DeNoise AI 2.2.12

When you are going to fix the DNG discolorization issue?

You recommend using the DenoiseAI at the very beginning of the editing process, yet this is impossible since the color profile gets whacked creating cyan’ish tint to images!

DNG editing is useless until you fix this. Especially the low-light would deliver best results in DNG. Also, the Canon color profiles are missing after DNG output.

Hey guys,

I use Denoise AI with Win10 as standalone application.

Since the last update most of the EXIF data is lost when processing 16bit TIFs :frowning:
I would be really happy, if You’d put that issue in the next release cycle.

Thanks a lot
Chris

I had an issue obtaining true blacks in a whole set of photos last year that I had to put through DeNoise. I raised the issue with Tech Support, and they said there are limits to what the AI can achieve, but that it’s being updated all the time with new learning.
I always edit the original RAW file in DeNoise before doing any other editing even the basic. In this case, to achieve the best results in the blacks, when working within On1 (although I assume this would work in Lightroom etc as well), I pulled down the saturation in both the cyan and magenta channels to zero.
Here’s part of the original DNG zoomed to 100%. As you can see it was shot in low light and mistakanly at a ridiculously high ISO of 12800 and at 1/1000 sec (I must have had the camera on auto ISO!) I have boosted the exposure a bit here to show the noise more clearly:


Here’s what it looked like after the basic processing. You can see the discolouration quite clearly:

And here is the final image after pulling down the colour sliders:

Maybe others with more experience of DeNoise will have better suggestions, but this worked for me.

Can we please have a link to the WIN 2.2.2 version where everything worked fine.

In the meantime I’m fed up with the mess of updates back and forth, not working properly.

Thx.

Use TIF instead.

Please raise a support request at the main website.

Instead of using DNG output from DeNoise I would recommend that you use TIF output with the Color Noise Reduction slider (in the Post processing options) set to at least 0.80 or try with the Low Light Mode on as those images are 12,800ISO.

In my case I have an A6400 and low light mode works well for high ISO.

I had indeed heard that DNG is dodgy with DeNoise (Now that I don’t use Lightroom I’ll be sticking with ARW from my Sony 6300).
However, I experimented with exporting the file from On1 as TIF and then using Low Light Mode. To me, the picture looks more muddy than my original conversion, whilst the skin tones, the ruby red wooden float and the sawdust in the cobblestones at the bottom left have not rendered anywhere near as well!
Thanks for the tip anyway.

Try opening the RAW image directly in DeNoise and save as TIFF/ProPhotoRGB using low light mode then adjust that in ON1.

I also use ON1 Photo RAW but I find I get a better result doing that.

I tried it on that and a couple of other similar photos and it does seem to do a better job with those deep blacks.
Would you also recommend this for RAW files other than DNGs? I am now working with ARW but haven’t had to invoke DeNoise AI yet in such drastic circumstances since the switch.

That’s strange, I’ll take a look.

Yes I do, have a look at this other thread that was started a while ago, it has some comments about using DeNoise … obviously before the Low Light Model was introduced but the basics still apply.

I just updated my software to the latest 2.2.7 version. Now my exports are a black screen when it was working perfectly before the update. How do I fix this or how do I revert back to the older version that worked well?

I would check if changing the processing mode via advanced settings in preferences fixes the issue. Which version did you have working?

I don’t see any change between the original and the preview on jpgs put into both the plugin or separately launch DeNoise 2.2.7 nor does changing dGPU setting to off nor does changing the memory from med to high. I tried cranking DeNoise to high and no visible change.

I have W10 1909 with a AMD RX580 and tried both the Microsoft certified and the optional 20.8.1 from AMD.

I just bought a new laptop a month ago so I believe it was 2.2.0 version. I am not sure what you mean by processing mode. The only two things I can change in advance preferences is ‘enable discrete GPU’ and ‘Enable Intel OpenVINO’ I have played with those settings and it still doesn’t work. GPU is set to No and Intel is set to yes.

Laptop Specs would help here.

And please post details, not just “I7” and 1 GB of Ram.

CPU Model
RAM Size and its MHZ
GPU Model and VRAM Size.
GPU Driver Revision Number.

Every time a process a photograph and close it with the little cross in the right corner below or with the file tab above Denoise closes and I get an crash error message from apple. I use Denoise 2.2.7 on a MacBook Pro with macOS Catalina. It’s so fustrated to start Denoise again and again after every processed photograph because it’s crashing. What can I do, please help. Thank you.

This is going to sound silly but is auto update preview on, and if it’s not on are you pressing update after changing settings? If you are, I would need to see your logs in order to know if this is an issue.

If you want to post your logs here, go to the app and navigate to the menu option Help > File Logging > Open Log Folder. The folder that opens up is where all your logs are stored. Also make sure file logging is turned on in that same menu.

In order to simplify checking for the error on my end, I’d like you to delete all the files in that folder and then restart DeNoise AI. This will automatically create 2 new logs where you can reproduce the erroneous behavior. In order to attach the logs here you’ll need to change the extension to .txt since the forum will block .tzlog.

Can you send me the crash log?
