p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Free Topaz Photo AI with Image Quality Bundle purchase

Hi all,

I was able to get Topaz Photo AI for free when I purchased the Image Quality Bundle (DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI & Gigapixel AI). I think this is a great deal for the current price of $199. This allows me to use the functionality together within Photo AI or separately with each app if I want more control the individual apps provide.

Just letting people know in case they are interested in these products.

I would look at it the other way, look at it like you just bought Photo AI for $199 (currently $159 on their site) and got the other plugins thrown in for free...

I haven't seen DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI or Gigapixel AI receive an update in months and Topaz have told me (and others) that these apps are being phased out as Photo AI is the future...

That's too bad... I ended up with Photo AI the same way as the OP did, buying the original suite, and Photo AI came out later in the year and they just gifted it to me. That should have been my first clue that they would phase out the others.

All that being said, I HOPE they don't phase out the other 3 until Photo AI is at least as good as the 3 others are individually, because otherwise that would be just plain dumb.

Recently I've been using Photo AI instead of Sharpening AI purely for sharpening. It's definitely getting better in that regard. I've been using Motion Blur, even though the images are of static subjects.

I asked Topaz about this and the tech said they were going to keep the 3 suites available until Photo AI performs just as well. I currently use Photo AI first since it provides the results I want the majority of the time. I'll use the others in the fewer cases where I don't like the results I get from Photo AI.

It doesn't look like the 3 suites will be improved any more, but I still think it's a good value to get all 4 products for the price.

Before getting Photo AI I asked tech support the same question and when they feel that it is as good as the 3 apps then they will be phased out. That means no more sales and support. They will always be there to download for customers that own any one of them. Since they open as a TIFF from Adobe (not sure about others or as as stand alone app) you can I guess use them, until the OS or other software stops supporting them. Topaz will one day be a two app company, Photo and Video AI.

Is Topaz denoise quicker than Adobe LR denoise?

It depends largely on your GPU. For Denoise take a look at these tables. Time from 18 seconds up to 5-7 mins. I don't have a table for Topaz. My RTX 3060 takes about 3 mins I think.

I have desperately been trying to get some tech support at Topaz. Does anyone know how to reach them. The links provided a year ago go no place or to the home page.

Thanks, in advance.

I had DeNoise and Sharpen. Last fall Topaz offered this to me. If I purchased Gigapixel for the other two apps got another year of support and I got Photo AI for free. Good to see deals are still out there.

On the main page scroll down and click contact us. Clock on the purple icon. They have been fast to respond when I submitted a request.

I’ve been using Topaz Apps off and on for years. They are great at pushing the envelope, and Topaz clearly like experimentation. They also make progress: Topaz Sharpen AI is clearly better than earlier sharpening tools from them.

It seems that they have concluded that they need to do more training and it makes sense to do that once, rather than separately.

In the meantime, their competitors are not standing still. DXO’s tools make photographic processing boring, as the default / auto settings are hard to improve on and their noise processing is second to none. Adobe has finally been woken from its slumber and, wishin a couple of years, will be able to produce good enough photos without much effort.

You pays your money and you makes your choice.
