If you are dealing with very high ISO settings, or attempting to correct severely under-exposed images you may need to increase the Amount slider beyond this range. You can set the amount anywhere between 1 (which is essentially no noise reduction) and 100, although I find that settings somewhere in the 50 – 60 range are more than sufficient for most images. This is the same dialog used for the Enhancement and Super Resolution features we have seen before, with the addition of the Amount slider for Denoise. Clicking this brings up a dialog with a single slider, “Amount” (above right). To the Detail Panel in The Develop module (image above, left), a new button called, “Denoise…” has been added. ![]() Using this new tool is simplicity itself. Second, it can take several seconds to several minutes to process a file, depending on the image and the hardware you are running Lightroom on. This new DNG file is automatically added to your Lightroom catalog and stacked with the original raw file. It creates a new DNG file version of your raw file with noise reduction applied. It does not work with DNG, JPG, PSD or TIF files, at least not currently. At the moment, it works only on RAW files from the common Bayer-array sensors (think Nikon, Canon and almost everyone else) or the X-trans sensors of Fujifilm X-series cameras. ![]() There are some limitations, and it does exact a workflow penalty, but these are a small price to pay for the incredible job it does at reducing the appearance of visible noise while preserving fine detail. In fact, it works extremely well and is very simple to use. With little fanfare and even less advance notice, Adobe has introduced Artificial Intelligence-based Noise Reduction in the desktop-based and the cloud-based versions of Lightroom Classic and Lightroom. ![]() While there are some improvements in masking that will be of interest to portrait photographers, and we finally have the Tone Curve in local adjustments, the big news is in the Detail Panel. On April 18th, Adobe released a game-changing update to Lightroom and Camera Raw.
