Amazing AI DeNoise in ACR 15.3 and Lightroom 12.3
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 08. 2024
- Let's face it, Noise Reduction in ACR and Lightroom has always left us with much to be desired! It forced us to reach for third-party plugins like ON1 or Topaz DeNoise. Not anymore!
In the most up-to-date version of ACR and Lightroom, you have access to a new Artificial Intelligence Noise reduction feature in the develop module, and guess what? It's incredible!
I can FINALLY get a good balance between detail and color while reducing noise at the RAW level, and I see a lot of potential for it in the future. I am sure Adobe will continue to develop it and make it one of those flagship features we can't live without!

Can't wait to try this Blake! You did a great job analyzing it for us. Would love to see what it does with milky way photos.
Thanks
Milky Way photos are very similar to architecture in that it's high ISO and color is important. You can file the guidance for the first image, I'd say.
Ooh! Been waiting for this from adobe for quite a while. I scrambled and pressed ‘update’ to camera raw faster than Superman! Thanks for sharing. Will be interesting to see comparisons with other denoise software.
It's great actually! I think you'll like it 😁
Blake you are leagues ahead of others on your explanations, understanding and presentation of how exactly this new feature works and benefits !! 👏👏
Thanks! There is a lot of great content out there on it. I watched my Buddy Greg Benz' version after I produced this and liked his thoughts as well. He's a good dude who knows a lot of the technical stuff that is well beyond me. People think I'm in competition with a lot of these guys, but I prefer to be friends it makes life happier and easier :)
@@f64Academy 100% man !! You’re one of the good guys we have for sure
Just upgraded today and was blown away. We’ll done, Adobe. And thanks for walking us through the workflow, Blake!
My pleasure 😁
If you're blow away by this new feature, try for free (30 days) the DxO PureRaw 3 and then let me know what you think.
You're welcome.
Thanks for a great overview in this new functionality.
My pleasure
Thank you.
I've watched your vids for quite some time.
Now I'll clarify that... I've perused your vids for some time.
I now realize I should have been paying attention all along
I'm paying attention now.
No matter how long you've been involved in photography
There's a new revolution around every corner.
I appreciate it 😁 and you are so correct!
This is a great and much-needed update!
Agreed!
Excellent video, as usual. Thanks.
My pleasure
This is really a very powerful addition to ACR. I also tried this yesterday and found it very effective. I believe a lot more will be added in this section in the coming days.
I think they'll do more with it, at least make it more stable, that would be nice.
@@f64Academy Yes Blek, the leader of the industry is just revealing it's AI features now within a few months there will much more 🤗
It looks so much more natural than what comes out of systems like topaz denoise. I love it.
I agree!
Yes absolutely. I found too many artefacts with Topaz, this looks much cleaner!
Top stuff Blake.
Thanks :)
Can't wait to play around with this - it has taken a long time for them to catch up on it
They always catch up though, and usually create something better IMO or at least better for my workflow.
@@f64Academy absolutely. The subscription based approach has really helped them move much more quickly with development and release of features, they seem to add more and more each release.
Very cool! NR is/was a huge Achilles heel in ACR.
It certainly was.
Thank you....great video.
Glad you liked it!
Updated today but still to try it out. Thanks for pointing out the DNG file size.
Enjoy it
Thank you for that video.
My pleasure!
I really appreciate the huge improvement that Adobe did, but I’ve tried it on night skies, and there’s still artifacts . But if this is ground level sky can’t be the limit 🚀
Thank you 🎉
No problem!
I hadn't realized this was now a feature. I just tried it on a few photos that were WAY too noisy to share (ISO 12800) with just the default denoise setting of 50 and holy goodness - I'm blown away by how incredible it looks! Seriously - it looks like I took the photo at ISO 800. I didn't really even lose any detail and it doesn't look plastic or airbrushed.
Pretty awesome! No more ISO limitations😁
@@f64Academy Seriously - this is a game-changer!
GoodBye DxO and Topaz!
It's a start to an integrated solution. Hopefully, they will change the feature such that it does not create a separate DNG and instead it becomes another layer with masking ability. Like the other smart filters.
Agreed!
Just saw that it also works with X-Trans Raw files from fuji cameras, that's excellent news, I was in the process of deciding whether to buy topaz or deepPrime. I may now instead put that money towards prints.
Might be a smart idea, I really like this new feature.
a 20 MB DNG Canon Mkiii became 70 MB DNG!!! Thanks for the training.
yeah that sounds about right, a 3.4 size increase. Close to what I was seeing with my files. Glad you liked it.
NICE
WOW!!!! I just compared some noisy nightscapes in DXO prime, DXO HQ and CR denoise @50% No Comparison. CR RULES! This really is changing everything for me. So cool.
except of course the rework I will now do on all those older images....
One year old PC and takes way too long to complete the Denoise. Hello Topaz....you're still my go to!
It can take a while that's for sure.
Great presentation, Blake -- many thanks. When do you do your noise reduction -- early or late in your workflow?
Typically in PS, wherever really. It doesn't matter much where I do it with my blend if workflow. This is great for raw file prep on an image like this where it needs the help at the raw level.
Cool! :)
I thought so 😁
I accidentally shot 58 360 scans for a client at ISO 3200 in a dark amphitheater. I think you may have just saved my bacon.
Adobe did 😁 I just gave you the message!
Works fair enough for the first iteration of it in LR. My issue is my computer is two years old and waiting for it to process is like watching paint dry. If you try to batch edit, even just a few images, you'll have time to go mow the yard while you wait
For real! It's a resource hog. One time it took 10 minutes after I recorded this. Crazy.
I agree! Lightroom have become an excellent gardening tool! The distribution of manure is a bit over-saturated though.
@@f64Academy My machine is about 8 years old - but it is running a 4.2 gig processor which is kept cool. Takes about 20-30 seconds to process a high ISO raw from a 5D4 (32mpxls). The problem is the amount of calculations that need to be done, and there is no short cut, like the FFT when it comes digitising off the sensor. .
@@Yraleyable There I can't help, because I have no broad experience. I'm running a a,Quadro P1000 graphics card, and my processor is an 8 core 4.2 gig AMD. Its quite an old machine now, but still pretty rapid.
My raws start at about 37 megs, and Adobe takes about 30 40 seconds. Still a lot quicker than Topaz which takes forever just for its previews.
looks like a very good addition, but for me what takes a few seconds in Topaz AI takes minuets in Adobe, making it more or less unusable, when using it with the Sonya7riva files
I can see that. But the way it handles color, IMO I think it's worth it..
Thanks. Can you batch photos? Shooting in the same low light location , I’ll batch my photos over to Topaz
I've just tested this and although is a nice jump from the previous, old and dated noise reduction algorythm, I wasn't blown away neither much impressed.
It is better than the manual mode but if you've ever tested DxO PureRaw 3 you'll see how much better it is.
In skin texture the PureRaw 3 isn't perfect, but I believe that it'll get there.
I'll have to look into that.
For normal portraits / skin texture DxO and Topaz both are very bad, even only applying 1% of denoise makes the skin (and other fine structures, clothes...) looking like plastic, absolutely useless in my eyes and I tried it out several days every single setting of each tool. It makes only mostly sense for nature and animals.
@@mh7711 That's true, I realized that too. But it's a matter of time, I guess.
For me the multiple functions in Topaz Photo Ai outweigh Adobe’s way of doing things. In Topaz Photo Ai we get the controls over NR, Sharpening and possible upscaling, all in one process. On top of that Topaz proves with a masking option for the sharpening function as well. Since LR opens up the Denoise Ai in a new window and spits out a DNG file as a result it works like any other plugin implementation, the workflow is pretty identical to using any other plugin such as DXO PurRAW, Topaz Photo-DeNoise, etc.
Love it save my money to buy another denoise app
Agreed!
Blake, in your prior videos with NR, you also combined Blend If - would you still incorporate that into your worklfow
Not here. You really can't. This only works on raw files so you couldn't use ACR as a filter to get this effect. You really can't use blend if this way that's a PS only kind of thing.
Just a small test: while the RAW and the Enhanced-NR.DNG files are different sizes, if opened in PS as Background (raster) layers, the PSDs are the same size. Opened as Smart Objects, the file size differences are maintained, as expected.
Interesting. I ran the same test and it does appear they are the same size in their respective PSD file saves.
@@f64Academy Julianne Kost suggests that Denoise should be run before applying Masks, Healing adjustments or Texture/Clarity. Applying Denoise after these steps taken might require them to be redone. The new Denoise resets the old detail panel panels to 0. Thinking about how you have repositioned the panel order in LR/ACR, perhaps the new Detail panel should be above Basic.
It's very unstable in LR on Win.
1 in 5 tests I get a result, some just hangs (20 minute render time!), comes up with a "Unknown error occurred" and once turned of graphics card support! Unusable for me.
But the results when it worked, FANTASTIC!! Have to wait for an update to use it again.
The file size is mad though.
Adobe is requiring more and more resources these days.
Interesting. I wonder if this is a reaction to DxO RAW and how the two compare. I'm confused about why the file size is so much larger.
It is making another raw file from a raw file. Not sure why, but maybe that will change in the future.
The new feature makes Photoshop really unstable, it hangs much often and I did a comparison with DXO PureRAW 3.1 and the output of DXO is better in noise reduction, detail and is faster than PS. Good improvement for PS for been the first release.
I did notice some stability issues when inside ACR. I had to turn off the GPU once because it was doing some really funky things. Once I turned it back on, all was good. but it sure does seem unstable. after experimenting with it some more. 'll bet they patch it soon.
I think the new AI NR in Ligthroom will be enough for my amateur needs. But what about lens correction, sharpening, etc.? Do I still need DxO PureRaw for that?
I don't think so, all of that stuff is in LR and ACR. I prefer to local sharpen over global anyway in PS. It's all personal preference though.
please make examples from astro photo with 3200 ISO... I'd like to know how Ai can differentiate stars vs noise? And alsa the examples above are RAW, how about jpg just like i lost my RAW and left only small jpg? I've tried Topaz and ON1 but they couldn't make any better than the originals. Thanks
I would prefer to empower you 😁 I would ask that you experiment and see what you think. It's one slider, I think that's manageable 😁
Great tutorial. I was so looking forward to using it in ACR (Windows) after the Adobe updates this morning. Sadly, I had to rollback, due to ACR really messing up my RAW images when I opened them. Here's the tweet I sent to @adobecare : "Hi, carried out the latest updates for Photoshop and Bridge, but my RAW images appeared oversaturated, underexposed, over contrasted. Process of elimination and rolling back the versions, I discovered it's the latest ACR 15.3 that's the issue."
It could be. It's doing some weird stuff on my end too. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes to do the NR, sometimes 30 seconds. I think its a resource hog right now that might need a patch. I'd bet one will be out within the week.
@@f64Academy Sorry to read that, Blake. My problem was solved (thank you Adobe) by switching off the graphics processor in ACR. Finally tried out Denoise, using your tips as well and it works pretty fast on my 50+MB Raw files.
Hello sir can you make some videos on fitness editing ?
I don't really do that so I can't really show that.
Nice but I would expect an AI-based tool like this one to automatically set the default level of reduction (with optional manual tweaking).
Meh, it's one slider, I think we can manage
Incredible compared to all other tools? Can you please compare them all?
I don't have them all so I can't compare, but you can feel free to compare it with what you currently have.
The best noise reduction is DxO PhotoLab 6.5.0
I have not experimented with that.
I tried it out last night on a 32Mp file and it took 12 minutes to process. DxO pureraw took 15s on the same PC. Is there a way to speedup adobe Ai Denoise
Not that I know of. It is creating an entirely new RAW file because it has to rewrite the data with the AI adjustments. It's not simply reducing the noise in the image, its reducing the noise while adding AI elements like details and such. I think that's why it needs to write a new file entirely.
Can you please print that one sentence big: "You do want some noise in your image"... May I add a "you need to have consistent noise levels across your image" because there many other noise reductions fail - by the looks of it, LR doesn't use a subject detection to apply differing noise reduction levels across the image.
People think I'm crazy for saying that, whatever, lol. I don't mind a little noise. It's better than a blurry plastic mess IMO. I'll take the daggers being thrown at me.
Can I open the new denoise feature in Lightroom and apply it as a batch to dozens or hundreds of photos at once?
I don't know. Nor do I think you'd want to, lol. that might slow your computer to a crawl for hours.
Hi my photos is not compatible with the new lightroom denoise using a7iv raw
I'm not sure. I don't have that camera.
I know why now the sony new compression raw is not compatible
Hi Blake. I tried new DeNoise on about 40 images from different Canon cameras as well as from DJI drones. On about 50% of the pictures, specially those taken in very low light or pictures from the drone, when you zoom in to 300-400% you see the pixels king of stretched to kind of lines. On the milky way shots it's not usable. I think the algorithm is not yet as good as everyone is saying. if you are zoomed in 200% it's more or lees ok. But once you look closer you see very strange behaviour on the pixels. Did you observe something similar? I see something very similar on your eagle picture. Thanks for the video.
It's definitely possible as its trying to fill in detail from the noise I believe that's the AI engine running. I'm not as concerned about it though unless its noticeable at 100-150%. I mean, if I print something, its VERY rare that someone is going to put their nose an inch away from it to simulate a 400% zoom, you know? I think people tend to look too deep into things instead of think about where and how it will be displayed. No one will zoom in that far on Instagram or Fb if viewing online and I really can't remember a time when someone got closer than a foot to one of my prints.
If it's noticeable at 100% zoom, it might concern me, but other than that, I'm all good with it.
@@f64Academy Fully agree. 95% of the cases fine. But for example in milky way/night sky pictures you can notice it relatively quickly. I will investigate more in the following days with different ISO and scenes. For now night sky and drone shots from smaller sensors seem to be the biggest problem.
I was excited about this but creating massive files is a deal killer for me. Topaz Photo AI does the same if you follow their recommendation to apply noise reduction to a raw file, but not if you send it from LR into Photo AI as a TIFF (which also seems to prevent the odd color shifting that results from processing a raw image directly in Photo AI). I don't know why applying AI noise reduction to a raw file triples or quadruples the file size, but even with lots of storage, I'm not interested in having gigantic photo files.
Converting a RAW file to a TIFF also increases the file size by creating a new TIFF file, correct?
won't allow me to upload Sony raw files it just says its not compatible?
Check to see if it's an actual Raw file and not a DNG it won't work on a DNG file.
Updated to ACR 15.3 and I have no denoise feature! Seems I'm the only one.
I do have the new facial hair masking though. So weird.
Make sure you are in ACR the program, not ACR the filter. Also it will not work on jpegs.
Already tried. Result a system crash. Computer with sufficient memory and more than meets the system requirements.
Fortunately I have Topaz denoise and at least that works without any problems.
Yeah, it's still new, I think they have some kinks to iron out. It's very graphic intensive.
i just updated camera raw to 15.3 but there is no such button like this :/
Logout of Creative Cloud, log back in, then see if you have an update for it.
@@f64Academy i just found it, i had to enable "automatically open all suported jpegs" in Camera raw setting to see the button for jpeg file, but it is working only with RAW file, for JPEG i can see the button but : "is not support this file format!" :)
good to know, only for RAW! Thanks! :)
@@Marian78ro right, that's because it needs Raw data to make more raw data. You also won't find this in ACR as a filter for that reason
So denoise then sharpen the dng?
You could, I was just showing the possibilities. I prefer sharpening in Photoshop, but if you just want to edit real quick in ACR, sure.
@@f64Academy Thanks
What about the shadow of the dome ... 4:16
Then make a local adjustment... This isn't about fixing the entire image, it's about one thing, noise reduction... Maybe two, sharpening...
Adobe should save the results as compressed canon cr3 raw files with 20 mb/45mp instead of 200 mb dng... :) Or we need new dng standard
Yeah that file size is a bit crazy.
Yeah, it would have been nice if they were so kind as to add to their iOS version. I rather get the impression that Adobe is snubbing their mobile apps, very lackluster updates recently.
I don't think you'd want it there. This is a VERY graphic intense addition. I had to record it 3 times in fact because it was slowing down my machine and wreaking havoc on my recording software. I have 256 gigs of Ram, a 24 core processor, and an 8 gig video card and still had issues trying to record my screen and use this new addition.
Your mobile device would probably explode if it was in there 🤣
Thanks, yeah I am running one of the last Intel iMacs, 128 GB RAM, and noticed that as well. It's that I do a lot of out-of-town assignment work and prefer the iPad Pros over the Macbook.
Well it isn’t any slower on my 5K iMac than the Enhance tool is. And I was doing that while encoding HD video files and also upsizing video files with Topaz Video Ai and browsing the Adobe Community to report a new bug. Well and old bug reintroduced. Lol😅
The processors on the m1 iPad Pro are more than capable of this. Adobe just don’t support all the latest on the mobile platform. Heck, and iPad Pro can apply filters in real time to 4-5 4k streams simultaneously at 8K resolution. DaVinci Resolve can manage 8K video on the new m2 iPad Pro. Adobe is not in any danger of losing customer base to anyone and unfortunately the know it.
Totally! The development of Ipad PS has been nothing short of pathetic. One or 2 minor changes a year at best. Where is Blend-if? Where are actions?
The update is not available in the UK yet
That's odd. Did you try logging out and logging back into your Creative Cloud App? That's what I had to do. If that doesn't work, try a fresh restart, then open the CC app.
@@f64Academy Tried that this morning Blake. My PC has been off all day as I've been out. I've just tried to update again using the CC App and directly in Lightroom. But the CC App still says there are no updates available
Solved the problem Adobe didn't like that that I have a connection through a VPN
@@MikeHardisty that's interesting! Huh never saw that one coming!
This new Denoise isn't available in ACR ???
I sure can't find it !! LOL
Not ACR as a filter. ACR the program that opens up raw files into PS.
@@f64Academy , Ooh ok. Now I get it. Thank you. I love your channel!!
it doesn't work here either in Photoshop, more particularly in Lightroom, and yes I have upgraded but Lightroom reports it doesn't work with any of my filetypes,.jpg,.dng,.tiff, so what gives?
It must be a true RAW file. It needs true raw data.
ok that wasn't made clear, not by you just the hype of Denoise seemed like any filetypes was editable and since all my raw files seemingly raw, are dng because of all the different cameras over the years, makes dng more manageable, so I guess I can't make use of it to edit old noisy files
@@enzotommasi6512 not of the original raw files are not on hand.
01 comment thank u
Welcome 😊
Except it doesn’t work with all cameras Sony A9 and A74 ok, but not A7R5??? Wish there was a compatibility list by camera not this unhelpful comment about Bayer sensors
Interesting, I'm just the messenger 😁
Almost as good as Topaz lol.
simpler, that's for sure :)
My image takes 4 minutes to process through the AI denoise. DXO takes less than 1 minute. Am I missing something
Different engines do different things.
Can you tell on what processor and what card, how long it takes to reduce the noise on one photo?
Luminance noise is not bad? Yes it is
Mild noise reduction is all that's necessary is all I'm saying.
