Lightroom Classic Users: suggest you update to the new DeNoise Tool

It's quite something to behold.

Adobe a bit late to party (the former DNG route as unworkable IMO), but they got there in the end and it was worth the wait (from trying out on a few images so far and by the reception it's getting on web).

... non LR users: no need to contribute/comment, lol.

Is that because LR's new NR is still not the best in town even though you have to pay monthly for it?

On cue !!

Like I said, no need.

Happy to oblige. 😇

Whilst I'm no expert, and the laptop I'm using is so far from the leading edge that it's probably been lapped a few times by now, I found it slow and very power-hungry; these might, of course, both be related to the age of the equipment.

I shall persevere!

a 40MP RAW at ISO3200 takes about 4 seconds on my newish PC (pretty good current spec & GPU);

Only needs to run once per image though, then you can toggle and change strength of effect in real time.
