Unless, of course, it surprises me with some obvious artificial intelligence, but I doubt that. Oh, and I think I’m going to stop adding the AI after the plugin names, as it’s a pointless marketing suffix. OK, so let’s crank up Topaz DeNoise and see what we think. You always can, but I think you already know that.

I haven’t contacted Topaz about this review and will buy the plugins myself if I like them, and not liking them would save me $160, so you can rest assured that you are getting my full and honest opinion here. There’s a sale until May 6, 2022, which provides Topaz DeNoise, Sharpen, and Gigapixel for $160, a saving of $100 over the list price, so it’s probably a good time to pick these up if I am impressed.

I’m starting with the trial version, with the intention of buying this and a few other Topaz plugins if I like them. Today I’ve put some time aside to sit down and check out Topaz DeNoise and Sharpen and will make notes and share my thoughts as usual.

I was asked at the time what I thought of Topaz Labs noise reduction software and intended to take a look, but it dropped off my radar until this week, a member of the MBP Pro Community showed some samples of his tests comparing ON1 NoNoiseAI with the Topaz DeNoiseAI software. As I mentioned at the time though, I was pretty unimpressed with the performance of ON1 Photo Raw, finding it slow and clunky, despite wanting to like it.

Texas Rangers Delino DeShields narrowly misses getting hit by a ball. In any case I only apply this process to my best images as part of outputting them for final use. However, I think this is a small price to pay for a super clean output. If I am applying to a full size D850 image it can take around 30 seconds to complete it’s task. Topaz Denoise is not the speediest of processors. If I do not require any Photoshop adjustments I open the TIFF file directly from Capture One and apply Topaz. Here I make any further adjustments necessary and finally apply Topaz Denoise. My workflow is now to cull, caption and keyword in Photomechanic, Process RAW file in Capture One 20, output a 16bit TIFF and open in Photoshop. You therefore need to apply all your adjustments in your RAW processor, before outputting a TIFF or PSD file for denoise work. You must output a pixel based image before applying. It is important to note that Topaz Denoise AI does not work with RAW files. Note how the background noise has been smoothed and feather detail and the eye enhanced Workflow This Ring-billed gull was shot at ISO 1100, 1/2000th f6.3, Nikon D850 with Nikon 500mm f4 and TC14 converter, (effective focal length 700mm, handheld.

I rarely have to use any manual changes, simply setting Auto and letting Toopaz do it’s thing. I am not a great fan of automatic adjustments by software on an image but this is certainly the exception. You can manually adjust the settings should you wish to do so. However, you are not stuck with the AI version to remove noise from your image. The AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, and it certainly hits the mark. Topaz Denoise, does not cause a lack of sharpness, in fact it seems to somehow enhance sharpness. This includes both external plugins and the noise reduction built into Lightroom and Capture One. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement! All noise reduction software that I had tried in the past had always led to some softening in detail areas and a slight reduction in apparent sharpness. Recently there has been a big advertising push online from Topaz Labs plugins and a lot of positive reviews, particularly for Topaz Denoise AI, so I thought I would download the free trial and give it a go. For the last few years I have used NIK filters Dfine as an external noise reduction filter for high ISO images and been reasonably happy with the results. None the less I have always found it necessary to do a certain amount of noise control in post processing with most images shot at 1600 or above. Each new generation of digital camera has improved its control of digital noise in high ISO images.
