When you want a still image to look better – and want control over what “better” means – Topaz Labs Topaz Photo AI is a great tool to add to your toolkit. I manage a library of tens of thousands of still images dating back to the mid-1800’s. I found this demo to be essential in learning and evaluating the software. The free trial is a fully-enabled version of the software with all tools working, but doesn’t save. But it does a remarkable job restoring textural details, like the lace in a woman’s dress or the texture in a man’s suit, which I illustrate below. It isn’t perfect for example, it has problems with some details, like fingers. Rendering and saving the same queue on Intel Macs takes less than a minute. NOTE: Based on recent testing, it takes less than 20 seconds to render and save a queue of four images on M-series Macs. It never changes the source image, always creating new images with the enhancements applied. It rarely takes more than three seconds to generate a preview. On M-series Macs the software is fast and fluid. Even better, key settings such as noise removal and sharpening have sliders which can be tweaked to improve results on a picture by picture basis. The Autopilot (default) settings are excellent. Reduces image noise (but not dust and scratches).It is fast, easy to use and creates excellent results. This stand-alone software tool: Topaz Photo AI, from Topaz Labs, improves still images. There’s an app in the Mac App Store called “Photo AI.” This is not the same thing and should be avoided. The folks at Topaz Labs graciously sent me a short-term license so I could review the full app for you.ĬAUTION: This app needs to be purchased from the Topaz Labs website. The more I use it, the more impressed I am with it. Topaz Photo AI works magic with still images.
