![]() I have tried about 4 different version updates with technical support but it just will not run - I get an error and Photoshop closes. One problem I do have with Topaz DeNoise AI is that I cannot get it to run at all with Photoshop so I cannot do selective noise reduction. ![]() I use also noiseware from imagenomic, which is quite interesting if you want to balance perfectly a classical algorithm of noise reduction, you can adjust the algo function of frequency, channels, etc. A lot of less than Topaz AI tech.Ĭaptureone seems not bad neither at this game. ![]() Different algorithms, different pipelines, different technologies.ĭxo Prime makes also a very good job in raw domain, with very few artifacts. But will Lightroom (or Photoshop) do exactly the same job if I practise more with it ? I have had a trial of Topaz DeNoise AI and find the results are very good and better than I can achieve with Lightroom. So it depends on what's the priority for you, avoiding artifacts, or reducing noise at a minimum. But you can use it in combination.īoth have denoising artifacts, Topaz software suffers of more artifacts, but sometimes offers a very good advantage in noise reduction. Topaz denoise only works for edited pictures, not raw pictures. However, LR algorithm is a bit old, and does not use the most recent or advanced technologies as Topaz or dxoPrime. But LR works in raw domain, where it is the most efficient, close to demosaicing. Topaz denoise is sometimes better than LR. Thanks for your questions.A quick question, is the noise reduction in Topaz DeNoise AI actually better than Lightroom's or is it just easier to use? I recommend you get a free trial of one of the plugins and try it out to see how it works. When you’re finished, the altered image will be in Lightroom for you. But a lot of people simply go from Lightroom and open a photo with one of the plugins. In that product, you’ll be able to use all of the plugins within one interface. Topaz also has a new product that is in Beta right now called Topaz Studio. You can do this without using layers though. Sometimes I will then make a copy of that layer and apply a second Topaz plugin to that layer. What I usually do is all the processing I can in Lightroom, then I open the photo in Photoshop Elements, make a copy of the background layer, and then use one of the Topaz plugins on that layer. I actually hardly ever use Photoshop unless I’m using it for the purpose of the topaz plugins! I am just in the habit of using photoshop elements with plugins because I like how the layering works in PSE. I wouldn’t say that Topaz is a replacement for Photoshop, but you can do things more easily in Topaz because of all the built in presets. But these are all things that you either cannot do in Lightroom at all, or you can do it a lot better and more efficiently with the Topaz plugins. Hi Allan, that’s right, if I could do it in Lightroom, I probably would because I love Lightroom. Remember, you can pick up a free trial of the Topaz Collection, or any of the individual plugins, and give them a try before you buy. There are a few presets for subtle changes, some for more dramatic effects, some painterly effects, and even some Black and White effects. The reason that I like it is because it has a little of everything. Topaz Adjust – this is where I started and the plugin I still recommend for anyone just getting started with Topaz. Read my review on Topaz B&W Effects If you’re only going to buy one Topaz B&W Effects – you’ll get a lot more than black and white too! Processed with Topaz B&W Effects. ![]() Topaz Impression – if you like painterly effects, you’ll be impressed with this one. Topaz Texture Effects – the easiest way to create beautiful images with texture overlays Processed with Topaz Texture Effects Topaz ReStyle – offers dramatic colour adjustments that give your image an entirely new look and feel Processed with Topaz Restyle Read my review on Topaz DeNoise If you like more dramatic adjustments Topaz DeNoise will remove noise from the less detailed parts of your image while leaving the detailed areas sharp. Topaz DeNoise – if you’ve been looking for the best way to remove noise in your photos this is it. Topaz Clarity – gives subtle adjustments to colour, contrast and clarity that make your photos pop Processed with Topaz Clarity There’s so much to choose from! Here are my recommendations: If you like subtle adjustments The Complete Collection includes 17 different plugins that you can use in conjunction with Lightroom, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or PhotoFXlab.īut if you’re not ready to go all in with the Complete Collection, you might be wondering which plugins you should get. The thing I love about Topaz Plugins is that they cover everything you would want to do with your images from subtle adjustments that make your photos pop to some not-so-subtle impressionist, HDR and texture effects.
