    In this tutorial, I examine whether the new AI Denoise that is in Lightroom should be done early or later in one's workflow or if it even matters.
    Here is the video I did where I went over the new things found in Lightroom Classic 12.3:

    I'm guessing that the difference would be: that looking at a denoise image, you may implement different edits or strength of edits compared to what you would do if looking at a noisy image first. For example, since the denoise process changes sharpness, you may apply a different amount of sharpness if looking at the denoise image first.

    • @goranandersson3544
      @goranandersson3544 Год назад +1

      That was what I was thinking too. It seems more logical to apply the denoise early as it is applied to the original anyway. If you apply the denoise late in the process, you might have to go back and adjust a lot of the development settings as the starting point has changed.

  • @garyhaley5234
    @garyhaley5234 Год назад +32

    I believe the results will basically be the same but the processing time will increase if DeNoise is done after using the spot healing and masking tools. That is because after doing the DeNoise it then has to reapply the masks and removals since the pixels may have shifted and impacting the mask results.

    • @DavidSchamis
      @DavidSchamis Год назад +1

      If that's the only cost that doesn't bother me at all. I have a 3090 GPU and Denoise takes only a few seconds.

    • @goranandersson3544
      @goranandersson3544 Год назад +2

      Also, as the spot healing is now applied to the denoised image, the result will be different from what you saw when you did it. It may also be different from how the spot healing would work if you created it after denoising, as the algorithm may want to use a different part of the image as source.

  • @jonathanptaylor
    @jonathanptaylor Год назад +1

    I think you are correct about the AI algorithm working on the original raw file. I just edited an image and healed some areas. The unhealed image is what appears in the denoise preview. Keep up the amazing work by the way.

  • @JackBeasleyMedia
    @JackBeasleyMedia Год назад +1

    In my work, I photograph sports under very poor lighting conditions. So, noise reduction and face sharpness are critical. I'd be more likely to do sharpening and denoise first, just to make sure the image is acceptable before I start doing a bunch of edits. Also, I always import my images with my own preset, so some editing is already done before I can touch that Denoise button.

  • @pederkristensen4691
    @pederkristensen4691 Год назад +4

    Hi Anthony, thanks again for your Lightroom demos. I believe the AI Denoise can be done after any basic edits, but needs to be done before any image masking or healing are done. It would be interesting so see if that workflow holds true.

  • @flemmingmorgan1929
    @flemmingmorgan1929 Год назад +1

    Thanks. This has cleared up a doubt I had. One further doubt : is it the same to DeNoise a cropped image versus the non cropped version

  • @matthewsinger
    @matthewsinger Год назад +3

    From my experience playing with this feature, I think you are correct. I think LR is applying the NR and then copying over your edits. What I have noticed is when you start adding masks, especially AI masks, it slows down the conversion process. So it's possible that the creation of the new file is faster on a minimally edited RAW file compared to a fully edited RAW file.

  • @pieterdhaeze
    @pieterdhaeze Год назад

    Julieanne Kost said NR first had something to do with masking and local adjustments. Maybe then you see a difference.

  • @michellehoag6134
    @michellehoag6134 Год назад

    I had previously edited an image that I used Masking tools. After I saw your first video, I went back to then use this new Denoise tool. It that situation it did make slight changes and there is a warning message during the process.

    I sometimes use the Y button to pat myself on the back that I've actually done something good in Lightroom. I got a feeling the Y button shows "before" from when you did the denoise - perhaps a reason to do denoise early

  • @JosepBel-c2l
    @JosepBel-c2l Год назад

    Just tried with a not too noisy pix (NR first). It did a good job, but took way too long actually to be considered a practical option choice for quite a bunch of images to work with. Just usable for those few important ones with a lot of noise badly in need to be recovered, but not for a "normal" workflow.

  • @RonCohen-u5i
    @RonCohen-u5i Год назад +2

    On my version of Denoise, there's a warning that any Heals or AI Masks will be updated during the denoise process, and that may change their appearance. I suspect that's why Adobe recommends denoising first.

  • @carlyoshihara4502
    @carlyoshihara4502 Год назад

    Before I came across this video, I did the same before and after test. I couldn’t tell a difference. LR Denoise came out a week after I bought DxO pure RAW 3, which looked better than Topaz AI. DxO is a micro butt hair sharper than LR on one the image I tested. Most people would never know. I’m sticking with LR Denoise, because the workflow is much simpler.

  • @HR-wd6cw
    @HR-wd6cw Год назад +3

    I think it does make sense to do NR early on, especially if you plan to send the file to PS or some other pixel-based editor later. If you're not, then maybe it doesn't matter since you'll always be working with a RAW file (or DNG, which is basically the next best thing to a RAW file), versus soemthing like a TIFF type file, which may make AI noise reduction harder or not possible by LR. Plus I think if you're doing spot removal or cloning, it may be better to do it on a "cleaned" image so that you can get the best chance of a good result from such tools versus waiting until after doing NR and then having to apply NR to the entire image, it could leave some artifacts especially if you use layers and for some reason those might be ignored, among other things. So I think early on make sense, just like how cropping early on can also make sense from an editing perspective.

  • @csilig
    @csilig Год назад

    Anthony! I think Adobe was thinking about local adjustment when recommended to denoise before edit. You should try it! Unfortunately I can't do it because my LR does the denoising in 5 - 10 MIN on Windows 11 laptop! For me is useless comparing with Topaz Photo AI!

  • @williampegram
    @williampegram Год назад

    Thanks for the video. Very interesting that denoising with sharpening applied seems to not affect the final result, as you say this would suggest adobe denoises the original raw file & reapplies edits. If so this is quite cool really. Still I'll try to denoise early & with no sharpening applied, just in case. Thanks!

  • @TheAirplaneDriver
    @TheAirplaneDriver Год назад +2

    Great video as always. Thank you Anthony. I do have a question….if you have an under exposed image and bring up the exposure say, 1 stop, my experience is that will bring out additional noise. If you denoise first, then edit last (bring up the exposure) wouldn’t that defeat the denoise algorithm?

  • @MrFreakwent
    @MrFreakwent Год назад +1

    I tried denoise on a .nef file after your first video about the new feature and was impressed with the visible results. I don't see any difference in the final images here. It * could * be that doing denoise first reduces the processing time I suppose. Thanks for this video ,always appreciated.

  • @johnkelly2902

  • @AnujRawlaVRRT
    @AnujRawlaVRRT Год назад

    Absolutely. Even DXO just references the original RAW file. I normally do the edits on the raw file and then after the edit if I find that the noise has increased due to my editing, I run the file through DXO and then copy the edits over to the new DNG file created by DXO.

  • @paulg9042
    @paulg9042 Год назад

    Thanks for posting! Appreciation from the user who asked the question. :) When you compared the two there was no shift in the histogram, which would suggest the treatment was the same. If you compare to the original raw file prior to Denoise you'll see a shift in the histogram (as would be expected). I would imagine that if you exported and subtracted the two there would be no difference. But, this does bring up a question as to when you should sharpen the image. I noticed your settings had the sharpening at 0 prior any work done. I'll look at that this weekend.

  • @jourdaj1
    @jourdaj1 Год назад

    Wonderful video, Anthony! I'm finding that if I apply 40% vibrance to an image, then Denoise (40%) that the image seems to have the equivalence of 80% vibrance added after Denoise. So I have to move Vibrance back to 0% after Denoise to remove this effect. So I'm in the boat w/ you (and Adobe) to use Denoise first, then apply edits to the image to avoid any additional effects being added (other than Denoise)....

  • @godsinbox
    @godsinbox Год назад

    always first. you want to feel good about the image while editing, not bummed that it is so noisy.
    Also, Lr does the masking before you even start, so if you send to an external editor that also changes the lens correction geometry, then you cannot update the masks.

  • @fc4090

    I had a problem with my computer getting slower as a processed images in Lr. When looking for a remedy I found an article on Adobe's site that was very helpful in which order you could do edits to minimize slow processing speeds. Maybe that is their consideration.

    The rapid improvement in noise removal technology has caused me to change the way I shoot. I have always favored aperture priority for anything but studio work (which is typically manual). Now, I have gone to using auto ISO far more often. I set my aperture, my shutter speed, and let the camera control my ISO. With a max ISO set to about 6400 (give or take), I let the camera do its thing, and if the image is too noisy...not a problem anymore.

    Has anyone found a preference setting to alter the embedded "Enhance-NR" character string that is part of the returned file name. In my mind a personal choice such as E-NR would be sufficient for file names that have shoot related meaningful character strings.

    I've found the AI reduction to match my own fine tuning in the classic reduction system. The AI is a a one click solution; it's not better than me, but it's a lot faster than me! I'm very happy with it.

    @nandromyn9832 Год назад +2

    So, I add clearly visible grain in LIghtroom with the Grain tool before I use Denoise and guess what? Denoise removed the grain. This suggest that the Denoise tool should be used first.

  • @DavidSchamis
    @DavidSchamis Год назад +1

    Thank you for doing this video. Maybe I'm the weird one but I find it totally strange to do Denoise early in my workflow. Generally speaking, the more I crop and the more I edit colors and exposure the more noise I get. I don't really know how much NR I want or need until I have done those edits. That seems totally logical to me, but I'd love to hear the counter arguments to that.

  • @redstreaker7050
    @redstreaker7050 Год назад

    I experimented with some previously edited High ISO pics and found that the AI Denoise preview ignores the "manual" noise settings but includes the sharpen settings. If the sharpening is set very high, the noise is exaggerated in the preview. This results in the denoise setting being set unnecessarily high in an attempt to minimize the exaggerated noise. It seems the Sharpening settings are not applied to the image until after the DNG file is created. I found that by turning off sharpening, AI denoise works well with a lower setting. I then reapply sharpening to the DNG file and the result is significantly better. (hope this makes sense)

  • @mariolombardi4766
    @mariolombardi4766 Год назад

    Great Video thank you Anthony. If you want to remove noise just from the sky since it appears there’s no masking feature tide to the AI denoise yet, how would you go about just removing the noise from the sky, if you wanted to use the LR classic AI denoise feature?

    Denoising at the end will be good to reduced filesizes. So First edit everything completely, then applying denoise to every photo, so Tons of dublicated dngs which are 10 Times bigger are created, then exporting them to jpg and THEN deleting the dngs to save much space. that way I would Do it with big folders with 1000+ Photos in it

  • @tomwear4613
    @tomwear4613 Год назад +1

    I would think that when you use Denoise would be somewhat dependent on the edits you're going to do, since some of them (mostly exposure increases of one kind or another) increase the amount of noise. So wouldn't it be better to hold off on Denoise until you've finished adding whatever noise you might be?

    • @goranandersson3544
      @goranandersson3544 Год назад

      The denoise is applied to the RAW data, so it's not affected by any noise that you add in the development.

    If I repeat your method and then subtract the AI first from the AI last, it shows that they are not exactly identical. However, if I copy the development settings from the original to the AI first image, they become identical.
    That shows that the AI denoise is applied to the original RAW image, but the development settings might not be copied exactly from the original to the denoised image in the process.

  • @susanmeyer8885
    @susanmeyer8885 Год назад +10

    I would think, just my 2 cents, if you utilize masking and other localized edits that doing Denoise first would be best. Your example was all global edits, so that is why I believe you don't see much difference. Thanks for your video to illustrate the latter.

    I shoot, process, and store a LOT of photos. I like the results when I use the RAW model for noise reduction (Topaz Denoise/Photo AI) and now in LR. BUT ... the intermediate DNG files are so large. With my Sony A1 compressed raw files (52MB), the DNGs are 290MB. With new LR Denoise, the DNGs are about 215MB. I assume similar disparities with other manufacturers raw files. Why do the DNGs need to be so large??

  • @TheBigBlueMarble
    @TheBigBlueMarble Год назад

    I don't know if AI Denoise is similar to DXO PureRAW 3, but DXO suggests that you not crop before removing noise. Apparently, the AI works best with the most number of pixels to work on.

    • @cbaten2
      @cbaten2 Год назад

      They are already ignoring crop settings see resulting dng which is always uncropped version. This is probably because Ai was trained with (lots of) uncropped pics.

  • @technor007
    @technor007 Год назад

    In my tests so far, I found Denoise applies to the Raw file directly and not to the edits. The edits are then copied over to the new DNG file. This new workflow in LR is quite different from say how we work in Topaz Denoise - where Topaz creates a file with LR settings and then denoises the file. DXO PureRAW IMHO also follows the same process as LR - apply denoise on the base RAW File without any LR edits. Believe your conclusion is the same as well.

  • @KissingTrails1
    @KissingTrails1 Год назад

    As the edit is non distructive and the raw file on the HDD is not touched at all and as the result is a DNG, so Lightroom must work on the RAW file and not on a Tiff with the edits on ot I think. So I think your right, and it do not matter.

    @michealpociecha8351 Год назад

    So if your wanting to sharpen a photo for detail is super resolution better than noise reduction?

  • @andrewmason8691

      I'm not sure. Someone mentioned in the comment section of my previous video that Julieanne Kost from Adobe said in a video that Adobe's Denoise should be done early in one's workflow. I haven't found the video where she mentions that so I'm not sure of the reasoning.

    15 seconds processing time. I need a new PC, mine takes 40 minutes. The results are great, and quite a bit better than my 2021 version of Topaz, but that only takes a few minutes.
    That being said, my Topaz plugin appears to have degraded after this update. Placebo or Adobe tampering? :)

  • @davidclement5927
    @davidclement5927 Год назад

    Given that to apply Lightroom AI noise reduction just takes only one click, to simplify your workflow, could you run Lightroom Denoise against all the images you process. this would ensure that further editing would work against the best possible image. As long as it does not have a detrimental effect on an image with little or no noise.

  • @FSEGresearch999
    @FSEGresearch999 Год назад

    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.

    I have a million old processed RAW files that could stand to have DeNoise run on them so good to know I can just go ahead and add it after the fact. DxO PureRaw also says to use an uneditied RAW file and I also can see no difference if I don't.

    Hi Anthony
    I'm 70 and easily confused. I work exclusively in RAW within lightroom, until I need to print or email an image. If the denoise element creates a dng file at the end of the process, how does this affect the original .nef file? Do subsequent edits need to be done to the RAW or DNG or both?😢

  • @johnfjeldsted6406

      When using any external plugin to reduce noise, I recommend that you do so very early in your workflow.

      @@AnthonyMorganti As I crop most of my photos, I would always do that before using denoise. Otherwise it might mean doing it twice.

    As long as you do all your edits in LR it doesn't seem to matter when you do it. If you edit in Photoshop then you will have to run it through the AI denoise right away, because photoshop will convert the raw file to a Tif and you can't use AI denoise on a tif when you return to LR.

    I tried LR Denoise and Topaz Denoise on few of my images, and I am surprised at how good Adobe Denoise is. It depends on the image and lighting, but it is pretty good compared to Topaz and the best part, it's included in the product itself. I will wait for a few updates on it and may it I can cancel topaz subscription. (I use Topaz Clear mode for most my images and that's what I compared it against.)

    Couldn't you load both images as layers in Ps with a difference mode and see if there is any pixel level difference?
    The real question is, would the difference matter in your work anyway if the majority is posted at social media resolutions...

    It does not matter for the simple linear edits and in fact makes you better capable of judging the noise problem before you chose the sfenght inside NR. (although I side it shows with a version without the linear edits, so this dies help your judgment inside NR. Several people mention valid reasons to do it early, e. g. better judgenent/functioning of non-linear actions. Adobe also has an interest to get your unedited pictures in NR as they probably exploit this by using your picture and your choice of settings as input for their Ai improvement.

    My Denoise seems to have stopped working in LRCC. It creates a new DNG, but I click and compare and can't see any difference..Suggestions?

    I've noticed that the Denoise Amount is sticky. Instead of the AI engine making a recommendation, it dials in the "amount" from the previous use. Am I wrong?

    Denoise takes long time, more than 2 minutes per picture. Does it require fast processor?

  • @jonathanhall5670
    @jonathanhall5670 Год назад

    I believe it may have to do with with pc resources use. I used a lot of AI mask, portrait enchance etc. just to try them out. Then tried to use the new denoise. I have a 16 core 7950x3d and a Nvidia 4090 and it said it would be 72 minutes to denoise process🤯🤯🥴

    Hi Anthony, since the Denise creates a 2 nd DNG file , if it’s synced to LR then it duplicates the same image on all your devises which is kinda annoying not to mention taking up space -what do u recommend - just delete the original DNG file ? I haven’t done this yet in case it deletes the ordinal Raw file which was imported and converted to a DNG - can you give us some reassurance on this - many thanks

    Neither. I just tested LR AI DN against Topaz DN and came out with 4:27 minutes for LR and 00:23 for Topaz. Can't waste my time using the LR version, even if it is embedded.

  • @exert2020

    I think it does matter. I would do the following:

    3. Sharpness
    4. Everything else

    So if you use LR Denoise in your editing . . . do you then NOT use Topaz Denoise?

  • @grahamslight9359
    @grahamslight9359 Год назад

    I have found that Lightroom AI Denoise has been far more effective than Topaz in retaining detail in dark coloured (Black and Navy Blue) than Topaz. In a couple of examples, bird with black feathers and a person with a dark blue sweatshirt, Topaz did not retain the same level of detail as Lightroom. The feathers were extremely indistinct in Topaz with virtually no detail, just a dark area. On the sweatshirt, folds and creases were much more evident in the Lightroom version, in Topaz much of the fine detail was missing.

    I know this is old video but this comment is for people who don’t want those large DNG files that LR creates as part of this process. I like to delete them to save space or my storage needs will triple.
    I do all my edits first because all those edits on the RAW files are stored in the side car file (XMP) and I love this as a backup in case my catalog is corrupt. I apply the denoise almost at the end as once you start working on the DNG the edits are now stored directly in the DNG and the catalog.
    If you don’t care about storage costs then apply the denoise first.
    The drawback is in some cases when you apply denoise later in the workflow the results might not be as effective if you use healing tool a lot in your workflow.

      Same here, first time I used it was taking 4 minutes. Went to use today and now taking 12 plus minutes. Topaz and dxo raw 3 quicker by far than this denoise. Results are good but I don’t have the time to wait.
