SoI decided to run a comparison test on the single image that you see below, with the intention of ending up with four images that will show you the difference between not using any noise reduction at all, using Nik Define, using Topaz DeNoise and using Topaz DeNoise A.l. Clear (an even more sophisticated version of DeNoise whose results vary whereas the standard DeNoise applies the same level of noise reduction for each image).

My personal opinion based on the results above is that Topaz DeNoise was by far the most effective in reducing the noise in the image above and by a large margin, especially when compared to my current noise reduction plug in, Nik Define. As such, I shall be purchasing the Topaz DeNoise for 65.00 immediately as I genuinely believe that it will benefit my editing process, especially as there appears to be no loss of sharpness and definition in the image too.

You can try the Topaz DeNoise editing software free of charge for yourself for 30 days and for those interested, I have no affiliation with Topaz or their products.

Do you use Lightroom by any chance Melvin? I was wondering if I could install Topaz so that it works as a plug-in, in the same way as the Nic ones do? I would expect Topaz will have designed it so that this would be possible.

Thanks,

Mick

Video AI Pro builds on Topaz Labs' pioneering, proprietary Video AI tool, which is trained on millions of frames to upscale, stabilize, and denoise content. With the ability to upscale to 24k resolution, the result is smooth, sharp and steady cinema-level visual quality.

The new solution specifically maximizes throughput on multi-GPU systems from graphics processors by AMD, Apple, Intel and Nvidia to achieve speeds at two, three, ten times faster and beyond. Coupling unparalleled enhancing with unrivaled speed, Video AI Pro fills a gap in the growing demand for enterprise-ready AI tools not currently on the market today.

Video AI Pro allows teams to improve video using AI models that run completely offline with local processing, keeping media secure. Additionally, content edited in Video AI Pro is not used for any AI model training and never leaves the organization's servers. Users can deploy the platform as an on-premises local render farm, or run within an AWS Outpost for an optimal blend of security and access. Users have the option to render in parallel and expedite exports by sending separate files to each GPU, or focus on the most important rushes by automatically splitting a single file across multiple GPUs.

Video Al Pro benefits creative studios as organizations are given a license to use its output in movie theaters, premium streaming services, and broadcast television. Users can utilize these output opportunities all while retaining full ownership of the media processed through the platform.

"With concerns of AI threatening creatives in the entertainment industry, enhancement teams need tools that both empower them to improve quality in ways previously impossible, and maintain fidelity to the studio's original artistic vision," said Topaz Labs CEO Eric Yang. "Since our first AI model in 2018, Topaz Labs championed the belief that AI should enhance, not replace, creatives' existing work. With Video AI Pro, large post-production teams can upscale and refine feature-length films more quickly and effectively than ever before."

Video AI Pro is available in three annual licensing packages depending on customer team size. For an individual, an entry-level package is offered for $1,099. For organizations with five to 10 users, Video AI Pro Teams starts at $4,999 and features administrative and permission controls. For larger teams, Video AI Pro Enterprise allows organizations to work directly with Topaz Labs to develop custom models and workflows, with pricing based on engagement level. In keeping with Topaz Labs' commitment to its user base, all Video AI Pro customers will receive priority support directly from the teams that created Video AI.
