Just the background blur tool is worth the price of admission. I recently bought Topaz Mask AI and it is an amazing product. Tried it today and it was the first time the fans went into overdrive.Very nice tutorial. I got new one last fall and forgot I had DeNoise AI. It seems to be way faster on my iMac if you put 'Enable discreet GPU' to NO and Enable Intel OpenVINO to YES. There are some different GPU options that may make a difference one way or the other. See what you have selected under the Advanced options under the Preferences in both of the Topaz programs.

And the Sharpen AI is even slower than the DeNoise? I dunno. Thank you, Geoff and Kathy! The Topaz DeNoise works fine but it is slow on my 2015 iMac with 32GB RAM. My desk top has no problem & is quite fast with AI.the graphic card & how it is tied to the program is very important. As for the A7RIV uncropped files in A1 sharpen, you might as well go get a drink, maybe a snack too. It also helps immensely to crop prior to running them, thus cutting back the size of the files if you are going to crop any way. Due to this I always make a separate layer to run them with so that I can mask it off. My worst gripe is that Denoise will frequently blur the color out of the lines. My laptop is built for gaming, about 3 years old now, and has 32gb of Ram, I agree with this exactly, Sharpen takes much, much more time than Denoise. Gloomy UK weather and these 2 programs turns a waisted day into a day with keepers, when I compare a before and after image taken at 600mm the result is as much as I would expect in a comparison between the prime and zoom, Haven't noticed anything in mine.sometimes the sharpening is too aggressive and creates artifacts that are mostly obvious at 100% mag and not so much at web output size. I haven't tried an A7RIV file in Sharpen AI yet.

A full 24MP A9 file without cropping took ~3mins for Sharpen AI. I crop my image in LR first to minimize processing time as it depends on how large the file is.

Denoise just takes a few seconds, maybe 1 min if it is an uncrossed A7RIV file. Sharpen AI certainly takes a lot longer than Denoise AI. I'm using a 2015 5K iMac 4Ghz i7 with 24GB of RAM and the AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4 GB If your work is only going to appear on the web, maybe it's not a big deal Adding to the nasty surprise factor is the fact that the Topaz previews typically do not reveal the artifacts and so one is forced to examine the output much more closely than most people would care to. This would be especially unfortunate if they made their way into a large print. The worst part of the artifacts is that some of them are not blindingly obvious, but once you've seen them you can't unsee them. I can attest to the artifacts in both Sharpen and Denoise, and it is the latter which was the most egregious offender at the time I tried it, but that may have changed since it seems every new release brings new bugs or variants of the old ones.

The earlier AI wouldn't download on my system running a nevdia 1050. I have been pretty happy using DXO prime and then sharpen with topaz AI.the latest version which I got for free. Can't understand why Topaz is still stuck in the past on this issue of using an old format. TIFF is really outdated and creates huge file sizes vs PSD, which is also lossless btw. The issue I do have with Topaz is it forces you to use TIFF as their output. Looking at what you posted, guess I should really consider getting Sharpen AI too. Yeah it's pretty impressive Gofff I do have & use the denoise plug-in and love what it does. I also have read ( no personal experience ) that at times you get artifacts in the resulting images. On a quad-core iMac with 64 BG RAM, Sharpen AI (2.x version) takes 10 minutes to process a single image, and it crashes if I attempt to use the eGPU. Older SW, like Piccure+ (RIP) was excellent and used a fraction of the system resources. On a quad-core iMac with 64 GB RAM, Sharpen AI (2.x version) takes 10 minutes to process a single image, and it crashes if I attempt to use the eGPU. I’m finding that, while the output can often be quite good, their products are becoming more gimmicky.
