- This video is a master class on Lightroom Denoise! If you want to see my techniques for making ISO 12,800 look like ISO 400, you're gonna love this! It's the BEST way to fix a noisy photo!
In fact, I think the advanced techniques at the end of the video allow you to make your images look better than any third-party app - just using Lightroom!
In this video, we'll take a really deep dive, and I'll show you everything you need to know to get the most from Lightroom Denoise. We'll talk about the kinds of images that work best, how the Donoise tool works, and some advanced techniques beyond just the simple Denoise dialog.
In fact, in my experience, the advanced techniques featured towards the end of this video preserve detail better than any third-party software I've tried while giving you the best possible noise reduction.
It's the best 45 minutes you'll spend on post processing!

Just a quick note. I've had a number of people comment about the end where I use the same treatment on the bird's back as I do the background. It's a little heavy handed, but please keep in mind that this was originally slated as part of a larger project and, at this point, I hadn't discussed making yet. I wanted to keep it simple and intended to go into more detail later on in the program.
That said, ideally in this scenario I would add the brush adjustment to the mask BUT I would lower the opacity of the brush so the bird got less of the effect and retained a little more detail. A point I was going to make later on in the series :)
Very helpful, and clearly explained , thank you
Hi, just one comment. Since the new Denoise function is basically replacing the RAW demosaicing process with the RAW Detail demosaicing the image you made your sharpening mask decision on is invalid in this workflow. If you want to use the Denoise function then you should defer all decisions on sharpening until you performed the Denoise. After that I would indeed go ahead and set the sharpening mask value (which may be lower overall because you have to protect against less noise and thus can allow for more sharpening to be applied)...
I would like to disagree with you. The Denoise function causes irreversible changes to the original raw file, and with insensitive settings, it can destroy fine details. For this reason, it is practical to at least roughly estimate the effect in the preview, to understand what the result of the Denoise function will be. The sharpening value can then be further adjusted in a new raw file (DNG). However, if the Denoise function is incorrectly set and denoising is performed, this action cannot be undone, and it is necessary to repeat the Denoise process with the original raw file. Remembering the original setting value can be helpful in this regard. It can also be found in the first step of the denoised DNG editing history.
@@i.m.5621 My point is that the edit you applied is completely invalid because the base for your adjustments is different from the very beginning as the denoise automatically uses a different demosaicing algorithm that renders noise and sharpness completely differently even when noise reduction is disabled.
You did not exaggerate. This is a true Masterclass. Complete, credible, useful, no time wasted. Your video answers many questions about denoise/sharpening and teaches how to do so professionally constantly and easily. Thank you!
Steve - thank you, thank you, thank you....! So, so, helpful at all levels.
I re-edited some of my older photos with this technique and...wow. My editing results improved significantly! Thank you SO MUCH for this video!
For many of us, you have put new tools tool in the toolbox. You did a lot of work on this and spent a lot of time on this. Thank you.
Your tips and techniques never let me down. When I see you come out with something, I always have a look, and what you cover, many times, helps make me a better photographer.
OUTSTANDING!!!! Noise...what noise? You ROCK, Steve!
I would have paid money for this. Absolutely fantastic information you are giving out here, Steve! The photography community thanks you 🙏
I would absolutely watch 100 hours of lessons on post processing from you! Thanks so much for this great tutorial.
A typically detailed thorough and easy to follow instructional video. Well done maestro.
WOW!! Loved this video and all the others...thanks Steve!
Excellent video Steve. Really explains the Denoise function in great detail. Thanks.
Outstanding as always, Steve. You are a natural teacher. Thank you.
Thanks, Steve. Really a comprehensive tutorial on the subject
Steve, This is HUGE! What a fantastic, simple, clear path to seriously improve images. No fuss, no muss, I LOVE it!
Superb Steve thanks for improving my skills as always ,
As always…another very comprehensive tutorial on an effective tool for my kit. Thanks Steve
Steve, thank you for the class. I learned much more about Lightroom and denoise.
An absolute master class. Thank you so much for clarifying so many little features in the sharpening area that I just never understood and which are seldom covered in other tutorials. Also, for showing everything in such clear detail. So often tutorials just show you the sliders along side the picture, so it is too minute to read what tools are being used ... then the presenter zips through everything so quickly that you don't really have time to absorb what they are showing you. I only updated my version of Lightroom recently, so am just discovering the joys of AI denoise now. It all makes so much more sense now. Going to be going back through some of my older wildlife night shots and pre-sunrise shots to see if there are some gems amongst them that were previously too noisy to use.
Thanks Steve. Incredibly well explained and very effective without having to go in to Photoshop.
Wow - excellent stuff, Steve. Can't wait to use this workflow when I need noise reduction/sharpening. Thanks!
Just amazing! Thank you so much, heading out to your website now :)
Steve, as always an incredible teaching from you, so appreciated
Outstanding Steve. No matter how much we think we know, there's always another tip of many tips that help us get better. In addition to picking up sharpening and denoising techniques, I learned how to zoom in a mask! Bravo and well done!!!
This is one of your best! Thanks, I learned a lot about the new Denoise option in Lightroom!
What an awesome class. Thank you for sharing this. So appreciated.
Great! Ready to take notes.
Thanks Steve!
Without a doubt, this is the BEST tutorial that I have ever seen on noise and sharpening. I now look forward to looking at some of my noisier images and see what I can do. I really enjoyed the after noise reduction enhancement noise reduction. Awesome! Thank you!
Magnificient video, the best denoiser video I have seen, thankyou for sharing it in yt with all of us
Incredible job! These informations coming for free are gold for us! Thank you very much 🙏
I Googled and CZcamsd looking for exactly this information. Found a lot that didn’t explain anything about it, wasting my time. Then I found your video and I knew You would explain it all! Love your videos and material. It is always very informative and explained in an easily understandable way. Truly impressive! Thanks!!!
Great video Steve. Appreciate your willingness to share your techniques that could take years to evolve alone.
There are good videos. There are great videos. And, then there is this video. Just incredible. Thanks so much for this masterclass. I've never had a 40+ minute video seem to end so soon!
Wow, thank you!
Yep great tutorial 🙌
As usual, you have revealed a number of tips that I had not used or discovered in DeNoise and LrC which seem excellent and which I will try. Thanks a lot. Pierre
Excellent! Thank you for sharing your techniques. I’m most certainly going to try your suggestions.
Excellent technique Steve. I have been using denoise and sharpening like I did 15 years ago and this has opened up my eyes on how to use the new tools. Thanks for the info!
Brilliant! I am in the process of editing Namibia photos where I used Canon 100-500 with 1.4x. Most morning and afternoon shots were ISO 2500 to 12,800 and water hole night shots 25,600. This was so much new information I can use. Thanks
Brilliant! Thanks for posting this on CZcams.
Thanks Steve for posting this, thoroughly explained and very helpful.
Great video! I use Denoise for my high ISO shots but now I look forward to applying your techniques that will just bring my photos to another level….appreciate your videos!
Worth every minute. Thanks Steve.
A fantastic tutorial and explanation Steve, thank you very much.
This is so helpful, and very generous of you - THANKS! 👏🏻
Excellent! I’ve worked with the feature some but now can take it to the next level. Thanks.
Absolutely fabulous information presented in a logical and understandable fashion. Thank you so much for posting this!
Wow, Steve! This is the best video I've seen on this subject! I have tried some of these moves before, but not in the systematic way you demonstrate. I sure will in the future. Thanks for posting this!!
Great video Steve and learnt alot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great additional information on Denoise - I use it often, so extra tips are ideal, thank you
Very detailed and easy to follow! Thank you very much!
Brilliant tutorial, Steve! Thanks
High-quality content! Thanks Steve!
Great video with solid advice. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you so much for posting this video Steve. I've maneuvered my way around Lightroom Classic without the help of untold videos because I tend to retain more information that way. I've reached the point where I'm looking for more guidance on certain areas of the tool to help me refine my workflow and to correct mistakes I'm sure I've made up to this point. Thankfully this is a hobby:). As always, your commercial free, straightforward and simple language has made this video an absolute keeper and I can already see improvements in the way I am using the Denoise and sharpening tools. I think a lot of CZcamsrs could learn a thing or 4 from how you approach things. In any event, since you were generous enough to post this extensive and remarkably informative video and not charge a penny for it, I'll be buying another one of you informative books to further refine my hobby and to thank you for all you do. Cheers!
Thanks Steve. As always great video and insite. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Steve for this in-depth look at Denoise. As always, I learned a lot and will be processing more confidently now rather than guessing how it worked. I appreciate the step-by-step instructions; your videos are the best I have encountered. So grateful!
One excellent tutorial.Thank you.
A wonderful instructional video, well explained, and demonstrated. I've learnt a lot. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing...This is by far the workflow I have found for denoising photos.....The ability to denies a high ISO photo opens a whole new world of wildlife photogarphy, especially with my older Son A6000!! Keep up the great work!
Nice, precise and to the point. And it works very well.
Steve, an excellent video on noise reduction. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic video. Everyday is a school day. Learned a lot from this Steve. Thanks very much!
Fantastic video thanks Steve, great value.
Thank you Steve, extremely helpful as always!!

Wow this is incredible information!!! Thank you so much!!!👍👍👍
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Thank you Steve!!
Thank you for a very practical video for subscribers of LR. I will experiment with the techniques you have presented.
Steve, thank for putting this out. In the past I used to rely in Topaz Denoise for wildlife images and recently I have been trying out more frequently Lightroom’s denoise. But this technique is far superior and my initial results are much better. Many thanks again.
Great video, extremely detailed and helpful. Thanks.
Great instruction, looking forward to practising myself. Thanks
Really helpful information!! It’s very much appreciated; thank you!!
Legendary explanation. You sir, are born to be a teacher.

GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for the helpful content
Thanks for the video. Very helpful!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you
Thank you for showing how to properly use these tools with the caveat that you need a *IN FOCUS* image to begin with, that point alone will save many from headaches, frustration wasted time and energy 👍⭐🙌
Good stuff sir, great video and instruction.
Thank you and blessings to you and yours.
Great video, Steve. Using the "Texture" bar to mask noise in the background is a new technique for me. I'm looking forward to giving that a test drive.
I consider myself an experienced photographer and Lightroom user but I must say this video really taught me some new things! Great video Steve!
good to know I've been doing it right! Thanks for the video and affirmation!
absolutely amazing video
Thanks Steve. Love this!
