Topaz Photo AI Review NOTE: Sept 2023. Topaz have just released V2 of this tool. Read the Topaz Photo AI V2 review. This is Topaz's flagship photo enhancing product. It is a combination of their three class leading AI tools, Gigapixel AI, DeNoise AI and Sharpen AI. I have reviewed these many times, and they [...]
Introduction There are only two contenders in the noise wars (IMHO) – DXO Photo Lab and Topaz DeNoise/Photo AI. These two have class leading image noise reduction and I have reviewed them numerous times. Towards the end of 2022, both DXO and Topaz issued new versions of their products. DXO released Photo Lab 6 with [...]
This is an interesting time of year for Topaz Labs. October is often the month where photo software houses, such as Exposure and DXO, release their 'major updates' to their flagship products. We already know that Exposure X6 is coming. I have no news about DXO Photo Lab 4, but I expect something along those [...]

One question recently raised on Topaz’s forums was whether the Topaz AI was really that good. Some went as far as saying the products were not much better than Photoshop. Others said they were too expensive. As a photographer, these comments surprised me. I only use products that work and have no particular loyalty to [...]
The guys at Topaz Labs have just released an update to the best image noise reduction program I have ever tested - Denoise AI. This is a free upgrade for existing owners (bravo!) and is currently for sale at a reduced price of $59.99 from now until 7th February 2020. DeNoise AI - What's New? [...]
Topaz AI Clear has long been one of my favourite 'image finishers' - it performs two excellent operations: it removes any noise and it clarifies and sharpens the image. Despite the new DeNoise AI, I've continue to use AI Clear (part of the Topaz Studio suite). Today, I compared DeNoise AI with AI Clear, to [...]
Topaz Labs have just issued a fascinating blog post comparing the Denoise AI product to other class leading noise reduction programs. Is this just a carefully chosen image, well suited to Denoise AI's processing or are they onto something here? So I took my own, noisy, photo. Unlike Topaz's it was in daylight, and taken [...]
