I’ve shared high-than-usual-resolution photos on this weblog submit, to showcase the detailed distinction between the earlier than and after of utilizing the brand new AI Denoise on a RAW picture.
It blew my thoughts. I can’t consider it truly did that. My previous laptop computer would have most likely taken 45 minutes for this however fortunately I’ve a brand new, small and highly effective gaming machine with GPU, so it took a few minutes to make use of this enhancement function.
Beneath is the picture earlier than the Denoise was utilized.

Beneath is the picture after the AI Denoise was utilized.

All I did was actually click on a button “Denoise” and depart it on the “50%” quantity as robotically chosen by Lightroom. I didn’t make every other changes to the automated window that pops up and inside a few minutes, my thoughts was blown. Clearly, it additionally relies on the picture that you’d select to use the AI Denoise to. On this case, the distinction is so stark as a result of it’s a picket sculpture, so there’s not a number of element besides the wooden’s change in coloration. So, you could possibly say that this can be a comparatively straightforward picture for the AI to work with.
Which is why, right here’s one other, barely extra advanced picture. This one took about 6 minutes for the AI Denoise enhancement to conclude. Notice that Adobe mentions that this enhancement ought to ideally be utilized earlier than you make every other post-production adjustments to the RAW file. It is because the Denoise enhancement can have an effect on the opposite post-production decisions you’ve made.

Undecided whether it is clearly seen to you however you see the AFTER picture above, it has extra appropriate colors. The greens on the grape stems had been washed out earlier than once I’d solely utilized guide denoise, particularly Color Noise Discount. AI Denoise appears to have introduced again that element!
I’m considering that this AI enhancement would undoubtedly assist me with the art-style photos that I’ve been considering of making. If I push the slider towards 100% Denoise, it’s going to give me an virtually vector-like picture! I really like utilizing options to experiment with as an alternative of merely for his or her meant objective.
