![]() ![]() If that is going to be the case it will need some better manual control options. My anxiety is that this suggests a future path where PhotoAI replaces the individual plugins. If I had purchased Photo AI I would be feeling disappointed but I must credit Topaz with giving a free licence to those with a current upgrade licence to the Image Quality Bundle. I am happier with the control the individual plugins give me. Because it spends time identifying the subject and looking for faces (which my bird images don’t have) it seems slow compared using the individual plugins without subject selection enabled. In summary, after a brief trial my feelings are that Topaz Photo AI for me adds nothing that I can’t achieve with the individual plugins.

If you have a current licence for the Topaz Image Quality Bundle (DeNoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel) this includes a free licence to Photo AI. Standard is usually fine but at times one of the others will be better for the specific image. For the Topaz plugins I use the Comparison view which lets me compare 4 different AI models. I have not used the masking feature built into the plugins much, usually using the Photoshop select and mask option which I find mostly quick and accurate. At times, especially for motion blur, I will add in Sharpen AI specifically masked to the areas needing adjustment. I have found DeNoise AI at it’s default setting usually provides a very good noise reduction with gentle sharpening. I use them through a Photoshop action which applies them to a separate layer which I then mask. To date my experience with Topaz plugins has been largely with DeNoise AI and Sharpen AI. ![]() This is largely a product combining the features of Topaz DeNoise AI, Topaz Sharpen AI and Topaz Gigapixel AI into a single plugin that uses an Autopilot option to analyse an image, select the subject and automatically apply corrections for noise and sharpening and can also upsize an image if needed.
