Re: ACR Enhanced Noise Reduction Photos

Very impressive. I guess the DNG files are much bigger than a jpg, but with noise recovery like this on offer it would be tempting to keep the output set to DNG. I read somewhere that jpgs may be supported by lightroom's denoise function in the future. Alastair On Wed, 26 Apr 2023, 8:00 am

Re: How large is too large...

do you store files as dng files with the lightroom settings built into the files? If so, almost nothing can go wrong, since if you somehow corrupted the catalog so that it lost files or had metadata conflicts, a fresh import of those dng files into a new catalog will reconstruct all the edits
