Photoshop 2025 Best HIDDEN Feature

An update to the Denoise feature is hidden, but it's VERY good.

Quick update. As per the previous version, this will ONLY work with Raw files. Adobe have not yet supported jpeg, tif, etc.
ALSO, the Denoise function has issues with compressed or “small” Raw files. I believe it only works of FULL Raw files. I’ll test this out and do a follow up video.

Nicely explained, thank you. One thing I don't seem to find now is I can't zoom in tightly to see specific sections of my raw photo after I used Denoise.

Outstanding update to cover. Thank-you for the calm methodical examples. New subscriber looking forward to going through your videos. Mostly an EM1X user for wildlife, and S1R user for everything else, noise is the only issue with these cameras for me at 1600 and above.

Thanks for sharing this new feature. Step in the right direction. Agree on the super rez function. Would love to see Adobe do a lot more on sharpening. I'm not happy Topaz. You can sometimes get ok results with the old legacy sharpening or smart sharpen. But Adobe could do a lot in that arena.

Great video, but my upgraded 2025 workspace is different to yours, ie it does not have a 'cog' on the topright hand corner. I needed to use the search to access the deniose function. I am using Mac M2 Sonoma.

I have updated PS and LR to the newest, and clicked on the AI square like your video says. Then rebooted and reloaded. But when I load a raw file (.CR3 from Canon), and click on the Filter>camera raw filter, the camera raw program comes up, but under the Detail option on the right side, no "denoise" option is available. It is as it has always been. No denoise at all. What am I doing wrong?

Great video, thx! Are you using Camera RAW standalone or inside of Photoshop? Secondly, after restarting PS, does the Denoise function still create a separate DNG file? And third, what is the preferred workflow assuming LRC is your baseline app?

It's good, but still not as good as DxO PureRaw4, on my iso 12800 test image.

You can sent your raw image from LR to photoshop as a smart object. Then you can use PS ACR on the file.

[jameshumphries]

Does not work using ACR Filter using M2 Silicon. Only way is to use Open as Smart Object in Photoshop so can use native ACR. ACR Filter Plug in is still a vector based editing program.

I am not seeing this on my system I have the new 2025 version and use Windows

Theres nothing massive about what Adobe have released this year on all their products at Adobe Max, in fact I`ve seen many other photographers refer to it all in one word, `underwhelming`!

Actually, Lightroom had the Denoise feature for a while, and you could also see in real time if you change the amount of denoising. Perhaps it's the other way around. And it is AI driven.
