Topaz Photo Ai Crack

[Elnora Heidrick]

NewTopaz Photo A.I. is the biggest loser the industry has seen yet, this beats On1 Image Upscaler 2022! This beats Luminar Neo Upscale 2021! This is like meeting Keith Richards, only in a total loser sense, you are like the Keith Richards of Losers in the Photosoftware Industry after this.

Rarely leave reviews but somehow this update was a major downgrade. Have enjoyed almost every update until this one. The AI Remove feature is horrible now. It pixelates everything adjusted. The rendering is taking forever and I have a RTX 4070 TI and an I9 processor. This new interface is not friendly. I honestly hate everything about this recent update. No complaints on this software until 2.4.0. I feel sorry for others using weaker hardware. Is it possible to downgrade back?

It was all straight forward AND QUICK with the various tools in a list on the right and all tools had their parameters on display. Now, in v 2.4.0, everything is hidden until it is opened one by one. It is BLOODY AWFUL.

We appreciate any further feedback or comments about the current v2.4.0, and I would love to share them with our developers. This can give us more insight into what Topaz Photo AI is needed for and, ultimately, what direction we need to take to fulfill the needs of our users.

I agree- it takes forever now. The performance is horrendous. 2.4.0 is a big step backwards in terms of being practically useful. The UI improvements are great but it has to perform reasonably for it be a production-ready UX. It is not.

My experience is the exact opposite of these comments, this version, 2.4.0, runs much faster (100 mega pixel files) than the previous ones for me. And, I love the new interface with what is essentially layers for localized adjustments, I had to run the program multiple times in the past to work different locations to different effect. I hope you can fix the issues others are having without destroying what for me is the best version yet.

However; especially with challenging upscale jobs, I use all the tools together (a DOE of sorts) to hit that magic combination. The subtle effects of certain combinations (both enhance+upscale) are impossible to realize with the new tools which separate upscale from enhancement tasks.

I totally agree. For me it is the most versatile version, with more possibilities for photographic improvement. It is true that I do not work massively in batches, that there are some bugs and that the friendliness of the user interface can be greatly improved, but I have no doubt that it is the way to go and I believe that the Topaz technical team will be able to solve all problems shortly.

Gigapixel has not been updated since January despite still being an active subscription. All the AI updates for size enhancement have gone to Photo, so it makes no sense to pay for a Gigapixel sub if they are not updating it.

However if your needs are to do heavy batching on large photosets, Gigapixel has a much better alternate spreadsheet style interface where you can select subsets of images and set subset of settings then batch them all at once. It also has a better quad algorithm viewer which makes for easier comparison as well as some AI algorithms that did not get carried forward.

Photo is technically still in beta even though they call it release it is not at all a stable product. This is why they frequently offer bundles that you can get all the classic AI programs and bundle in Photo at a much lower cost.

GigaPixel has color noise floor that was removed in Photo AI. Photo AI gives a little more natural result on hifi/std as they dialed back the algorithms for less artifacts. GigaPixel is a more stable tool and a more useable interface especially for large batch jobs. Photo AI has also added a bit more of a depth buffer pop intentionally stretching blurring/sharpening, some like it for 3D photo effect, others dislike it for distorting artistic intent. like it or hate it. Photo AI streamlined to fewer choices for AI algos. Photo AI claim to have updated auto ai/param but think it has gotten worse.

I personally think they should either prorate refund subscriptions if they have no further intent to update but they will probably stick to legalese that did not say how many updates you was entititled too.

Pretty simple. Its called Marketing. And they love the green. Like i said before software companies do this all the time. They head into the field offering 2 or 3 related products then they turn around and combine them and sell an all-in-one. Yet they know they have users still using the old stuff. And they know there are some that wont pay $199 but will pay $99. So they leave them on the table but encourage people to get the bigger all in one package by ONLY offering updates on that one and not the old one. Eventually they switch but in the meantime they sell lots of product to the low tier and the high tier

DenoiseAI and SharpenAI also seem to have been abandoned in favour of PhotoAI, no recent updates for either of these products which is very disappointing since I paid the yearly subscription again to receive new updates. I still like to use these as required and in my opinion they can sometimes do a better job in their respective specialties. Same goes for GigapixelAI.

For some reason the prerelease beta version of Photo AI (which is what brianconnolly is asking about, given the date of his post) could only be installed on one device per qualified account. A qualified account was defined as a user with current licenses of all three apps: Sharpen AI, Denoise AI, and Gigapixel AI.

I think You should log out from your any one seat (1 out of 2 computers).

For that you can go to topazlabs.com & go to your account.

After this you can install Topaz in your 3rd compute, which will be your 2nd seat.

Although I've watched videos and read reviews about Topaz products, I had never actually tried them, remaining faithful to my workflow and not venturing farther afield. I do like software and seeing what it can do with my images, but felt safe with what I currently use. So, what could Topaz Photo AI bring to the table that I couldn't already accomplish?

I'm writing this review from a complete newbie's point of view when it comes to this software, so if you are a current user, you may see things I could improve on or indeed disagree with my findings, but I will say I'm mightily impressed with it.

Don't just take my word for it as there's a free trial of the software on the Topaz website for you to try with your own images. To save them, you have to activate a license, Once activated Topaz Photo AI can be used on two computers as a plugin for Lightroom and Photoshop or as a standalone software and includes a year of unlimited upgrades. With Black Friday sales just around the corner, there is a massive discount of $299 on the retail price, meaning you only pay $159, including a 30-day unconditional money-back guarantee.

These all do exactly what the name suggests and do them very well, extremely well, in fact. For most of my initial experimentation with the software, I used Fujifilm X-T4 raw files, and the difference was clear to see. Results were never too much or overcooked thanks to autopilot, yet there was a substantial improvement in the overall image quality. I wasn't expecting the quality of the upscaled images it produced. I also tested Topaz Photo AI's features on my phone images and camera jpg files, and again it worked flawlessly. So if you want to see how your images can be improved with these features I'd definitely give a go.

The interface is clean and not convoluted, which is a good thing for new users like me. You can engage or disengage any of the features depending on the result you are after, and although I will use it mainly for landscapes, I did try the recover faces option. For some of the higher-ISO or softer faces, it sharpened and improved them considerably. So far, I have only used the software either as a standalone or via a Lightroom plugin using the File>Plug-in Extras option, instead of the Edit in option. The software jumps into action quickly, and after the AI analyzes your images, it provides you with a preview for you to tweak as you see fit. I mainly used the Autopilot mode with only slight tweaks here and there, as the results it provided were surprisingly good.

The Autopilot mode is also configurable via the cog icon, and you can set various preferences depending on your usual genre of photography. I found this useful. It's minimal and straightforward in its approach, though this can be easily changed to suit whatever your images require.

I don't do many astrophotography images, but I remembered I had one fleeting glance of the aurora borealis when in Iceland this year, so what better way to check the denoise function than a shot like this? Again, the software made light work of the noise. The image below is a 100% zoom to let you see the difference it made. Included in the gallery are a few screenshots to let you see how much this software can enhance your images.

A few images took a little longer to save back into Lightroom. This, I'm sure, was due to the complexity of the AI adjustments being made and is not something that would stop me from using the software, because the resulting images were worth it. This was sometimes around 80 seconds for Nikon raw files and not a frustrating amount of time that I've encountered with some programs.

Being really impressed with what Topaz Photo AI could accomplish very easily with landscapes, I had to try it on another few subjects: an image of a crab and an architectural image, both quick snapshots but both improved greatly with Topaz Photo AI. Autopilot scanned and analyzed the images relatively quickly and produced results that I was very happy with considering the original images.

As I mentioned, I used the software as a plugin via Lightroom and so created a global edit to the images. If using it as a Photoshop plugin, it could be used via layers and masks to correct or enhance areas within your images locally.
