LrC 12.3 with AI Noise Reduction

[pluton]

This seems to be an improvement over the previous Lightroom/ACR noise reduction, which aggressively removed detail from high ISO images.

Thank you Fons; thank you John. I agree. Adobe did a magnificent job.

[Nasos Kosmas]

I see excellent results!
Up to now I use Topaz Denoise that’s good but with some artefacts depending on the photo
It’s true that photos after AI noise reduction looks like unnatural, a little fake , flat

D6. For me still the best camera around. A couple of notches above the already excellent D5. And compared to the Z9 I had on loan from NPS ? The D6 outperforms with regard to AF. And does a better job in my domain of automotive sport photography. Just my humble opinion, absolutely not an absolute statement.
