Thevram requirements for the quality recovery mode are not super strict. I have a 6GB gpu and even though I get that message, the recovery still runs on the gpu. You have to make sure that other programs are not consuming vram though. So you might struggle to run it at the same time as Photoshop, for example. I recall that 8GB is the recommended minimum.

Hi

I have had problems with AI Gigapixels. I have the minimum requirements.

I just looked at the requirements for this program and now it has a warning about using with NVIDIA GEFORCE.

( Unsupported Graphics Cards - Intel NVIDIA AMD )


Unless you are making very large pictures, 4GB will do. I have 4GB on my GPU and have never had an issue and it should not affect speed. I use and recommend a Radeon RX580 as the best bang for the dollar but if you have the money get the Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti.


I have yet to update to AIG v4 mainly because I have been concerned about the almost beta level issues being raised. Possibly groundless but the one reported about much slower processing in v4 compared v3 puts me off the update for now???


Hi

Thanks for the response.

Since it states now that Nvidia Geforce is unsupported, and use CPU only with that graphic card, should I buy NVidia for the new computer (and use CPU) or look at alternates.

Such a dilemma, since NVIDIA is highly recommended for photo post treatment processing.

Thx again


Thank you

I took it as not supported and that even with minimum or maximum requirements I would need to use CPU, not GPU. That notice was not there when I bought AIG. I ran it once, then it would not run. Not sure why.

But I want to have a good graphics card with a new computer, so I was seeking advice.

Thanks again

Susan


Susan, I gave you good advice and you want to use a good graphics card not the CPU for the Topaz AI products. The two cards I recommended will out perform the GTX 1050 Ti. If you get a totally new computer get a Ryzen 5 2600X CPU and choose one of the two GPUs i recommended. You also should have a SSD ( a NVMe M.2 is best) for your drive. You can get the RX580 with 8GB of VRAM and since prices have dropped in the US, I would recommend the extra memory.


You bring up a good point, if an upgrade is made a new power supply may be needed. Should be 600W or more and have the 8 pin GPU connector (usually a 6 + 2 pin). I build my own computers so its easier to select components.


Using the power of machine-learning AI technology, Video Enhance AI is trained on thousands of videos and combines information from multiple input video frames. It can enlarge your video up to 8k resolution with true details and motion consistency. For example, you can upscale SD video to HD or even 4K resolution.


Mac minimum requirements: 8GB or more RAM, 2GB of VRAM. MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) to run on CPU only. MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer to run on GPU. This gives the best performance.

Full M1 native support for all M1 machines in version 2.5 and higher.


Sure you can! You can load several videos simultaneously into Video Enhance AI. All of them can be assigned with different settings including output size, upsample scale, output format, model utilized and etc. Then with a single click on the process button, they will all be processed in sequence.


Here is an example. On a PC with Nvidia GTX 1080. For a video from HD to 8K, it typically takes 2-3 seconds for each frame. If you upscale a video from SD to HD, it will take about 0.4 seconds for each frame.


Yes. You can put a sequence of images of the same name format into one folder and then load in any one of the images into Video Enhance AI. Please make sure that the name of the images should end with several sequential number digits. An example: MyFrames000000.png, MyFrames000001.png, MyFrames000002.png, ...


This is normal. The GPU utilization in the task manager is not precise. If you want to track the actual GPU usage, please try Nvidia-smi. You can also increase the amount of GPU usage in the app by going to Process > Preference and increasing the AI Resources Demand


For Mac M1: The M1 chip has a built-in Neural Engine. The Neural Engine is designed to accelerate machine learning tasks across the Mac for things like video analysis, voice recognition, image processing, and more. Right now you will not be able to accurately track CPU or GPU usage.


First, if you are new to Topaz Labs, create an account on the Topaz Labs My Account Page. Next, simply download Video Enhance AI from the Topaz Labs Downloads Page, log in using your account information, and select "Start Trial" to begin your free 30-day trial.


No. This is a difficult computer science problem to solve, but we do our best to make the results nearly identical. Whenever possible. If you do notice any aberrations between operating systems, please Open a Ticket in the Support Center.


I recently tried the trials of the new Topaz AI programs, but discovered there was no way my PC with 8Gb memory and i5 proccessor was going to cope with the very high requirements of these programs, so I unistalled them all.


I now find they are still listed in the Photoshop effects menu. I have looked everywhere - in all Common Files folders both x86 and x64. Plugin folder in Photoshop, all through Program Data. I cannot find them anywhere, so cannot delete.


Photoshop Plug-in are normally installed into Adobe Photoshop version Plug-in folder. Check each Photoshop version you have install plug-in folder for any Topaze plug-in. I do not is install Topaz plug-ins so I do not know exactly how they are installed or where there are installed into,


Then search your disk for all files that have Topaz file names. If they are still listed as installed they are on you disk or SSD somewhere. I stated I do not install their software so I have no idea where they install their files or how they hook then into Photoshop. File explorer search topaz at least. Also look at your Photoshop menu Help>System Info. See where they are listed in there optional and third party.


The entire submission must be submitted online by September 15, 2024 at 5pm EST. through the AIA. For detailed submission requirements please refer to the AIA Honors and Awards webpage.

Getting it right in camera is definitely the best thing to do. If you can correctly light, compose, and white balance your footage and images, then you're probably going to have an easier time. However, there are situations when the lighting just isn't working or you need to capture footage in less-than-ideal situations. In those situations, use Topaz Labs. Right now, they're having a Holiday sale.


AI editing software has dramatically improved over the last few years, going from being a strange curiosity to now becoming almost a requirement in many people's workflows. For instance, in my workflow, I am using Topaz Sharpen for virtually every single image that I edit.


I find that the results from Sharpen AI tend to be especially good if you switch off any sharpening that is applied from Capture One or Lightroom. The great thing about Sharpen AI is that not only does it enhance details in the image, but it also removes many issues relating to noise. This software has saved so many images that I have shot in less-than-ideal situations.


Many events that I attend tend to have terrible lighting for photography, and bouncing flash in these crowded events is inappropriate. The sharpening software, along with its ability to remove noise, has been a godsend for my workflow. However, this software only works for photographs, and I shoot a lot of video too.


Topaz Labs consistently manages to do several things really well, and one of those things is the interface. The user experience and how people interact with your software can make or break your software. This is why I'm pleased to report that the Video AI software is incredibly easy and straightforward to use.


You're greeted with the above screen when you first open the software. The clear "Browse" button helps you find the clip you need to work on, or you can simply drag and drop any clip into the window. Once a clip has been chosen and imported into the software, the operations panel appears on the right-hand side of the screen.


The great thing about the software is that it doesn't really require any tutorials or any kind of guide for you to understand how it works. It's incredibly intuitive, with all the available features listed on the right. Depending on what you need, you can quickly select the options required.


For instance, the first dropdown menu contains a list of popular presets, which will likely serve most requirements. The presets include 4x slow motion, upscale to 4K resolution, or convert a clip to 60 frames per second.


If you prefer to use certain features in a more controlled manner, then you can go down the list of features to select what operation you'd like carried out on your video clips. The features of the software include the ability to slow down video clips even if they were not shot at a high frame rate, upscale the resolution all the way up to 8K, stabilize video clips, and enhance video detail by improving sharpness and reducing noise.


You also have the ability to choose what your output file format is going to be, from ProRes to H.265. What's clear is that the software interface is simple and easy enough for virtually anyone to use without any training or great practice.


Although most cameras that have been released in the last few years can shoot 4K video to at least a reasonable standard, we are slowly but surely starting to move towards 8K resolution video. This is highly unlikely to happen in the next few years; however, preparing for this eventuality even with a few small steps today is probably a good idea. Purchasing an 8K-capable camera may not be in everyone's budget; however, inexpensive software such as Video AI from Topaz might be.
