I'm trying to speed up my wedding processing using batch, but it's making things as time consuming trying to figure out what's wrong!

In Lightroom I'm selecting all my noisy images and taking them to Photoshop to edit. In Photoshop I've made an action to run Noiseware, I'm then running the batch action and trying to save each file but 1 of 2 things happen, both not what I want (or am expecting).

1 of the issues is that the files save, but don't stack with the originals in Lightroom, so I then have the time consuming task of stacking them all. The second issue (depending on how I sort the save action) is that the images are saved to a single file name.

All I want is to run this very basic action and for the images to save with the same file name as the original, and stack with the original in Lightroom; can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
 
Are you using lightroom 4.1?
If so I think it has a stacking bug.

As a short-term solution, why not use LR's own NR, I rarely ever use it as I like grain, but when I have tried it, it works well.
 
Nah, I'm using Lightroom 3.3. I prefer Noiseware as it does a better job of removing the noise and not smudging the entire image.
 
Do them one at a time. (I never ever Batch noise) YES it takes longer, but you get a better image in the end.
Get Topaz Denoise if you can afford it. It's a Great Denoiser. Mind you, Lightrooms and Photoshops noise is Quite Good if used correctly. Plenty of uTube vidoes that show you how it is done. Google is your friend.
Good Luck
