p.1 #1 · June 2026 LRC/PS updates? ... faster Denoise for Mac M with Neural Engine


Several places posted yesterday that LRC and PS have new updates (EDIT .. some time this week).  Adobe is showing nothing YET though. 

Then I saw this snippet on a tech site;
"It also introduces an improved Denoise tool made specifically for Apple silicon Macs, which makes performance up to 3.6 times faster. It also offers a slider that lets users adjust the noise level with no extra processing required."
https://9to5mac.com/2026/06/15/adobe-rolls-out-major-creative-cloud-updates-for-lightroom-premiere-photoshop-more/

DPR has an article though no mention of the Denoise speed.

The slider has been around for the last 1-2 revs. I hope that it's due in a day or so.  I was about to buy a new M5 Macbook Pro but if Denoise is 3.6 x faster I'm not sure I will.


EDITED for clarity. June update due this week some time (I initially read as already released)

I've seen the same thing. I saw a video from an Adobe employee this morning on YT "LR finally gets a feature we've all been asking for" but I didn't watch it. Made me check for updates, though :-)

Might be something new soon.

7.32 mins
Count of ~10 (secs) to Denoise a 48MP NEF. Pretty nice! Finally using the Neural Engine ...

This all sounds good. I’ve been using AI Denoise for some time now, at it is great tool. (It has saved some old high ISO shots that I had write off.)

The slider to adjust the amount of AI Denoise has been there for a while and is a very useful variable. (I would rarely use it at the maximum level.)

But speeding up the process on Mac will help me a lot, especially with 50MP files. (I’m traveling for a few more days and relying on my iPad Pro for light processing, but I’ll be looking for this when I get back to my Mac in a few days!)
