the video does a pretty good job. But detail retention, or prevention of detail loss, probably can be improved upon - and sharpening is another ACR weakness - very bad. Together with detail retention/sharpness another thing that can be a lot better is the upsampling to much higher MP images. So, if Denoise happens in ACR then you have it in Ps as well. Note here that I am subscribed to the Adobe photography bundle for over 10 years. And my rant about this recurs for years already. I was not able to verify this as 15.3 has not yet been distributed to my neck of the woods. I'm still at 15.2. In Ps, the detail panel is in ACR - visually different UI from LrC but that's where I expect it. Then I started LrC to see if it had been upgraded already (note to self: makes no sense because it uses the same ACR) and Adobe asked me if I would recommend their software to friends, relations and put a likelihood number on that from the scale 0..10. My answer 0. My answer to the question what they need to do for me to recommend it: "For you to remove the need for me to also buy Topaz DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI, and Gigapixel AI. Or DxO PhotoLab/PureRAW. Adobe Camera Raw's "raw processing" is very bad and I feel cheated on when you release all sorts of parallel products or bells & whistles but don't fix the basics."

After applying Denoise to an image, I'm reluctant to delete the original file. 1) should I keep it? 2) do you anticipate Adobe improving Denoise such that it "sticks" to the original file negating the need to create a new file?

  • @TheBigBlueMarble
    @TheBigBlueMarble Жыл бұрын

    AlI AI noise removal works by finding consistent patterns across the entire image. Anything that is consistent everywhere in the image is likely to be identified as noise. Therefore, it works best and preserves the most detail if you have as large an image as possible (don’t crop before removing noise), with a variety of objects and textures in the image, and some light and dark areas. If you took a photo of a blank wall, and the wall filled the entire image, any small pattern in the wall would likely be considered noise by the AI. This is why TEXTURE and GRAIN should NEVER, NEVER, NEVER be applied before Denoise.

  • @FSEGresearch999

    Thanks for the video and the advice. But I'm having real problems using the new LR AI DENOISE. I would very much like to know what is going on with the new DENOISE feature in LR and if there is something I can do to optimise the performance. My computer has the I7 12 Gen CPU and NVIDA RTX 3060 Ti GPU. When I try to do heavy editing on the AI DENOISED file in LR the system is painfully slow, to the point of not being useable. I can't beileve that my computer does not have enough muscle to process the images, so I must be doing something wrong or my system is not set up right or my workflow is not right. I should also say that I tried optimising my LR catelogue just in case this is what is slowing down the system, but this does not help. My original image is a SONY RAW out of camera file, which starts of as a 37 MB ARW file (I'm now using L lossless compression hence the smaller size) and after the LR AI DENOISE process a new 102 MB DNG file is created - so I now have two files after the LR processing, my original SONY RAW 37 MB ARW file and the LR AI DENOISED 102 MB DNG file. Actually, I have three files, as I then produce the JPG file which comes in at 3.6 MB. So, the extra large DNG that AI DENOISE is a bit of a problem, but not my main issue. The problem is the painfully slow processing of the DENOISED image. Perhaps its my workflow that is contributing to the very slow performance? My workflow is: 1) Import SONY ARW file into LR 2) Crop ARW image to desired size 3) AI DENOISE image, creating the very large DNG file. This process is a little slow but tolerable 4) Edit AI DENOISED image which includes heavy editing such as adding a number of masks to touch up various parts of the image. This is the painfully slow part of the process. Working with the AI DENOISED image is painfully slow to the point of not being useable. 5) Export final image as jpg. Exporting from the edited DNG file is also slow (in comparison to exporting from the edited ARW), but tolerable. What am I doing wrong? Why does editing the AI DENOISED file take so long? Any advice welcome.
