AI denoise explained
Understand the RAW preview, strength and separate editable DNG result.

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:09.000
AI denoise needs a supported RAW
This JPEG sample shows the controls, not a finished denoise result.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:15.000
Open AI denoise in Prepare
An optional download supplies local models and tools.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:21.667
Strength balances noise against texture
Around 60% is a starting trial; lower values leave more grain.

00:00:21.667 --> 00:00:28.333
The sensor selects the model
Bayer and X-Trans are detected from the RAW, not just its brand.

00:00:28.333 --> 00:00:35.000
Use GPU when faster checks the hardware
It can fall back to CPU; untick it to force CPU.

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:41.667
ISO override is for missing Bayer metadata
Use the actual capture ISO; otherwise leave it blank.

00:00:41.667 --> 00:00:48.333
Preview a detailed and a smooth area
On a RAW, Preview denoise opens the detail comparison.

00:00:48.333 --> 00:00:54.333
Compare at the same position and zoom
100% reveals lost texture as well as remaining noise.

00:00:54.333 --> 00:01:00.333
Global colour and exposure are included
Crop, masks, retouch and other detail effects are excluded from this preview.

00:01:00.333 --> 00:01:07.000
Apply creates a separate full-size DNG
The original RAW stays unchanged and is stacked with the copy.

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:13.000
The new DNG keeps editable adjustments
Exposure, colour, crop and masks can still be changed.

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:19.000
Denoise strength is baked into that copy
Return to the RAW for a different strength or demosaic result.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:25.667
Save copy as chooses a name and location
Allow space for a large floating-point DNG and temporary files.

00:01:25.667 --> 00:01:31.667
Use denoise before object removal
Continue editing the denoised copy and judge ordinary sharpening again.
