Lightroom Classic v12.3 - 'Denoise' AI Noise Reduction...

[PKM-UK]

Some of my first tests of this new feature. I was not expecting too much straight out of the wrapping, but you know what - it's looking interesting...

(Note Denoise currently only works on raw files and with certain sensor types at this point - creating new DNF files. The below edits were carried out solely in Lr C, with Denoise set to 75% strength).

Images are looking good.

I should add (as I've just realised it's not shown - and we still can't edit posts... ) - the first was shot at ISO 3200 and the second at ISO 6400.

That Canon RF 100-500 zoom looks great too.

Well, after a few more re-edits, you can officially put me down now as 'Very Impressed'.

A couple more ISO 6400 shots from my Canon R5 below (Lr C Denoise again set to 75% - running smoothly on my M1 Max).

It's an absolute joy to use - and can even help someone as ham-fisted as me to get a decent shot...
