Used the Demo mode of Topaz Photo AI- two screenshots of my favourite Himalayan Monal with A6400 and 200-600mm SEL.RAW OriginalTopaz Photo AI - RAW Denoise and Sharpen AILooks like a clever bit of software.I have the Older Denoise AI but the Denoise with Photo AI is better.

The AI masking seems to work better than in the Sharpen AI and Noise Reduction AI (I am sure I got at least one of the names wrong, but you know to which products I am referring).   So though I only recently loaded Photo AI onto my laptop, it's going to be a part of my workflow going forward.  Especially if it turns out I can use the ARWs it saves downstream in DxO PL6.CheersMike MPS: If you have a(n annual) subscription to the Image Quality Bundle, Photo AI is free (as in beer).

Just trying some old photographs to see if it brings life into them.🙏

Yes, a standard part of my workflow now. Genius software.Dick

I've been using it for over a year or so. It's been great for recovering bad photos, and cleaning up good photos. I try not to overuse it because it tend to get some artifacts and some situations.

I like what it did to your image - beautiful!I have & I like it for a quick noise/sharpen. I bought Topaz deNoise AI and Sharpen AI last year and the Photo AI came along with them. They've been updating it very regularly.In my last post, I edited in LR and finished (noise/sharpen) in Photo AIhttps://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66910706In this thread, I "think" I sent the RAW images to PhotoAI & then tweaked the DNG in LR.https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66860551Anthony Morganti on youtube has a series of videos on the topaz products including a comparison between PhotoAI & DenoiseAI.

The denoise AI  part where I  edited with Lightroom adjustment was not that clever and direct editing was tedious . The Photo AI maintained the feather features much better.The Lightroom plug-in (plug-in extras) helps the direct RAW editing and coming back to lightroom.

I tried Topaz Photo AI and it was pretty good.I ended up purchasing Skylum Luminar AI then Luminar Neo which I am very pleased with. I can tweak all aspects of my photos quickly and easily.I would reccomend trying the skylum product and see if it is as good or better than Topaz for your uses.https://skylum.com/luminarNo affiliation, just a happy customer.

I will try the Neo if  it makes it all in one place.I still find it difficult to let go of the Adobe Photography subscription.Pankaj

It looks like Image Quality Bundle, which includes DeNoise, Gigapixel and Sharpen AI is on sale for $199, and Photo AI is $199 which I believe also has the same 3 tools in a single program.Is there a benefit to buying the bundle vs Photo AI?

I had all three and have since deleted them and now use only Photo AI, which I got for free for having the others.Dick
