Noise reduction, I want it in the develop module

I keep reading how Neat Image would like to make a module for LR once the SDK is out..... I like that Neat Image is willing to work on something for us (I like NI!) But I do not want a separate module just for noise reduction. This is something that should be properly implemented in the develop module. After all, if we start seeing modules for all different types of image manipulation can you imagine how cluttered the module picker will become!!! Not to mention how cumbersome th workflow would become! And we most likely would not get keyboard shortcuts for these modules. I know I don't want that.

I am sure someone from Adobe will corect me if I am wrong, but quite pssibly once the SDK is out some third party functionality may be able to be added into existing modules ather than as completely separate ones. The something like what you want would be possible.
Or it would be like working in QD in Library and hitting R to crop and then hitting G to go back. For Noise redux, it might be N (actually already used for something else) to take to to the Noise Module and hit G or D to go back.

  • Sharpening and noise defaults in the Develop Module

    Capture Sharpness
    I’m getting my head around sharpening and am of the understanding that there are three distinct phases: Capture Sharpening, Creative Sharpening and Output sharpening
    With regards to Capture Sharpening I’ve noticed that when I import a CR2 file into Lightroom 3.6 there is an Adobe pre-set in the Develop Module. Is this a form of Capture Sharpening default?
    Sharpening
    Amount: 25
    Radius: 1.0
    Detail: 25
    Noise Reduction
    Luminance: 0
    Colour: 25
    Detail: 50

    In Lr, "capture" sharpening is global sharpening, and "creative" sharpening is local sharpening (or sharpen masking on global basis but tailored to the image), or at least that's one way of looking at it.
    in other words, if you're sharpening raw data non-destructively, such that first round of sharpening isn't being baked in, there is no need to separate capture sharpening from creative sharpening, in your mind, or in the software you use.
    Put another way, the notion of capture sharpening comes from days when first round of sharpening was baked in, e.g. shooting jpegs, or in raw workflows where first pass yields a baseline tiff, and 2nd pass is artist's choice...
    That said, what's needed for artistic sharpening (creative effects) can differ from what's need for baseline sharpening (initial "capture" sharpening, if you will).
    Capture sharpening: just make stuff look reasonably sharp, since without it things don't.
    Creative sharpening: sky's the limit... - some people consider Clarity to be a form of creative sharpening...
    Note: since Lr's sharpening settings can't be varied (there is no way to apply high-radius sharpening in one region, and low-radius sharpening in another), and since its algorithm is aimed primarily at countering inherent and/or subtle/limited unsharpness, some people consider Lr's sharpening to be "capture-only". On the other hand, capture sharpening is, almost by definition, global, so since Lr supports local sharpening, and sharpen masking, those aspects can be considered "creative".
    In my opinon, it's best not to get too hung up on semantics/terminology, but in a nutshell, conceptually:
    * Capture sharpening needs to be done so stuff looks reasonably sharp, and is often done across the board, not dependent on image content (this is why most people apply a default amount of sharpening in Lightroom).
    * Creative sharpening is going beyond initial/default sharpening, generally on an image-by-image basis, although not necessarily. Note: it may involve removing all global "capture" sharpening in favor of no sharpening, or local sharpening only (raw data required).
    * Output sharpening depends on resolution and medium etc, and therefore needs to be done last - tailored to output device and such..
    Sorry if this post had too high of an answer to question ratio .

  • I purchased standalone LR5 in December 2014 and installed on home computer.  I have a mobile home with a 2nd laptop and installed       on this one also.  However, I now get a message saying that the Develop module is disabled and I need to renew membersh

    Can anyone help me understand why the Develop module on my 2nd laptop is disabled and asking me to renew membership to reactive.  I have a standalone LR5 which I purchased in December 2014 on the Windows platform.  My 2nd laptop is in a different location to my home laptop and is in my holiday home where I would like to work on my photos when I am away from home.

    thanks for replying.  I purchased online from Adobe and they sent a confirmation email with order number and serial no along with the instructions for downloading. There was no indication at purchase that renewing membership was needed at any time and it's only 3 months since purchase. I have just returned home from my holiday home and checked my home laptop (primary and first installation) and all modules still enabled !!  As far as I understand I am able to install twice as long as not operating both at once. This would be impossible as holiday home with laptop no 2 is 60 miles away. When I installed on no 2, i opened the order email and was able to use the serial no again. Now however it is greyed out. I don't want the cloud version and hope this is not what I have.
    UPDATE 1 April 2015-   I have checked the system info in Lightroom on my first laptop installation (home) and it is definitely a perpetual licence.  I downloaded what I thought was my 2nd allowed download on my holiday home laptop using the original email instructions and serial number.  I checked the system info on this download and it was it is a cloud version!!!!  This doesn't make sense - anyone out there - can I download to 2 laptops in 2 different locations with a perpetual licence??

  • How do I renew my membership to reactive the Develop module? I paid my montly fee.

    How do I renew my membership to reactive the Develop module? I paid my montly fee. I have never seen this before.

    If it asks for an activation to activate the develop, it must be a CC version installed. If you use a CC version you have to pay you for your selected plan like monthly or annually.
    If you should have the stand-alone version because you don't have/want a CC plan, then you probably have installed the wrong version - the CC instead of the stand-alone.

  • How do I read inches instead of pixels, in the develop module

    How do I read inches instead of pixels, in the develop module. I am not discussing resolution. When I crop, I need to see the numbers in inches, not pixels.
    I am not exporting to anything. From the develop module I go on to the print module. However I want to see inches, not pixels, in the develop module.
    I am not cropping to an aspect ratio. I am cropping to a given size, in inches, just as if I was in PS CS 3.
    LR 2.0
    Mac OS 10.4.11, G5, dual 2.3; MBP OS 10.5.4,; Epson Pro9600 c ultrachrome matte black.
    Thanks in advance.
    Nancy

    >Instead of the image in pixels, why can't I read it in inches? Physical size in pixels is staring at me, why can't inches be there instead?
    Because it is not there. The size in inches ONLY becomes real at print or at export time and can and will change depending on what you do there. Before that you are looking at a number of pixels in a computer.
    >I need to set these values in the develop module, just as if I was setting them in PS CS 3.
    That does not make any sense. There is no need to set this in develop at all. Lightroom will scale to your final size at export/Print/web/slideshow. Not in develop. There you are working with the RAW data at its native size.

  • How do I view two "different" images in the Develop module so I can match exposure ?

    Seems like a dumb question, but for the life of me cannot figure this out ?
    Thx

    I am not aware of any view mode in the Developer module that is similar to the Library module's Compare View mode. If the images you are trying to adjust were taken at the same time under similar lighting, you can select the settings of the image you adjusted and copy them to the other images. Select the image whose setting you want to copy and then click on the Copy button found in the bottom left side panel. This will display the Copy Settings panel. Insure the setting you want to copy are checked and any you don't want to copy are unchecked. Click the Copy button. Next, select one or more images you want to copy the setting to and click on the Paste button (bottom of left panel). The selected setting will be applied to the selected images. You can also perform a similar function when in the Library module but this time, look for the Synch Settings button found at the bottom of the right hand panel. Button names are changed but the dialog is essentially the same. Photos can be selected either in grid view or the film strip.

    I want to use the Web module to publish to the a website... What kind of server do I need to be able to publish my website?

    You don't need a server, you just need a web hosting package such as the ones from GoDaddy or many other hosts. You then send the web gallery directly from LR to your web space.
    As you're asking such basic questions, it might be best if you read articles like this and see if a friend or colleague can get you started.

    I have lightroom 5.7 and a macbook pro 10.9.5.  Occasionally when I am editing a photo in the develop module, I suddenly get a "file not found" message and the editing ceases to work.  There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library module or on the photo in grid view, and the histogram is gone.  What is going on? Trying to find it using the "find missing photos" in the library menu does nothing.

  • Why do I get an error message when I tried to switch from Library module to the Develop module?

  • How do I show the Develop Module settings when I open up an image I've exported from LR 4.4?

    Say I have a preset that I use upon import.  I import some raw files using that preset but decide to tweak the settings a bit per each image.  IOW, now they are different than my preset.
    I now export from a tweaked raw file a jpeg.  If I later import that jpeg back into LR 4.4 but don't apply any presets upon import (just leave it blank, I don't even check None), when the image is in the Library the "Saved Preset" line over on the upper right says "Custom" so I figure my settings were "embedded" into that jpeg when I exported it.
    However, when I then go into the Develop module, all the Develop settings are zeroed out.  Is there any way to have the setting sliders represent what I actually did to the raw before I exported as a jpeg?  I can't just hit the preset I used upon import because, in fact, the current settings have been tweaked.
    Along that same line, is there a choice I can select upon import (of an exported jpeg or tiff or whatever) that says "show current Develop settings" or some such instruction that would take care of this during import.  Thanks.

    No it’s not possible but you have a record in the history panel for your master (raw file) It will show the date you exported the jpeg etc. If you click on that line it will show all the develop settings to the right e.g. the slider values etc.
    You can in fact save them as a snapshot; so if you make further tweaks to your raw file, the settings you used for your jpeg will always be saved.
    Most users don’t re-import jpegs because they can export a fresh one at any time. It’s also possible to create a virtual copy from the menu (Photo >> Create Virtual Copy) which can have different settings to your master (original raw file). You can create as many VC’s as you like and they take up no extra space on your hard drive. Because they are virtual they are simply stored in the catalog as metadata.

  • Where can I find the equivalent tools in Photoshop that are in the develop module of Lightroom

    Friends:
    Where can I find the equivalent tools in Photoshop that are in the develop module of Lightroom?  For example I would like to use the shadow, clarity, lens correction and such tools but cannot find them in Photoshop.
    Thanks amigos
    Migs

    The obvious or not so obvious first. Depending on your knowledge. When you open a tiff, jpg, or camera' raw format they can be opened in Adobe Camera raw first which has identicle controls to lightroom's develop module.
    Starting with I beleive CS5 maybe 4, some of the tools made their way into photoshop it self. Take a look at the camera lens filter, the Image>Adjustment menu or the adjustment layers which now support vibrance for example.

    I have used lightroom for ~2 years and have lightroom 5.5 installed on a PC. Yesterday evening I uploaded a new set of photos which I cataloged and rated as usual. After that when I switched to the develop module trouble began. First thing was when using the crop tool the picture would disappear and only reappear once I closed the tool. Then exposure and White balance changes would change the histogram but not the appearance of the photo. Finally clipping was also not appearing on the picture. I first reuploaded the photos. No effect. Then I reinstalled lightroom. No effect. Help please!
