![]() ![]() Nothing I've done on my fairly beefy Win 10 system has taken over 10 seconds. Given the memory usage I'm seeing my GPU use, it can be very intensive. I'd look to hear the results of other Mac users of different configurations. I do understand that for some types of graphics operations, the M1 chips are about equivalent to the GTX1050 mobile version, though in other operations, they're way beyond that. I tested an ISO12800 GFX100S photo, and it went from 61MB to 500MB!)Ĭlick to expand.I suspect the sluggish performance you're seeing is due to the nature of the M1 chip and it's graphics optimizations being geared more towards certain video codecs and not necessarily the sort of computational methods for that Adobe has chosen in for their denoise algorithms. (That said, I'd be happy if Adobe managed to compress these files a bit. This is by far the biggest image quality improvement in Lightroom since it launched, and it effectively made all my cameras "jump a generation". Shoot handheld landscapes with my GFX100S at dawn/dusk, without shooting numerous "safety frames".Stop down my X100V when shooting street at night.Keep shooting wildlife or landscapes with my X-T5 as golden hour turns blue.Stop down when shooting low light concerts with my Z9.More than simply improving image quality, I'm now genuinely able to do some things I couldn't do before (without suffering unacceptable noise): That said, I'm thrilled to have this feature integrated into Lightroom! The improvement seems to be roughly three stops no matter the camera. It's only ISO12800+ that starts to cause problems for me.Īdd to that the pain involved in using an external tool in a LR workflow, and I tend to just live with the noise. The kind of images I shoot at high ISO (events, candids, wildlife) aren't the kinds of images I tend to print large, so the grain isn't often visible in my photos even at ISO 6400. I don't mind luminance noise in my photos, generally. ![]() I'm going to wait a generation or two before upgrading any further.really no need to at this point. I did pick up a used Z390 MB and I7-9700K w/32GB of memory for $200 from an acquaintance, swapped in the 64GB memory from previous machine and now my older system is relegated to doing some remote renders and batch operations. No brainer in my book I was originally going to upgrade my older I7-6700K, 64GB system (with 6GB GTX-1660 Super) to a 12th or 13th gen system, but in doing some research on my main applications, it was far better to put money into GPU performance than at the CPU end. In my area, they're going for $700 to $900 depending on model. Given that I've never had a graphics card go bad on me, even in very heavy usage, I'm totally comfortable buying a used one locally, in person.
