I’ll take a look at this for a future version, but for now if you have a version where this worked previously let me know. You can use the forum to find previous versions if you want.

Does this new version download models or are they all included as before?

Downloadable models aren’t implemented for this one yet, at least not in a user facing way. The installer will drop all the models still.

Hmmm… I have a sample image, and serious that the Standard and Clear models do not de-noise in automatic mode?

The newest version 3.1 strips away two important EXIF fields (used in Photoshop Lightroom):

- Date Time Original
- Date Time Digitized

For that reason, for example, sorting by Capture Time messes up.

This is currently being worked on. For now I believe LR has an option to overwrite metadata by clicking the small arrow on the top right of the edited image.

Installed updates today (Windows on 5/19/2021) and after choosing the best DeNoise format, it starts processing to save but will never save it, processing forever. Really needs to fix this bug ASAP.

Could you help and provide a bit more info so I can try to debug this? Is it an issue in all modes, or a particular one? And can you upload logs here: [Submit files](https://www.dropbox.com/request/RZJRZVKs6t0UclKVfUWM)
