![]() 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.
