Joe94Thank you. It is actually a Nikon z6ii that I’ve just got so this sounds like a good option for me to consider
In your original post you said you only want to change RAW to JPG, you weren't going to do any editing. Is this still true, or have you changed your mind on not doing any editing?
It still seems to me that if you want to find software to change RAW to JPG, perhaps you would be better off just shooting JPG and save some steps and get the benefit from the in-camera processing.

In addition to all the myriad of things it can do, Lightroom's AI button is extremely good. Eight sliders adjusted instantly pretty close to how an expert would do. No one else has anything like as good. Select One or Select All (each frame is individually analysed,) click on Auto and Bob's your uncle:Hello, apologies I think it me confusing matters aha.
When is say changing from a RAW file to JPG, I still would use the sliders in LR etc.. but only the ones under the basic tab, so nothing too complex.
Ideally I still would like to shoot RAW.

AI Auto
It doesn't get any easier than that.
There are two options now available with LrC. Auto is now AI and they call it Sensei. It was trained on thousands of professional edits. Vey usable and a great start point.
Next is ISO Adaptive Presets. You can select t a low and high ISO and for each tweak NR, sharpening and any other thing you can think of for each ISO. While importing LrC will make those adjustments to each individual ISO.
Between those two I can produce a decent looking file in seconds. I once edited a charity shoot and processed about 500 files in just over an hour.

Wow that is pretty impressive! Am I correct in saying LR has a new Denoise Ai thing??In addition to all the myriad of things it can do, Lightroom's AI button is extremely good.

Is the Auto (with Sensei) new? The article you linked to was from 2017.
I use it quite a bit, to get a base level adjustment. I don't like the Vibrance/Saturation changes it makes sometimes. The rest are pretty good.
Just for consistency in the conversations.
Lightroom Classic - LrC. That is the desktop version that requires local file storage. It is impossible to send a file to the cloud. You can sync files to the cloud but that only sends Smart Previews which do not count towards cloud storage. You access those files with another computer or mobile device, edit and those edits will sync back. You can also sync collections to the cloud and download them to your personal website that comes with the plan. I just upload single files from mu desktop to my site.
Lightroom - Lr. That's the CC one you are talking about. CC does exits in the app name anymore. CC stands for Creative Cloud which is the app you download where you can install whatever apps you want to use. Example. There are a bunch more free apps as well.
Lr was introduced in 2018 which is also and desktop app but it automatically sent all your actual files to the cloud. Adobe surprised everyone last fall. Now Lr offers both local and cloud storage options.
The differences.

No. Sensei was introduced with LrC 7. The first year of subscription and is being trained continually. I have a preset that automatically applies Auto to all my files at import. I use Adobe Neutral so the Vibrance/Sat settings may not be as intense but I tweak as needed.

By the way I've never installed Lr. I was never interested in cloud storage and Lr just didn't have enough features for me. Still doesn't.

Denoise Demystified | Adobe Blog
Get a closer look at Denoise, our latest AI-powered feature for Lightroom and Camera Raw, explained by Adobe Fellow and ACR team member, Eric Chan. “From the ACR team” is a blog series that brings you insights directly from the team that builds the imaging features for Lightroom, Lightroom...
blog.adobe.com
This a year old and different developers leap frog each other. A few months ago DXO came out with DeepPrime XD2 for PureRaw only. PL7 does not have it but PL8 will. We are all hoping for some improvements to Adobe Denoise AI in a ew months with the fall release of v14.
Two things Adobe did do. With the v13 release it out the DNG file by ⅔. Much better, With v13.4 it corrected the neural engine big that affected the Mac silicone M chip so NR processing times are faster.
I use masking to further remove background noise if needed. I'll mask the background and reduce Texture/Sharpening and add more NR. I can completely wipe out background noise if I want to. DXO might be faster but not as much fun as I have doing it myself. Steve shows that here.

Many of us have been bugging Adobe for AI Noise Reduction for years. It is here and it works great:Wow that is pretty impressive!

I would start there and then decide if you want to try Lr. Actually Adobe does or did not recommend to install both LrC and Lr not the same device. Both want to be the boss. That being said people do it. I don't how but I'd ask before proceeding.
Scroll down to Can I use Lr and LrC together. I may have errored on the don't install both not the same device. It's about syncing and an area I know very little about.

As I said with LrC you can sync Smart Previews to the cloud. He talks about this in the first 4 minutes. Lightroom Mobile is not Lr we have been talking about that you install on your desktop. It is a specific mobile app.
Nice. Here is one at 51200. I did open masking, and masked the sky to get rid of more more noice.Many of us have been bugging Adobe for AI Noise Reduction for years.
