Today’s Question: As a follow-up to your answer about Denoise, why is the Raw Details checkbox disabled when I enable Denoise?
Tim’s Quick Answer: When you use Denoise in Camera Raw or Lightroom, the Raw Details feature is enabled automatically and can’t be turned off.
More Detail: Raw Details is an option that enhances existing detail in the image. It is automatically enabled when you use either Denoise or Super Resolution. That is why the checkbox is disabled (but turned on) whenever you enable Denoise or Super Resolution.
You can also use Raw Details as a standalone feature if you are not using Denoise or Super Resolution for an image. However, based on my testing the Raw Details feature has very minimal impact on a photo when you’re not using either Denoise or Super Resolution.
