For those of you patiently waiting for the new A.I Noise Reduction Pre-sets for the Canon EOS R1 camera. The good news is I have finished all the RAW analysis and ‘slider tweaking’ some time ago. The not-so-good news is that I discovered a serious bug in the latest Lightroom version 14.4 that prevents the creation of a workable preset. I have reported the bug to my contact at Adobe, and they have verified my findings:
“Yes, you are right, this aspect is currently broken (as well as the ability to make a preset that turns Denoise off ). I’m looking into this and hopefully will have a fix ready for the next release, time permitting.”
This means the release of the new A.I presets are currently on hold, pending a fix from Adobe. I have no idea how long this fix will take, but I hope the next Lightroom update will address the issue.
The optimal setting for the A.I Noise Reduction slider was a significant amount of work, and as such, this will be a paid upgrade for existing users of our analogue Noise Reduction pre-sets. However, all existing users will be entitled to a 50% discount when the new presets are released.
