Thanks, Chris! Fantastic tutorial on this program. Thanks for putting it together.
Glad it was helpful!
Automagically is a fun new portmanteau
Muchas gracias. Cuídate mucho
Thanks for watching
Thank you!
Very informative video. Thank you!
You’re welcome
Very good video - I'm in the process of "getting used to" Photo AI 2 and so this type of information is very much appreciated : )
So far I have only used it on two images (!), but the results were impressive...
Since I'm not using Lightroom or Photoshop for raw processing, but DxO PhotoLab (3), I feel I have to ask Topaz in what order they would recommend "traveling" - since file formats may cripple certain aspects...so, so far, I would have to use the tiff route from DxO (to Topaz), although Topaz recommends letting Photo AI work on a RAW (NEF in my case) file, but if I did, DxO wouldn't recognize the resulting file and thus rob me off the geometric correction, which is why I'm using DxO at all....but, 16 bit tifs are fine... : )
I find the RAW workflow to be better with DxO. I create TIFFs or JPGs to work in Topaz.
...same with me so far - Thanks for reply...
Thank you for the walkthrough. I just upgraded my Topaz suite with PAI and, having run a few images through it already, I wondered if I had wasted my $$. However, after watching your video, I’m seeing much better results. BTW, are you aware that when you zoom into the controls you sometimes cut off the portion of the image you’re focused on? For instance, on the shot of your daughter we couldn’t see the changes to her eyes. No huge issue-we just had to take your word for it. (Or maybe it’s just my screen?) Anyway, thanks again for your efforts.
Sorry about that! Yeah, I made a mistake in editing. You can see the actual result in this video; ruclips.net/video/dAeYetkYMXs/видео.html
Great video, thank you! Newbie question: After I / Topaz makes the edits to a photo, should I hit "Save" before moving onto the next, or can you just move along from photo to photo making edits and then save all at the end?
It depends on how many you're working on. A few, I don't save. dozens or more, may want to save in case the app crashes.
What I can't find, probably because it's so common that nobody mentions it :), but how can I get that control panel on the right? With the filters, the sliders etc?
Yes, they've recently changed the UI... and the majority of photographers I know dislike it. Everything is now hidden behind buttons and tabs. To access the editing tools click the "Add Enhancement" (blue) button, top/right of panel and add your desired enhancement. I'm waiting to hear back from the Developers to see if there's any chance of going back to the old UI. If not, I'll be releasing several new Topaz tutorials in the next few weeks.
Hi, friends! Tell me please, how many images in batch i can upload and start to process? I guess, only 59? But I want 500 images in batch.
How do I, or can I, save edited photos from Topaz to iPhotos. I click save, then nothing happens. Thanks for the tutorial, it was clear, concise and therefore easily understandable by an old tintype like me.
Hmmm. Not sure. If you check the topaz website they have a help section that should include “how to” for any app that supports their plugin.
Thank you, I found it. I'm guessing Topaz does not support iPhone cameras very well. Cleaning up photos with those shots takes forever and usually doesn't improve them much. However, photos take with my Nikon 5100 really, really clean up nice, even ones taken years ago.

THANK YOU!! ; o )
Thanks Chris.. I noticed my version of t=Topaz is different V2.4..2, and don't have the side bar with the options. Any suggestions?
Hi Tracy, Yes, they've recently changed the UI... and the majority of photographers I know dislike it. Everything is now hidden behind buttons and tabs.

Hi Chris,
Your RUclips Clip on Topaz Photo AI 2 is very informative. Requesting you to inform whether Topaz AI 2 should be applied before RAW image is processed in ACR or after having been processed in ACR. Thank you
Hi, I edit all my images before applying Topaz adjustments. However, instead of a RAW workflow I convert my images to TIFF.
Thank you Chris. Your prompt response is appreciated.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and have an awesome day!
Hi - I have an old newspaper article that is very difficult to read. It is possible to improve the text? When I tried to do it the text became much worse.
I've never used Photo AI for text. Have you tried Dehaze, Clarity, and or Texture in ACR or Lightroom?
@@ParkerPhotographic Actually no, It seems like I have been trying so much I just want something that will work and willing to pay for it.
Nice video, thanks! No sure if I understand Topaz line of products: is latest Gigapixel 7 included into Topaz Photo AI v2?
No, it’s a separate plugin
@@ParkerPhotographicWhat? Photo AI product page stipulates « Sharpen, remove noise, and increase the
resolution of your photos with tomorrow's technology ». Why need additional plugins like Gigapixel AI then? Thank you
@@Speccy48k photo AI has a different model for scaling. Gigapixel is a legacy product with a different formula. Free trial for all products to test which options work best for your images. Personally photo AI is sufficient for my needs (scaling too).
Doh… so weird in terms of line of products from Topaz. You would assume Photo AI to include all the latest and greatest technologies and plugins. Very confusing indeed. Thanks for clarifying
Full acess for 199$? or this is for the 1 year?
I process all my Raw files in DXO Photolab Elite with Deep Prime noise reduction turned on by default. Should I let Topaz Photo AI run normally or should I turn off noise reduction as this has already been done in Photolab?
I would turn off denoise in Topaz.
@@ParkerPhotographic Thanks, I guess that I can achieve this by Autopilot Preferences - Remove Noise (non-RAW) Always Off
Hello, How to add new Ai Models in to the Topaz Ai ?
They'll be included in any updates. You'll see a red button, top right of interface, when new updates are available.
@@ParkerPhotographic yes, but I have topaz Ai with folder full of Ai models, about 9gb. So they automatic included to ?
When you install Photo AI, it downloads the models and adds to it during installation.
I bought the program and it installed the version 2.4, should I try and remove it and go to a older version. Two other questions, if I try to open in PS it does not open the iage correctly, I get mostly a black image, with only a minor part of the correct image. Last I tried a image from yosemite of the church with a rock formation and my wife in the foreground, she is small in the foreground but when it tried to remove noise it distorted the face completely
I would try 2.3.2, it has less bugs and more photographers prefer it at the moment. You can download from the Topaz forums; community.topazlabs.com/t/topaz-photo-ai-v2-3-2/62911
EVERY SINGLE VIDEO IS ABLUT A FREAKING BIRD!!! this Topaz software sounds good but it’s only for nature not for people
I use it for portraits and landscapes too; ruclips.net/video/dAeYetkYMXs/видео.html
I like 🐦 🐦⬛ 🦃 🦉 birds
The bird is the word.
Hi and thanks for an informative video , this looks like a great program and Faily easy to use , thanks again . Pete Western Australia
Nice video, thanks.
However, I can't find Topaz in the filters in PS, so how do you go about that?
If it's not there I can't use it in PS...
Any help?
To use Topaz Photo AI in Photoshop - go to File > Automate > Topaz Photo AI
@@ParkerPhotographic nope. It does not show anywhere, neither in PS, nor in LRC
I have version 2.something, not 3.
Might that be the culprit?

New to Topaz Photo AI 2? This is THE Topaz Photo AI Complete Guide for beginners to get up and running with it FAST! Everything you need to know about Photo AI is included!
P.S. related to my previous post - fwiw, I'm running TPAI as a stand-alone on Windows 11. Thanks.
Hi Chris! Glad to have came across your video on YT. This was really motivating to try out this product. I was just wondering if Topaz has a bundle version. I mean photo and video in one software. Also, I believe it would be also cheaper.
Sorry for the late reply. Topaz Photo AI includes 3 bundles; Sharpen, Denoise, Gigapixel (upscale). Plus, additional features not available in the stand-a-lone apps.
Hey Chris! Happy New Yeer. When I open AI 2 I don't get the same window you get. How do you reach the browse images page? Thanks.
Happy new year! The "browse" window only appears when using Topaz photo AI as a stand-alone app. It won't appear if you open from Lightroom.
Thank you! @@ParkerPhotographic
Hey, many thanks for this walkthrough! I am using Lightroom CC as my main RAW driver. What I haven’t figured out so far, how an optimal workflow including Topaz Photo AI would look like. As Lightroom CC does not support any plugins what would you recommend?
That's a tough one. It's unfortunate that CC doesn't allow plugins.
You're stuck with the stand-alone app, processing RAW to DNG and importing the DNG files.
Or do your edits in CC, export to TIFF (or jpg) and bring them into Topaz for the final edits.
And thanks for watching and the support!
Switch to lightroom classic.
@@verts_tv this is not an option because I want to have access to all photos on more than one device.
Nice walk-through of the V 2.0 features. Thanks. Question: my Removing Noise options look quite a bit different than yours. Removing Noise I have - Raw Normal V2, Raw Strong V2, Raw Normal and Raw Strong. Wonder why that is? Or am I missing something?
In this video, in the beginning, I show how to process RAW files directly and explain that it's not my current workflow. So, the interface you're seeing is the JPG/TIFF workflow.
@@ParkerPhotographic Ah, yes, thanks very much for clearing that up. I should have seen that Raw vs. JPG processing.
I am new to photography and looking for a beginner friendly program. I currently have photodirector. Is topaz al a good beginner program and will it work with photodirector?
one of the best videos I have seen on Photo AI. Thank you so much for doing this
Wow, thank you!
