From c343ac79d39d21959db1de8a017dade940f05146 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duncan Tourolle Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2026 22:18:15 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Describe AI Denoise in the manual as it now is On for every raw, at the top of the Adjust panel, kept once computed, and eased off with Strength rather than Keep grain. The timing line is left as it was; the new model's measured figure replaces it when that branch lands. The animation still shows the Keep grain slider and wants recording again. --- docs/manual/README.md | 24 +++++++++++++----------- docs/manual/index.html | 24 +++++++++++++----------- 2 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/manual/README.md b/docs/manual/README.md index 4b368be..3c12da2 100644 --- a/docs/manual/README.md +++ b/docs/manual/README.md @@ -207,18 +207,20 @@ the sensor recorded. ### AI denoise -For a photograph taken in poor light at a high ISO. `AI Denoise`, in the -Detail group, replaces how the camera's raw data is turned into colour: a -network trained on this library's own photographs removes the noise and -the blotches of colour that come with it, while keeping the fine detail. -Look at it at 1:1, where noise lives. +How every raw is developed. `AI Denoise`, at the top of the Adjust panel, +replaces how the camera's raw data is turned into colour: a network trained +on this library's own photographs removes the noise and the blotches of +colour that come with it, while keeping the fine detail.
