It only works with RAW and some DNG files (????that is Adobe's own format) according to the short post I read. Could be that in addition to the latest versions you need to set windows etc in a certain way. I wonder if there is a list of those settings somewhere?

I think later today I will go through updates etc again in case there is something I missed or installed only partially or with corrupted files.

I just tried it. Got the black box and it took a long time to get it.

Your teaching technique is familiar. I taught people how to fly and briefly taught MBA candidates. It always started with, "Here is what we are going to do today...."

There are active topics on two Adobe forums. Changing drivers isn't helping anyone with the black enhanced dng.

I updated to LR Classic CC 8.2 on my iMac (Mojave) and tried a running a few images thru its new "Enhance Details ..." feature. The enhancements were noticeable but not remarkable. IMHO I'd only use this to prepare an image for large prints, if at all. I did notice that the feature transformed my 16MB CR2 images into 64MB DNG files. So use the feature with a definite purpose in mind.

One or two in the Adobe forums are saying ON1 works. I tried (the free) Photoshop Express and it worked. I posted my sucess thinking I would be a hero by hoping I was helping Adobe figure it out.

The reply from Adobe engineering was that outside viewing only sees the base "mosaic portion" of the image and not the enhanced data.

I updated my machine to the latest version of Windows 10, just so I could try this new Lightroom feature.

I tried this feature on two images. The first was an image that I had already edited, in Lightroom. The second was an image with all its edits removed.

Someone mentioned, earlier in this thread, that the DNG files that are created by this Enhance feature are rather large. Indeed, they are. In my case, each of the new DNG files were approximately four times the size of the original DNG files. It also took at least eight minutes to create each one. (My machine is not new, nor is it particularly fast.) After I created the first enhanced DNG file, I started doing some visual comparisons. Lightroom started acting goofy, and terminated. After I created the second enhanced DNG file, I did the same types of comparisons. Lightroom did not behave goofy, this time, and I ended up terminating Lightroom normally.

I inspected the before and after of each of these two test cases. I looked at each pair both in full screen rendering, in Lightroom, and in full resolution jpegs. I'll be damned if I can tell the difference. Adobe says this feature is useful if you intend to create large prints. Maybe so, but I don't really have a way of testing that.

I may decide to try this, again, but I'm not in any real hurry. I'm not really all that anxious to create super huge files that don't show any apparent improvement.

This feature in 8.2 opens and runs perfectly on my totally up to date and powerful Mac. The problem is that it doesn't seem to change anything. I tried it on five different types of shots and I couldn't see any difference even when I pixel peeped. It's not going to be part of my workflow but if I remember it's there I may continue to try it on various shots now and then.

Latest failures:
Went to microsoft for a manual check of Win 10 updates - says I have the latest and greatest (64bit).

Rececked the update at Adobe - again "no updates"

Went to NVIDEA and down loaded latest drivers for my video card and did a "clean install" - still black images

I even tried a RAW file from a different camera (Fuji) - still black but I did get a couple of vague charcoal gray blobs where two peoples faces were in the picture. I tried everything that would effect exposure and no change.

It appears that the shots are processed so underexposed as to produce a nearly 100% black.

I would say that Adobe Sensei AI is a lot of 'A' and not much 'I'. I have been thinking about a video card upgrade, maybe now is the time.

As others have said, and Adobe says, this feature works best with images from newer cameras that have no anti-aliasing filters. It also works best when you are going BIG — really big — with a print.

Coincidentally, I had an image to render for a 30x20 inch print just this morning, so I downloaded and tried the Enhance feature. It made a small improvement, but when you're going from Micro 4/3 at 16 MP to a 30x20, every little bit helps!

Well, my images are from 80D and 5DIV.

All done with the Aug 2018 Windows 10 Update and all is good. The new LR feature works but I can't tell much if any difference.

Can you tell me what your video card is and the driver version? I'm starting to get the feeling that my card is too old and no longer getting driver updates. That might turn out to be an unfixable obstacle.

My computer is a Dell that is about 3 years old now. i7 processor, 4 core, 24GB ram, SSD m.2 NVMe hard drive and a 2GB 7200rpm hard drive. The video is a 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Driver Date 1/3/2018 Version 23.21.13.9065

About a year ago I had trouble getting Adobe products to work after a major Adobe update, so I had Adobe take control of my computer and they installed the latest video drivers. All has worked great since.

Don’t both have AA filters?
