It is possible to mask in Topaz Denoise AI but I prefer the more advanced options to mask in Photoshop. Topaz DeNoise AI is a potent, AI-powered software that removes noise while keeping and enhancing the original detail in your photos. 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. This doesn’t work with my workflow as it doesn’t allow the use of Layers or Layer Masks so I gave it a try and then forgot it. In this 2022 Topaz DeNoise AI review, you’ll find an in-depth analysis of and tutorial for this noise-reduction software from Topaz Labs. Topaz denoise is sometimes better than LR. When you import the DNG into LrC you will be working with an already processed image. Within the current version of DeNoise AI that I have, there are three mode options. This takes you to the standalone version where you can remove the noise, and when you click Apply, it adds the corrected file back into Lightroom with the file name changed to xxxx-Edit.tif My belief is that if Topaz is working with the Raw data, it will use it’s own process to render the raw data and apply DeNoise and Sharpening then save the processed image in a DNG wrapper. Connect DeNoise AI to Lightroom Classic Connect DeNoise AI to Photoshop CC With that done, it’s time to explore the actual system itself 2. The new RAW model works from the original raw sensor data. As the name implies, it works on RAW files that can then be saved as tiff, psd, jpg, png, or dng. Topaz has added a new noise reduction model to DeNoise AI called RAW. All settings were synced from the Lightroom version after topaz AI Sharpening except sharpening and noise reduction to keep the playing field even. That workflow just got a kick in the pants with the latest version of Topaz DeNoise AI (3.3). I re-processed a slightly out of focus shot from 2019 of the Thunderbirds show in Atlantic City NJ. I tried the Lightroom plugin, which consists of right-clicking the image in Lightroom and selecting Edit In>Topaz DeNoise AI. I have recently acquired Topaz AI Sharpen. All of the descriptions below work in Lightroom, Photoshop, and the Standalone version. As a lot of people only use Lightroom then the Lightroom plugin is probably the way to go. I’ve found it handles noise in the Fuji RAW files much better than Lightroom, Photoshop or On1. The sharpening technology built in is pretty good. I have been encouraging people to check it out. Installing it gives you a standalone version as well as a Lightroom and Photoshop plugin. I’ve been using Topaz Denoise AI for several generations and love it. I posted my revised workflow for noise reduction with Neat Image a while ago and have used this up to now, but decided to download the free trial of Topaz Denoise AI and give it a try. There are loads of settings that can be adjusted, plus noise profiles that can be generated or downloaded as well as the ability to analyse each image individually. I’ve been using Neat Image since 2005 and up to now, I’ve been fairly happy with it. There is also a 30 day free trial period, so you can try before you buy. There seems to be a lot of noise on the internet (Sorry □) about a new noise reduction package using AI (Artificial Intelligence), developed by Topaz Labs called, wait for it, Topaz DeNoise AIĪt the time of writing (October 2020) it’s not the cheapest software at $79.99 but with discounts to $59.99 and vouchers, it can be purchased for $50.99 which translates to £41.76.
