This morning I got a Lightroom Classic update notice. It goes from 8.1 to 8.2 Other than the usual new cameras and fixes it has a new menu choice in the Photo menu. It is "Enhance Details".
It won't work on my machine because mine is still running Windows 1803. Adobe says I need 1809 "Fall Update".
Adobe describes this as, "Achieve crisp detail and improved color rendering in raw images that is powered by Adobe Sensei. Introduced in the February 2019 release of Lightroom Classic (version 8.2) and powered by Adobe Sensei, Enhance Details produces crisp detail, improved color rendering, more accurate renditions of edges, and fewer artifacts. Enhance Details is especially useful for making large prints, where fine details are more visible. This feature applies to raw mosaic files from cameras with Bayer sensors (Canon, Nikon, Sony, and others) and Fujifilm X-Trans sensors."
Anybody got the Windows Fall Update that can try this? Does it work?

I haven't tried it yet however I watched an extensive video on the feature offered by Ben Wilmore. He indicates that if your camera has an anti alias filter that this new feature will basically do nothing. The feature builds a dng file (quite large, about double your raw file size), requires a pretty hefty high memory video card to perform well and that the improved detail would be most noticeable deeper into your scene and less so where the focus is crisp in the foreground elements. Based on this video I suspect most of us will have very little use for this feature...
