Adobe's AI Denoise Tool Put to the Ultimate Test: An ISO 12800 Aurora Shot

There’s a specific kind of dread that hits when you open a raw file the morning after a shoot and realize you were working at ISO 12,800 in near-total darkness. I know that feeling well. It’s the same feeling I had the first time I edited press shots for my band under a single kitchen light with a copy of Lightroom I barely understood. High ISO noise isn’t just an aesthetic problem.
