Effortless Noise Reduction
High ISO noise can compromise image quality, but Lightroom’s new Denoise feature provides a sophisticated solution! We’ll show you how to leverage AI-powered noise reduction to achieve perfect results, maintaining detail and clarity. You’ll even learn to confidently address challenging lighting situations, ensuring your images exhibit professional-grade quality.
Access The Tool
1. Import your RAW image into Lightroom Classic and navigate to the Develop module.
2. Zoom in to a shadow area to clearly observe the noise.
3. Locate the “Detail” panel and click on “Denoise.” A preview will appear, showing the before and after effects.
4. Adjust the “Amount” slider, starting from zero and gradually increasing it until you achieve a balance between noise reduction and detail preservation. Avoid pushing the slider to 100, as it may result in a loss of detail.
Apply Enhancement
After setting your noise reduction, select “Enhance.” Lightroom will generate a new DNG, a duplicate raw file, with the applied noise reduction. This ensures your original image remains untouched, allowing you to revisit and refine your edits as needed.
Compare Results
In the library module, use the stack icon to reveal the original and denoise version of your image. Compare the two side by side to see the noise reduction. The new DNG created will have “denoise enhanced noise reduction” in the file name. Remember to download the sample image to practice.
That’s the end of day 22! Tomorrow, we’ll explore how to combine the power of Lightroom with Photoshop for advanced image editing.
