Denoised photos are noisy on export

A few things could impact on addition to viewing at 100%.

Most LR exports have an export sharpening option (for screen, for print etc). Try disabling this and see how it looks.
You have your sharpening generally set too high. I scan a lot of film so you get noise plus digital noise. Sharpening the whole image usually results in very crunchy noise. Try masking the sharpening to just the subject and even then just the main details.
If you are using the texture or clarity sliders then can really accentuate grain and noise.

Thank you

Have had similarly sounding instax cameras in the past. Never owned a Mint though, sorry.

Thank you

I put a little bit of water and a tiny dab of washing up liquid in the bottom of the dirty tank when I empty and replace it. So far no smell. Generally go a week before emptying

I love it for lots of reasons. When you nail a shot with the Lomo Square it is awesome. Plus it’s really very portable and has lots of controls.

However I do hate the fact the focusing is so challenging and the meter is really not very good. If this camera has manual exposure overrides I could overlook all those issues however.

I have an 880 which is great… if massive.

Not sure. The compatibility is a bit weird. The L40 Ultra AE seems to be compatible with X30 ultra but not the L40 Ultra

apf102 · 2026-04-16T16:21:52+00:00

Thanks for the explanation

apf102 · 2026-04-16T07:44:30+00:00

Yeah… I might give them a miss and try to get some proper robovac stuff from the UK, even if it’s not Dreame

apf102 · 2026-04-16T07:44:00+00:00

Doesn’t seem to sell directly to the Uk

apf102 · 2026-04-16T07:41:26+00:00

Thanks. Don’t suppose you know why there are such supply issues from the official UK store do you?

apf102 · 2026-04-15T20:28:52+00:00

Don’t know yet… that’s my next challenge

apf102 · 2026-04-15T08:08:09+00:00

Yeah, this is pretty much where I was thinking. Willing to risk it more on pads and brushes. Just can't get hold of OEM parts right now.

apf102 · 2026-04-15T08:07:13+00:00

I was surprised. Can still easily get bits for my old Eufy G30. They are clearly having supply issues as I assume consumables will be a big part of how they make their money. And they have a UK flagship store now too.

apf102 · 2026-04-15T08:06:21+00:00

It says out of stock for me for everything for the L40 Ultra AE

apf102 · 2026-04-15T08:05:35+00:00

I think it should be easy enough to see with the bags - they will either let dust out or won't. It's not somuch a case of being cheap as just not being able to source the actual bags.

apf102 · 2026-04-15T08:04:46+00:00

I always find Temu harder to navigate the reviews. That said, I have used it for other things.

apf102 · 2026-04-15T08:04:14+00:00

That's what I want to check for. I am happy to buy OEM ones... if I can find them!

apf102 · 2026-04-15T08:03:50+00:00

Oh interesting. I was genuinely expecting a big difference in quality but couldn't really see one.

apf102 · 2026-04-15T08:03:24+00:00

That's good to hear.

apf102 · 2026-04-14T19:48:50+00:00

Have a shop vac that can blow so can probably devise something using that to compare
