The new Topaz Photo AI v3 Test Denoise Sharpen Enlarge

The new Topaz Photo AI v3 brings in many areas Improvements. Not only the presets, but also other operations are easier. What has changed and Topaz Photo AI V3 in the Test:

Test Topaz Photo AI image editing software

Topaz Photo AI is not a complete photo editing software like Lightroom or similar programmes. Topaz Photo AI software is a software to remove ISO noise, sharpen photos and enlarge the file for posters.

Topaz Photo AI is an amalgamation and replacement of the three previous programmes Topaz DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI and Gigapixel AI. The software and has its own analysis of our photographs, which leads to an automatic result. However, the automatic functions can also be optionally switched off.

With the Topaz Photo AI software, we can also precisely adjust the settings for each enhancement. However, and this is the first major difference, the four methods for denoising or sharpening cannot be compared side by side. We can set both the section of our photo and the magnification. However, it is not possible to use both methods, RAW Normal and RAW Strong of removing noise side by side.

To compare the different options for denoising and sharpening, it is only possible to take a screenshot and then compare the screenshots after calculating the different settings. This is far from ideal, which is why I always use the individual programmes instead of the Topaz Photo AI software.

Topaz Photo AI v3 Upgrade

At last, Topaz Photo AI is also at an excellent state of the art in terms of noise reduction and sharpening our photographs. The new version turns Eisi, our test kingfisher, into a wonderful photo. And it converts our photos into a DNG, which we can edit further in any other image editing software.

The software finally does an impeccable job, like NoNoise AI, Shapen AI and Gigapixel AI before it, which have since been replaced by Topaz Photo AI. The software can automatically pick out the best results for you or you can intervene manually and

• Sharpening

Your photos. Topaz Photo AI also has a portrait function. However, the software has a decisive difference to Lightroom RR (smoke reduction), DxO PhotoLab, DxO PureRAW: in addition to RAW photos, it can also denoise and sharpen JPG photos or TIF photos.

New features in Topaz Photo AI Version 3

Topaz Photo AI 3 offers a range of enhancements aimed at simplifying and improving photo editing with artificial intelligence. The main features include:

• Autopilot
  This new feature automatically analyses your images and applies the optimal adjustments to improve quality. Autopilot simplifies the workflow by making intelligent, automated decisions based on the image content.
• Quality improvements
  The programme is also characterised by noise reduction, image sharpening and upscaling, with refinements that further increase the quality. These improvements are particularly beneficial in low light conditions, fast moving subjects or when you need to increase the resolution of your images for large prints.
• Efficiency and compatibility
  Topaz Photo AI 3 is optimised for high performance on modern hardware, including support for Apple Silicon and GPUs from Nvidia and AMD. This ensures faster processing times and smooth integration into your existing environment, whether as a standalone application or as a plugin with popular programmes such as Photoshop and Lightroom.
• User-friendly interface
  The interface remains simple and intuitive so that both beginners and professionals can quickly achieve the desired results without a steep learning curve.
• Presets / default settings
  With the presets, we can memorise our own preferences. This is a great advantage, especially in batch mode with many photos, and helps the workflow to be efficient.
• Brightness and colour
  Brightness and colour can already be corrected in the software. Crops can also be selected here.
• Sequence of applications
  The order of our applications can be changed.
• Operation
  The dock has been designed to be more user-friendly. It can be collapsed. In addition, the fine settings can be placed as a floating window above the photo or on the right in the sidebar.

Topaz Photo AI 3 combines the features from Topaz Labs' previous tools (Denoise AI, Sharpen AI and Gigapixel AI) into a unified application that addresses various aspects of image quality enhancement.

Test Topaz Photo AI V3

In the test, Topaz Photo AI V3 is easy to use and performs well in terms of automation. This is important, because not all of us want to familiarise ourselves with noise removal and sharpening down to the last detail. The image quality is also impressive. Here is a comparison of Eisi with DxO Pure RAW and Topaz Photo AI V3:

Photo AI at extreme ISO

Photo AI shows its strength at extreme ISO. A photo I took many years ago with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II at 12,800 ISO shows incredible noise. Using the camera above ISO 1,600 was risky as it showed terrible noise at higher ISO values. Despite an open aperture of F4.5 and a relatively slow shutter speed of 1/250 of a second, a high ISO was necessary thanks to the atmospheric light on the stage. Only a fixed focal length with a larger aperture, which I didn't have with me at the time, could have limited the noise.

Who would have thought that many years later we would still be able to rescue such photos and turn them into excellent shots? With Photo AI, we can work out the noise, sharpness and facial details and save them as DNG (DNG is a RAW format). This even makes further processing in other image editing software easy:

Conclusion Topaz Photo AI test

In the *fotowissen Topaz Photo AI V3 test, the noise reduction was on a par with DxO PureRAW 4, but showed clear advantages in sharpening. The software is highly recommended, especially as we can also use it to denoise and sharpen old JPG or TIF photos.

The software has made a big push and can be compared to any other AI noise reduction on the market such as Adobe Lightroom RR, DxO DeepPrime, ON1 NoNoise AI and others. It's incredible what the Artificial intelligence (AI = Artifical Intelligence) out of modern and old photos. The versatility of noise reduction, adjustable sharpening, magnification and facial
