This morning I finally updated Adobe Lightroom to Version 12.3 which includes the new AI denoise functions.
I had already processed the images for my recent snake post using Topaz Denoise, then tried them with the new Adobe function.

Same image, using Lightroom Denoise first, then the same cropping and light adjustments. On this particular image I don’t see much difference in the bigger view.

Cropped from the above images:

However, when you zoom in to the snake details, there is some improvement.

I’m not sure how this is going to play out with my image processing flow. One plus to the Topaz version is the ability to batch process, which I have used a lot.

Looks like a cottonmouth. Very dangerous. We saw one at Cay Creek in Georgia last week but it was on the ground where its suppposed to be. These are great photos.
Not a Cottonmouth. Eastern Ratsnake.
Thanks, William. Ratsnake of some type was what I thought, but my snake ID isn’t too good.
Wow!!! Those are some cool shots!
Thanks!
