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.

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.

<p>Switch it on with <code>Apply</code>. The photograph keeps showing as it was while
the network works, with its progress in the bar at the top, and changes
when it is done — a few seconds on a computer with a graphics card, about
fifteen on its processor alone, longer on the tablet. <code>Keep grain</code> puts
back some of what was removed, as grain without colour, for a picture that
does not look too smooth.</p>

<p>The photograph shows the camera's ordinary conversion while the network
works, with its progress in the bar at the top, and changes when it is
done — a few seconds on a computer with a graphics card, about
fifteen on its processor alone, longer on the tablet. The result is kept,
so a photograph opened again, or exported, does not wait a second time.
<code>Strength</code> eases it off: below 100 % it puts back some of what was removed,
as grain without colour, for a picture that does not look too smooth.</p>
