To learn more about how to use Topaz Photo AI, and all it's features, check out this video next;

So every time I try to use this program as a plugin in light room, it comes up with this huge error message. I uninstalled the program but I know there were a few files that I needed to trash also but I cannot remember where I find them on my MAC. Anyone know.

Fabulous demonstration 😊 I have Photo Ai as well as the stand alone units. I only use photo Ai now because I read somewhere that Topaz had stopped updating the individual units therefore Topaz photo Ai maybe even better at sharpening than Topaz Sharpen if that is true.

Thank You!

I am new to this Topaz software. Does Photo AI includes sharpen, Enlargement, Noise Reduction and Face Recovery or I have to buy individual DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI, Gigapixel AI? Thank you for your time.

Topaz is a suite of programs I always have at my disposal in my post processing. It's saved a ton of images. You didn't explain the advantages however, of trying out some of the OTHER settings as the simply blurry settings aren't always the best way to go. I often prefer the Motion Blur options as it provides even better micro sharpening and is easily adjusted to taste. Yeah, Topaz is way beyond anything Adobe offers to say the least.

The couple+umbrella image is quite badly sharpened, the teeth have now some black lines in them, which would be a pain to remove in photoshop. Also the video feels a lot like a sponsored one coz you keep repeating "has applied its AI technology". You also don't compare it to other sharpening/noise removing tools, like the one included in Lightroom itself or Photoshop.

Good afternoon. Excellent video to show the capabilities of this tool. I'm strongly considering buying this, and your video pushes me further to do so. Two questions: (1) for the couple walking in the rain, when you sharpened and showed the close-up, it appeared as if there were some artifacts or something irregular about the teeth of both. Is that "normal" or is further post-processing required (and what would that be)? (2) I'd like to see a video or something that shows us the limitations of Topaz Sharpening to "level-set" and manage expectations for buying the product. How bad can a photo be before sharpening is just a wish? In other words, how do we manage sharpening expectations before Topaz sharpening?

I think it's a very flawed tool, it still has a long way to go to be perfect.

All I will say is I shoot weddings for a living! I took 4 shots of the same scene - perfect on camera lcd imported to LR and was like wtf then I tried image No 2 and 3 etc I was like you are joking me how did my camera mess up? Ok so it was dark but I still focused and heard the “in focus beep” applied sharpening and denoise via Lightroom - still no joy - did I want Photo AI no as I thought I’ll never need it that was until today! When I said I wonder will it work for even one of the images - let’s just say “client won’t have a clue” if you zoom in to much of course it won’t look as sharp but from zooming in X1 on the original image to say that’s blurred to now being able to zoom in X4 before you go “hmm yeah could be a tiny bit sharper” to me that’s paid for itself with just one image! Honestly the hype is real! and hello from Ireland! :)

it looks interesting but not enough to justify handing over 150€.
