Ok,
keep in mind that you have to turn off Sharpening and Denoise in LR, because every time when you came back from any other software into LR it will sharpen.
The first image looks like sharpen two or three times before denoise.
I would work first on the image itself and when you’re ready you denoise it as the final step.
Thats how i do it.
Who can help me I am new user and can not start Denoise!..
What are the symptoms? I.e does nothing happen, does it start to open then stop?
How are you trying to use DeNoise, as a plug-in to a application or standalone? If standalone how are you trying to open it?
What is your OS? What GPU(s) do you have, if more than 1 GPU what is allocated to DeNoise and what is the driver version?
And, @davidlcrooks:
Even though I don’t work in Lr (I’m a Ps person…) whenever I open raw images in Adobe Camera Raw (Ps implementation) to process them there b4 doing my ‘creative’ Ps processing I always turn all sharpening and denoising functions off in ACR (that would be roughly equivalent to your Lr processes I think). If you don’t do that, it’s true you could be double and triple sharpening and denoising. That will produce the kinds of artifacts (speckling) you’re seeing in your hummie image.
Lr may be different in how it works so take this with my Ps user proviso … After I do basic processing (with sharpening & denoising set to none) in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) I launch my images into Ps for all other processing. The 1st thing I do there is a denoise. Then follow that with a very basic (not final output level) edge or image capture sharpening. Then I do all my creative machinations. Output sharpen. Then (most often selectively) denoise portions of the image that might need it (masking or painting on selectively). The goal of the selective denoising is to not soften and/or lose dimension all my previous steps created.
I’ll defer to Thomas if Lr is a very different animal in terms of processing. I don’t use it at all so can only speak to Ps processes…
BTW… on your sample image, was it your goal to make it heavily yellow-hue skewed? And downplay the midtones for a bleached look?
