![]() I didn’t have this problem with older versions of Topaze DeNoise. But I just updated Topaze DeNoise version 3.0.3 and I have a problem: when I run the noise processing of my photos, there is no change in the final photo compared to the original photo. Here is my problem: I have been using it for some time and I was really happy with it, the noise was really well suppressed. Hello, I would like to talk to people who use Topaze DeNoise. With each software update, the software gets smarter. Even more interesting is that the AI training part of ‘Sharpen AI’ is a continuous process. And it’s making it easier and faster to get top-notch results. Artificial intelligence, or machine learning really, is slowly changing image processing as we know it. I have to admit, I’m a bit of a nerd for a technology like what we find in ‘Sharpen AI’. You can select additional output quality compression too, and a color profile. You can also change the suffix to be added to the file name and convert file format to JPEG, jpeg, TIF, TIFF, PNG and DNG. In the standalone version, we can save output to either the location of the source image or a custom folder in. There are different brush settings available like radius softness and opacity. Then select show at the bottom of the screen to apply sharpening to a certain area or hide to brush away sharpening. This would be a brilliant use for the ‘masking’ tool where you’d be able to ask out these areas and only apply sharpening to the focussed parts.This is done by selecting the brush at the top of the screen. Sharpening these parts leads to all kinds of weird artefacts.And yes artificial intelligence has apparently not caught up with this phenomenon either. But with a shallow depth-of-field, this can leave out-of -focus parts somewhat warped. The stabilised sensor will attempt to keep the focussed part as stable as possible. I’ve noticed, for instance, that using sharpening with images taken with cameras with stabilised sensors can cause strange effects. A mask allows you to apply selective adjustments to parts of the image. We’re used to having masking technology in Photoshop but it’s not that common in plug-ins yet. The most interesting function on the top bar is ‘Masking’. ![]() You’ll have a tack sharp image that won’t need any sharpening when resizing. The ‘Sharpen’ mode machine learning model will correct this softness without adding artifacts or halos. Unfortunately, not all lenses are tack sharp, especially when shooting wide open or with high megapixel cameras. These problems are lens softness, movement and missed focus. There are three different sharpening models, and these relate directly to the most common reasons images are unsharp or blurry at 100%. ![]() This can be annoying since even rendering the preview takes some computing. When Auto-update preview is turned on, ‘Sharpen AI’ will continually update the preview according to the changes you make. Although ‘Sharpen AI’ is optimized for Intel CPU and iGPU’s and you can get up to five times faster processing speeds Intel graphics card of the 6th generation and the higher, we don’t all have those. I should draw your attention to the Auto-update preview switch below the navigator. The navigator allows you to magnify your subject, always a splendid idea when applying sharpening. On your right-hand side, you’ll find the navigator and the process settings. You can also drag-and-drop images from the desktop or folder of your choice. It’s also possible to batch process files, either processing all images with the same settings or individually. Importing images in the standalone versionĬlick open and import single image or multiple images into ‘Sharpen AI’ standalone version. On your right you’ll find the application settings and the top bar includes other interesting features that we’ll talk about later. The main window is largely occupied by a preview of your selected image. The easiest way to see how ‘Sharpen AI’ works is through the application interface itself. Let’s have a look at the interface and go through all the features and functionality. It’s available as a standalone software product or a plugin for topaz Studio, Photoshop and Lightroom. They trained it with millions of images so it could learn two characteristics of detail versus noise. Topaz ‘Sharpen AI’ claims to be the first sharpening and shake reduction software that can tell the difference between detail and Noise. There are many plug-ins and methods for doing this, but Topaz labs have chosen the route of machine learning to get an advantage over competitors. There is also a need to sharpen images for resizing, for instance, for posting to Instagram. As the screens of our PC’s, smartphones and tablets have gotten better and better over time, our image processing had to evolve too to adhere to these new standards.
