Adobe recently rolled out one of its biggest Lightroom feature updates in quite some time: AI noise reduction. Promising to vastly out-perform the previous system, the new functionality has some stiff competition from many other options. How does it perform in practice? This great video overview takes a look at what you can expect.
Coming to you from Mark Duffy, the awesome video takes a look at the new AI noise reduction functionality in Lightroom. I have had a few weeks to check out the feature as well, and I have to say I have been quite impressed so far. It is certainly a major step up from the old feature. Although it might not edge out some of the results from competitors, it is close enough that the convenience has mostly won me over. Having the functionality right there where I do most of my cataloging and editing work makes it much more convenient and efficient than round-tripping to another program and makes me more likely to apply it on more borderline photos that I might have let slide before. Still, you should find the right balance of convenience and results for your needs and workflow. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Duffy.
