That was all that was needed, and batched through the whole thing in half an hour or so. Except for gnarly noise, they were otherwise fine, so I tried true and trusty DeNoise AI. It did a fine job but took a long time and I had 160 images to finish. Processing, I culled down to the keepers and took one into Photo AI. I have a flash and know how to use it, but I hate the look and would rather tame some noise than destroy the look of the ambient. Huge room, hundred or more people, entertainers, speeches, awards. I shamelessly shoot at 6400 and higher when needed, and I use half-frame APS-C cameras so things can get a little noisy. I am impressed with all of them, but I only use Photo AI when I need what it offers, It is indeed an amalgam of the earlier three, but it has some issues yet, one being that it is doing so much at once that it's slower. Personally, I like retaining the control that DeNoise AI gives me. If Photo AI comes out on top, does it make DeNoise AI entirely redundant? And if DeNoise AI wins, does it mean Topaz Labs has wasted its time on the new Photo AI? Give the video a look and let me know your thoughts. Whatever the result, you can only deduce that there must be some form of cannibalization going on. It's a fascinating experiment, simply because it's putting a company's products up against each other. That brings us to this great video by Anthony Morganti, in which he puts the new Photo AI up against DeNoise AI, to see which one works better at noise removal. It sounds amazing, but how does it compare when used against its own individual products? Very recently, however, Topaz Labs released Photo AI, which is an all-in-one software that removes noise, sharpens, and increases resolution with a single click. If you bought them as a bundle, you still had to use them independently of each other. You could (and still can) buy them all separately, or buy them as part of a bundle. The first two are self-explanatory in what they do, while Gigapixel AI adds resolution to an image, which can really help if you want to print an image at large sizes. Until a short time ago, Topaz Labs' products were separate, in that you had DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI, and Gigapixel AI. Photoshop knows where they are since they can be called, but I have not found them.If you're not familiar with Topaz Labs' editing products, for a long while now they've been up towards the top of the tree for correcting noise in an image and sharpening as well. Of course they are somewhere, but perhaps they do not have the. In fact if you click on the “Open Default Folder in Finder” button in AP you are taken to an obscure folder in the AP container for plugins and presumably if you copy the plugins to that folder they will be recognized, but I can not find either the Sharpen AI or Denoise AI plugins anywhere on the system. Sure, but I am working on a Mac and those entries are not visible on the Mac at the expected location. > On windows simply point to the locations through the Preferences, Plugins and they become available in the Affinity, Filters, Plugins menu: At the least there are no binaries that have the “plugin” suffix. That is the first place I looked, and the TopazLabs folder is there, but no plugins for either Sharpen AI or Denoise AI. > you need to choose the System Library/Application Support/Topaz Labs/ location Why the difference between how it operates when called by Photoshop and when called by Affinity Photo? I have done that many times using Photoshop, but the Studio plugin, when called from Affinity Photo, does not even display the Plug-in command. Studio, when called as a plugin, can and does call other Topaz plugins. I do not understand what you are saying here. Simply put plugins cannot call plugins.
