That denoise is by far the best for me shooting boxing shows often in low light on an APSC camera and it cleans up the images real nice and I can now push the iso up further in order to shoot at higher shutter speeds
It's true. It's always better to get some noise but have a good shutter speed vs less noise but the subject smeared across the image due to motion blur. Now with these enhanced denoise capabilities we don't have to worry as much about the trade-off.
Nice, these are actually pretty handy. Even though not perfectly accurate, I like the AI masking that separates by specific feature of the subject. This will save me quite a bit of time, rather than having to brush everything all the time.
Denoise! Some years back I photographed polar bears in Kaktovik in overcast weather and a blizzard. Used that awful ,noisey canon 7D and many of y images were so noisey. Now they are cleaning up beautifully.
Being able to use curves in masks is awesome. I’ve always wished they had the hsl panel within a mask but this will make tweaking colours easier than it has been.
I've just returned from shooting a band in a very dark venue with rapidly changing lighting, so any advice that makes it easier to get good results with Denoise would be welcome.
Thanks, Colin! Denoise looks very impressive, especially for my old EOS 5DMKII :) I saw Topaz Denoize Ai installed as an extension of your LRC. What can you say comparing Adobe's new feature (does it really use Ai for locally installed LRC?) and Topaz Ai instrument? I really thinking of installing Topaz, but this video stopped me :)
GPU probably. We are all expecting the performance to get better as Adobe works on this feature. Wright Brothers weren’t too worried about anything but getting airborne
Very interesting AI option Denoise, however every time I tried to use them I got the message , "this is not available on this photo". so what are the requirements?
Hi Colin, I was a bit disappointed. I found out that the new Denoise function is not compatible with my older RAW files (a.o. .CR2) coming from Canon EOS 5D MIII and older camera versions. I'm building up my catalog since 2008, so there are quite a lot older examples to find there. Anyway, the new curve function is great.
I don't use Lightroom but the new AI Denoise tool is also in Adobe Camera Raw. I was able to use it with my old CRW files from an original Canon Rebel (2006) and CR2 files from a 7D.
Nice info, but why do you never list the version number? (A little research reveals it to be 12.3.) Whenever I used to review software, I would always list the version number.
In exporting from lightroom 12.3 to photoshop, I have no choice of versions like beta. I find it a pain to keep going back to creative clou apps list to retrieve beta; it disappears strangely.
@photoshopCAFE All updated and the only part that refuses to work is a choice to go to beta when moving a photo from lightroom into photoshop. Only labels and allows a move into the main photoshop program. No choice given.
Denoise is slow takes 15 min to do one photo so how is this going save time?😔The photo I used it on did not have that much noise' My laptop is not that old.
I think DXO Deep PRIME is the best but DXO Deep PRIME XD has artifacts and is only good when using high ISO but not extreme high ISO more like ISO 1,600 to ISO 3,200 or 6,400. But if a image is damaged from extreme high ISO artifacts come into play so I only use Deep PRIME then. I do think DXO PhotoLab is better then DXO PureRaw because you have a luminance slider. Also DXO restores loss color due to high ISO. But Adobe new noise reduction is also very good.
I bout DXO Camera RAW just days before the update. Darn!! Does anyone else here have thoughts about comparing the two. I still see DXO edging past the mark over LR's new denoising. Again; any suggestions/ or thoughts about this?
Denoise is incredible but very demanding for my 2017 MacBook Pro with 32 gb of ram. It takes 6 minutes for a single 40 mp file. Strong hardware is needed
I'm actually torn between the New Denoising in Lightroom, compared to how well it's done in PS, and the Import Smart Objects as Layers into PS as being a favorite. I take a lot of pictures of animals and many of them are indoor shots not in studio environment. My photography is all just for fun and hobby anyways but I like to make montages for people and I like them to look the best I can make them. Cheers! Stay Healthy and Stay Sane!
Being able to export multiple images as smart layers in Photoshop is awesome. I do a lot of team sports posters with multiple subjects composited, this will streamline that workflow.
HI Colin! Did I see a coupon code for the curves course or did I dream it? I assume funds are in US $ so it's about 35% more for me to pay in Canada. UGH.
Thank you very much for this! Your videos are so informative. Mea culpa for not always reading the "what's new" info on the updates. At least I can count on you.😁 Regards from Portugal.
I found another new feature in the grid view (at least I never saw it before), now there are 3 new white icons on the right bottom where one could filter "real pictures" and "virtual copies" . I often use those virtual copies, to work with LR mobile, so this is very welcome!
for me Lightroom is liquify and good content-aware fix away from almost totally abandoning photoshop for any photo development. i use photoshop more for composites, and extreme adjustments to photos and for graphic design.

Fabulous! More info on curves please! Thanks Colin
ok
... excellently explained, Colin! Particularly easy to understand thanks to exactly the right examples. Thank you from Berlin/Germany

It's true. It's always better to get some noise but have a good shutter speed vs less noise but the subject smeared across the image due to motion blur. Now with these enhanced denoise capabilities we don't have to worry as much about the trade-off.
I would like to see more on compositing using the “open smart objects in layers” feature.
Nice, these are actually pretty handy. Even though not perfectly accurate, I like the AI masking that separates by specific feature of the subject. This will save me quite a bit of time, rather than having to brush everything all the time.
I work with astrophotography and the curves in the masks was amazing new feature.
The denoise is my fave, but only because I will use it most often. Adobe has really been cranking out the useful upgrades lately!
Thanks for a great video on the new stuff!
You are welcome
Denoise! Some years back I photographed polar bears in Kaktovik in overcast weather and a blizzard. Used that awful ,noisey canon 7D and many of y images were so noisey. Now they are cleaning up beautifully.
The combining files as smart object layers sound interesting.
Denoise and curves loos good . Thank you
Is like to know more about the curves. Thanks.
Convergence is coming! As soon as we get layers in LR or file handling in PS (LightShop? PhotoRoom?!) We will be there...
Being able to use curves in masks is awesome. I’ve always wished they had the hsl panel within a mask but this will make tweaking colours easier than it has been.
I've just returned from shooting a band in a very dark venue with rapidly changing lighting, so any advice that makes it easier to get good results with Denoise would be welcome.
Wow! 10 seconds for Denoise AI!? Using my 2019 Macbook Pro it usually take several minutes. What computer are you using?
Glad I’m finally getting my monies worth out of that GPU on my Mac Pro cheese grater
8 minutes. but it seems that my PC is too weak...
I really wish I could use Denoise into Specific masks
Thanks, Colin! Denoise looks very impressive, especially for my old EOS 5DMKII :) I saw Topaz Denoize Ai installed as an extension of your LRC. What can you say comparing Adobe's new feature (does it really use Ai for locally installed LRC?) and Topaz Ai instrument? I really thinking of installing Topaz, but this video stopped me :)
Can you highlights on when to use Photoshop, Bridge, and Lightroom?
And can Photoshop by itself be enough ?
Its an older video, but the reasons are still the same photoshopcafe.com/lightroom-vs-bridge
Curves inside masks and that AI denoise *drools*. I guess its time to move back to lightroom
My best is denoise feature. very interesting
All of the for me..Thanks
Did Adobe hide enhance in Bridge? Was in 'open in camera raw'. And when will it be in Photoshop? Only finding it now in Lightroom
In ACR too
Thank you…
My Sony A1 RAW Files take up to 10 minutes to render. I have a fast computer. Any idea why ????
GPU probably. We are all expecting the performance to get better as Adobe works on this feature. Wright Brothers weren’t too worried about anything but getting airborne
Very interesting AI option Denoise, however every time I tried to use them I got the message
, "this is not available on this photo". so what are the requirements?
Bayer or xtrans Raw file, you must have missed it when I talk about that on the video.

Give it time
I don't use Lightroom but the new AI Denoise tool is also in Adobe Camera Raw. I was able to use it with my old CRW files from an original Canon Rebel (2006) and CR2 files from a 7D.
Thank you for this answer. I will try this in Camera Raw.
Ios same or only pc lightroom?
If LR is making a new DNG when using the new denoise, at what stage do you recommend using it - right from the beginning or later/last?
Use it at the beginning
Nice info, but why do you never list the version number? (A little research reveals it to be 12.3.) Whenever I used to review software, I would always list the version number.
I believe I put that in the description?
In exporting from lightroom 12.3 to photoshop, I have no choice of versions like beta. I find it a pain to keep going back to creative clou apps list to retrieve beta; it disappears strangely.
Most of it should already be there, do an update
@photoshopCAFE All updated and the only part that refuses to work is a choice to go to beta when moving a photo from lightroom into photoshop.

Best new feature? Hands down, opening multiple images as smart objects into layers!
I think DXO Deep PRIME is the best but DXO Deep PRIME XD has artifacts and is only good when using high ISO but not extreme high ISO more like ISO 1,600 to ISO 3,200 or 6,400.

light room now more look like a dark table ..
Denoise is pretty awesome! Better than Topaz!
Never mind all that ..,.You have a helicopter ?!?
I wish! I rented one :)
F/11 in lowlight, am I missing something? Hmmmmmm
Yes, you are missing the point of the tutorial
Yeah , used the Denoise for a photo and it was estimated 64 min to finish one photo.... I don't know who has time for that 😢
Thats a record. Usually takes 10 seconds for mine
it will make my hobby more fun.
useful ALR new features.
I bout DXO Camera RAW just days before the update. Darn!! Does anyone else here have thoughts about comparing the two. I still see DXO edging past the mark over LR's new denoising. Again; any suggestions/ or thoughts about this?

Editing in the different versions of PS. I was originally saving and then reopening PS beta. Thanks for the tip.
Now if only they would add the ability to create custom shortcuts
I'm actually torn between the New Denoising in Lightroom, compared to how well it's done in PS, and the Import Smart Objects as Layers into PS as being a favorite. I take a lot of pictures of animals and many of them are indoor shots not in studio environment. My photography is all just for fun and hobby anyways but I like to make montages for people and I like them to look the best I can make them. Cheers! Stay Healthy and Stay Sane!
what version of LR is the new Denoise on? I just looked for it on mine, which is up to date but it wasn't there. LIGHTROOM CLASSIC.
12.3
I’m very interested in the new ‘curves in masks’ feature. Thanks for all the info though.
I just dropped a tutorial on it! Its my newest video
Being able to export multiple images as smart layers in Photoshop is awesome. I do a lot of team sports posters with multiple subjects composited, this will streamline that workflow.
HI Colin! Did I see a coupon code for the curves course or did I dream it? I assume funds are in US $ so it's about 35% more for me to pay in Canada. UGH.
CC23NF for 25% off.
Thanks!!
My favorite new features are multiple smart objects in Photoshop and Denise AI.
Thank you very much for this! Your videos are so informative. Mea culpa for not always reading the "what's new" info on the updates. At least I can count on you.😁
Regards from Portugal.
More info about using curves, for facial skin, on portraits/headshots, would be awesome.
I found another new feature in the grid view (at least I never saw it before), now there are 3 new white icons on the right bottom where one could filter "real pictures" and "virtual copies" . I often use those virtual copies, to work with LR mobile, so this is very welcome!
Nice review! I'll have a go at these and offer up a fav based on my experience. Thanks for this!
Thanks for your informative video!
When is this coming to lightroom cloud?
Curves in Masks is my favourite.
I still dont have those new features after updating, Is this something they will be releasing?
Make sure you update cc app to force updates. I made a vid on updating a while ago
Denoise!!! blew my mind!
for me Lightroom is liquify and good content-aware fix away from almost totally abandoning photoshop for any photo development. i use photoshop more for composites, and extreme adjustments to photos and for graphic design.
LR and ACR have come a LONG way!
Denoise!
Thanks
Iam Leica shooter, so my RAW files are actually DNGs - guess what? Denoise does not support DNG files currently...
I think it will come pretty soon
That’s odd. It works for me.
@dell-tone6472 will check again source is M246
