Excellent, Matt - I rarely go into ACR as I assume it is essentially almost the same as LR, but you've highlighted some significant differences in this release cycle. So, a big thank you for that!
Matt, forgive me if I missed this in your video. I had a number of distractions. It is possible to use the ACR DeNoise AI tools when coming from LrC as well. If you "Edit In > Open in Photoshop as Smart Object", then double click on the layers thumbnail it will open the smart object in ACR with all new settings available. Of course, you have to make sure they are turned on as well, just as you mentioned. But for Lightroom users, this still works.
Hi. The Photoshop Filter, or opening Camera Raw in any way that's not originating from the original raw photo, is not opening a raw photo in to Camera Raw. These features work on raw photos only. Thanks!
@@MattKloskowski I wish I could put a screen shot up here. When I double click on the smart object I brought over from Lightroom, it clearly shows I am editing in my native RAW file and those features are there. It works well for me, so I will use it until LR actually incorporates it.
Hi. Opening as Smart Object in ACR is not the same as Camera Raw filter. Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. But I just can't see that any one of these features is worth that trouble? Other than DeNoise none of them are that good. And I can't see why you'd open your photo from LR to PS to get noise reduction when you can do it in LR.
You're (and I am too) much more forgiving of the resolution after using GF than Blake. He zooms in so much that of course you'll see the different noise patterns. Thanks for this video Matt, excellent tutorial. And the HDR explanation at the end was super helpful!
Ahh.. thank you! I would never have found that hidden AI checkbox without you. I was already happy because of that new AI color profile, which is amazing, and the fact that Denoise was now enabled for S24 photos where it wasn't supported before. Now you've stepped it up even more.
Great tutorial as usual Matt! I haven’t used ACR in years, especially since switching to LR for everything. Does the Noise removal work for jpgs or just raw files? Time to give it another look.
Thanks Matt. The first time I activated the switch, I missed the note that said the changes would only take place after restarting the host application. So nothing was working. Once I closed Photoshop, then it worked like a charm.
Hey Matt, thank you for all your amazing info. I appreciate you. With regard to being "forced" to choose a number prior to running denoise in LR , yes, however you could determine the correct amount from the preview as you slide the number back and forth... this ACR denoise does seem more elegant but it's not as if you were choosing blind...
Hi Matt thanks for explaining all the new updates in LRC, PS and CRaw. Would you now make a video on your workflow with all the “major changes” in these three programs. Thank you
Hi. I don’t believe they’re “major” changes or that workflow should change at all. Talked about it at the end of this video: mattk.com/can-and-should-you-hack-denoise-in-lightroom-and-camera-raw/
Thanks a lot Matt, this was indeed clarifying. I have always considered LrC being identical to ACR. My worklow is to import raw files into Lightroom classic where I do most of my editing including denoise. This means that I have a lot of DNG-files along with my NEF files .My best photos are imported into Photoshop "open as smart object" in order to see my LrC adjustments. Should I in any way change my workflow? Thanks.
Excellent! I'm a LRC guy and am now heading to Adobe to open Camera Raw. Interesting. Is Adobe possibly going to be setting ACR up as it's AI Specialty editor? Well done! Thank You.
As far as I know this is the first time that there is a difference between ACR and LR. You think these features will be added to LR in future or do you think this is the point where Adobe is now going to make a split in options between ACR/Photoshop and Lightroom? If the latter, its going to be interesting to see how things will be heading towards in the future.
It's not the first time, but it's the first time the feature is so noticeable. I'm sure they'll make their way to being on par with each other soon. Remember this is a "technology preview" that you have to turn on. So if you read between the lines, this is a "Beta" feature in Camera Raw.
On my Mac, although the ACR denoising is not creating a separate DNG file, it does create a somewhat large acr side car file. The size of that file seems to depend on the complexity of the image.
Thanks for all the great videos on the new 2024 Adobe line up. Question, with the strong additions to Camera Raw, is there a "process" you think is best...meaning...bring images into Lightroom (my case Classic) do rough edit, then to RAW for image quality, then back to Classic for final touchup, if retouching needed into Photoshop? Thanks Matt
Hi. That sounds like a hard workflow to me. If you're a LR user, edit in LR and use DeNoise like usual. So you end up with a DNG. Not the end of the world. But there would be no reason to edit in LR, and Camera Raw for the same photo in my opinion. Hope that helps. Thanks!
@@MattKloskowski If you open a Raw as a smart object in Photoshop and then double-click the photo opens in Camera Raw with the new denoise panel and the other updates. You can also duplicate smart objects and apply different strengths of Denoise to each copy. Mask out the subject with less noise and apply to the background with more reduction. Yes, it creates another file when saved back to Lightroom.
@@MattKloskowski thanks for your thoughtful response. I was merely noting that’s it’s possible to apply different strengths of reduction using smart objects.
Am I missing something??? I did the updates on my main system and the laptop, did the tick mark on the AI Tech, and I don't have the Denoise or any of the other sliders showing in the video, help.....
I sort of wonder though if this will at least come to LIghtroom Desktop at some point. For LR Classic I could understand why this might not work (although I don't see why they couldn't use the Virtual Copies in LRC to accomplish the same thing, and maybe they are working on that but as of right now, it doesn't work or they can't figure it out). I mean in a way in LR Desktop and ACR you can only have one copy of a particular RAW photo but in LR Classic you also have virtual copies (which you don't have in LR Desktop or ACR). However for me I did a similar thing, or I would use the preview window in the DeNoise in LRC and set my amount based on that and maybe only a few times did I need to go back in increase it. So the first one is not a huge deal but something that perhaps would be nice to at least have in LR Desktop (as I'm starting to consider using that as it does save me the importing process in LR Classic, but I would also lose some things like VCs and the more detailed organizational tools -- collections/collection sets) in LR Classic. However one thing does make me wonder : if you were to import this file into LR Classic and the XMP file is present, does LR Classic ignore the DeNoising from ACR upon import? Historically LR would (or could) read the XMP file and apply any edits to the image upon import.
One more thing, the GenAI tools don't work to remove distractions from the background etc with boudoir or swimsuit shoots, or a lot of fashion shoots with women as it gets caught in the incredibly strict censorship filter.
Even more strange than it being different to Lightroom, is that if you 'Edit In...' Photoshop from Lightroom CC, the Denoise option isn't there when the image comes into PS. You have to actually 'Open' from Photoshop to have the Denoise option appear at all!
Hi. The Photoshop Filter, or opening Camera Raw in any way that's not originating from the original raw photo, IS NOT opening a raw photo in to Camera Raw. These features work on raw photos only. Thanks!
@@MattKloskowski Ah, I see. I didn't know that! But I'm order to save the Denoise setting you'd have to save it as a new file anyway wouldn't you, whether that's a PSD, DNG or whatever, so you still end up with a second file?
There’s a lot of confusion around this because of the multiple ways you can send a raw image to Photoshop and edit a raw image in Photoshop. You have to get right both of the things below, not just one or the other. First: In Photoshop, open the raw file using File > Open, or have Lightroom Classic send it to Photoshop as a Smart Object. As long as the raw file has not been converted to RGB pixels, options like Denoise will be available. Second: If you had Lightroom Classic send it to Photoshop as a Smart Object, edit it by double-clicking the Smart Object layer (that’s a shortcut for the command Layer > Smart Objects > Edit Contents) to edit the actual raw data, then you will see options like Denoise. The mistake a lot of people make is instead choosing Filter > Camera Raw Filter, but that applies Camera Raw to the layer and not inside the raw Smart Object itself (an important difference), and so using the Camera Raw filter does *not* treat it as a raw file with full raw options.
The AI features being a low resolution "patch" doesn't seem very noticeable on images from my 20mp camera, but on a 60mp image I might want to start paying attention to how it looks ? I do print>
Thanks, great update tutorial! I haven’t tried any HDR myself in LR/ACR but if it’s anything like the iPhone I hate it - hdr photos from the phone hurt my eyes & make me dizzy especially on landscapes, lol.
Another great video, Matt. I did notice something that has me confused. If I open a raw file directly into ACR all the new features are available. However, if I am in LR and do an Edit In on an unedited raw file, the file opens directly into Photoshop and if I go to ACR the new features aren't there. Is that by design and if so, why? Thanks.
Hi. When you go from LR to PS the photo is no longer a raw photo. The moment you open a photo in to PS it's not longer raw and those features won't be available. You'd have to open a raw file directly in to Camera Raw. Hope that helps.
@@MattKloskowski Of course it's no longer a raw, duh. Captain Obvious here. Thanks for the slap to the back of the head. Hope it gets to LR, though. It would fit better in my work flow. Thanks, again.
I need a workflow from Lightroom please. I Use Lightroom as my catalog. How do you go from Lightroom to camera raw? If I use Edit In Photoshop I can use Camera Raw but no Deniose. If I drag the image from Lightroom Library to the Photoshop AP in the Dock then I get Camera Raw with Denise but then have to manually import the saved result.
Although I have the newest Camera Raw, the denoise looks like it did before, no live update and you still have to make a dng. Update: I quit Camera Raw, but not Photoshop. Restarting PS did it.
Matt, How can I organize the panels in a different order? I mean, I would like the COLOR panel to appear on top of all the others. Is there a way to do this?
Matt does HDR translate to a printed image, if so do I have to print from the raw file or can I export to jpg and print -I usually do make jpgs before I print.
Thanks! There seems to be a major bug in the new DeNoise AI - applying it to the individual segments of a panorama non-destructively causes the panorama to merge together with bizarre unusable results.
I was thinking of purchasing an HDR-compatible monitor when I replace this one. However, if I send this .jpg finished picture to anyone and they can't see it, what's the point? Also, does it make any difference when I go to print this picture on a consumer printer? Would it be better to wait to even bother to jump into this if the majority of people, including me can only see this difference with a high-end HD monitor? Great tutorial as usual. Very informative and easy to follow. Great job!
I still think it’s better to share HDR files in JXL to share, with proper 10-bit support. But in jpg, they can still see the difference; they just need to have a screen capable of showing it, and latest software, as it’s a very new standard. Print it will never ever make any difference, consumer or pro printer. Basis of HDR is difference brightness level across the picture, to the point where lights can “blind” you. It will stay a screen only thing.
The new denoise feature does not work if you have a file open in photoshop and use the camera raw filter,. I only seems to work when you open a file and it goes straight to Camera raw.
Hi. That is correct. DeNoise has never worked if you opened the photo in the Camera Raw filter. It has always required the photo to be the original raw. Thanks.
the DeNoise makes a huge file. Mine seem to be about ten times the DNG file in LR. So this feature has no benefit for me. If I want better Denise I will use Topaz Photo AI and save the file as a tiff in LR.
Being able to denoise without making another copy of the photo is gold! I love the denoise tech but jeepers staying on top of all the duplicates was getting me down!
Cool! I rarely ever use LR, but ACR 95%!... BTW, I think that if a generative expanded image is posted IG will label it "AI" - not sure about "remove/erase"
If you want to do something like remove that tree, why wouldn't you just use the Remove tool in Photoshop? You don't have the mismatched resolution problem.
In my limited testing... it would appear that if going into Photoshop from Lightroom (without any denoise) that the AI denoise feature is not available in the Camera Raw Filter. I only can get it if I take a raw image into Photoshop some other way. What am I missing or is this how it works?
Don't forget when using these AI tools, Meta will put an AI banner on your photos on Instagram and Facebook unless you strip the EXIF tags for AI before you upload.
The denoise feature shows grayed out and I am getting triangle warning saying my DNG file is not compatible. I have tried this with several raw files and same thing.
Hi. You're not using a full resolution raw/dng file if you get that. Try doing a google search on your error and you should get some more info if you need a deeper explanation.
Via Photoshop filters…camera raw filter ..Maybe convert layer to smart object before .. also use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Control + A to open the Camera Raw filter👍
Hi. When you open a raw photo in PS it will automatically open. The comment above is using it as a filter in which case most of those features I showed won’t be there as they require a raw photo.
@@stevez6157 Wrong. Lightroom (Lr) = Lightroom desktop = Lightroom cloud = Lightroom cc. Lightroom classic (LrC) is separate application based on database.
Hi. In Photoshop go to FILE > OPEN and choose a raw file. Remember, not everyone uses Lightroom so Photoshop also has the same raw editor (for the most part).
@@MattKloskowski ok so as part of my Lightroom plan I don’t get Photoshop so that’s probably why I haven’t seen it. Thanks for that. I was puzzled because I thought it was a standalone app.
Gotcha! Maybe look at your plan. LR and PS are included in the $9.99 month plan. Definitely worth it for software that used to cost us nearly $1000 :-)

Don't forget when using these AI tools, Meta will put an AI banner on your photos on Instagram and Facebook unless you strip the EXIF tags for AI before you upload.
The denoise feature shows grayed out and I am getting triangle warning saying my DNG file is not compatible. I have tried this with several raw files and same thing.
Hi. You're not using a full resolution raw/dng file if you get that. Try doing a google search on your error and you should get some more info if you need a deeper explanation.
Great tutorial - again! Thank You.
if you're used to using lightroom and photoshop and how do you open ACR by itself.
When you move the RAW file From LR to Photoshop, Camera Raw opens and there you have the new features -- once you enable them in settings
In Photoshop go to File > Open and open a Raw file. It will automatically open in to Camera Raw. Thanks.
How do you open Camera raw?
Via Photoshop filters…camera raw filter ..Maybe convert layer to smart object before .. also use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Control + A to open the Camera Raw filter👍
Hi. When you open a raw photo in PS it will automatically open. The comment above is using it as a filter in which case most of those features I showed won’t be there as they require a raw photo.
I have turned on new AI Features but there is no denoise. Only sharpening. Everything is updated and on PC.
While the masking in ACR is great, the masks seem too harsh.I wish I had a way to feather the mask.
Thanks Matt, your friend Blake did not notice any of those differences and posted clueless videos
Thank you so much 👍🏿 great insight
Good stuff Matt … appreciated 👍
Amazing, thank you for the video. I have camera raw 17.0 and I can't find "Enable & Expand" can anyone help?
Maybe give this a read: mattk.com/adobe-2024-fall-update-photoshop-and-lightroom-faqs/
What is Lightroom Desktop? I thought there was Lightroom and Lightroom Classic.
Lightroom Desktop = Lightroom Classic
@@stevez6157 Um, not correct. Its Lightroom that = Lightroom Desktop, not Lightroom Classic
@@stevez6157 Not correct. Lightroom Desktop = Lightroom
Lightroom is often called Lightroom Desktop.
@@stevez6157 Wrong. Lightroom (Lr) = Lightroom desktop = Lightroom cloud = Lightroom cc. Lightroom classic (LrC) is separate application based on database.
Why does my raw look so different
LrC , a day later, gets updated to level 14.0.1 for "critical updates"
Dumb question where is Camera Raw available?
Hi. In Photoshop go to FILE > OPEN and choose a raw file. Remember, not everyone uses Lightroom so Photoshop also has the same raw editor (for the most part).
@@MattKloskowski ok so as part of my Lightroom plan I don’t get Photoshop so that’s probably why I haven’t seen it. Thanks for that. I was puzzled because I thought it was a standalone app.
Gotcha! Maybe look at your plan. LR and PS are included in the $9.99 month plan. Definitely worth it for software that used to cost us nearly $1000 :-)
Very impressive PS new features
