14 August 2024 It's Lightroom update time again! See What’s New in Lightroom Classic 13.5, Mobile & Desktop (August 2024)? for the bug fixes. Hopefully this will fix many of the sync issues reporting in Classic 13.3 and 13.4.
Compare denoise in Lrc, Topaz and Photoshop

I was not sure if I should post this as there are Topaz users here. I did look her up and she's not some basement hack. I don't think so but of I'm wrong let me know. Just to point out Topaz is a good product and no two files are alike.
I have come across other videos that also show Topaz sometimes doing weird things in specific areas of a file. I can't compare to what is current. I only have Photo AI v1 but I did see this happen with that version. This is 10 months old, Topaz is always improving so she may have a more current video.

Has no one has reported 8 sec Denoise times in LrC. This is what I am seeing after I upgraded my 16GB M1 iMac to a 64Gb M2 Ultra Mac Studio. I found the 30s times I was getting with the iMac to be unacceptable.

I can’t remember if I posted this regarding Adobe Denoise AI. My 2019 Intel takes 33 seconds. My 2020 MacBook Air M1 with 16GB ram used to take 85 seconds. After Apple fixed the Neural engine problem it dropped to 25 seconds. That was at the 13.2 release, I think.

For me it's even less - for my 20 MP OM-1 RAW files
I have asked the TO how long it takes because he stated "I try Denoise in Lrc but it takes too long to complete it."
I my experience the processing time is very similar for LR Denoise, DxO Deep Prime or Topaz Denoise/Photo AI.
Before I upgraded my GPU to RTX 4070 it was ~45 sec for any of them, after the upgrade it's 5s.
So, if Lr Denoise is taking too long for the TO, it should be same or at least very similar for the other apps. Provided same performance settings.
@adonetok :
What CPU/GPU are you using?

On my iMac Intel. Topaz Photo AI v1 took 45 seconds. They may have improved performance as it is v3 now. DXO DeepPrime took 25 seconds. DeepPrime XD took 45 seconds. Those were about the same times on my MacBook Air M1 but I'm not sure about recent performance issues. I know DXO also issues with the Silicone chips but it was colour. DXO had a work around pretty quickly but colour is a lot easier to fix.
