    Outstanding. The extra commentary about controls you chose not to use was extremely valuable. Just showing the step by steps was nice, but with the extra observations about what might or might-not be helpful made this a truly great tutorial.

    I purchased the Topaz package and really enjoyed your review of how you use it. Unfortunately, many times I can't don't see any differences among the photos. They all look about the same to me. Maybe I can blame my lack of perception on RUclips, but it may have more to do with my monitor or my eyes or my inexperience. So I like it when you point out the differences among the various views.

  • @TracerXS
    @TracerXS 3 года назад

    I have found that Gigapixel noise suppression works very well, at least for lower ISO, and I skip DeNoise altogether, so I just go to Gigapixel 1st to enlarge and clean up the noise, then go to Sharpen AI to tighten the focus up....most of the photos I work through are panned auto racing shots and I enlarge so they can be printed at 20x30.

    • @lesoo3

  • @suesmith3138
    @suesmith3138 Год назад

    Thanks for a great tutorial. When you have finished going through all of the different AI applications do you keep them all or just the original photo and the final product? It seems like if all are kept it would take up a lot of memory. Thanks.

  • @jpdj2715
    @jpdj2715 3 года назад

    Interesting, Anthony. I tested GP-AI, last year and ran it stand-alone. Then it does its own raw processing. That surprised me - I had not thought about implications - in that "my exposure corrections had disappeared". I use .XML side car files, by the way. But the latter doesn't mean that another app can do something with what is in a photo's sidecar.xml. I know.
    So, in this video, you use the app as a plugin and apparently this uses Lightroom's exposure settings applied to the raw processing, then exports the photo to an interchange format and the Topaz app processes that.
    I would have preferred the sidecar.xml corrections to be applied to Topaz's raw processing and skipping the "export" - but this is complicated if a photo was subjected to more complex operations (like masks and retouch) I guess.
    Or, the DxO PureRAW approach that offers the app as an inline pre-processor would be the preferred approach, considering this.
    Wait, am I saying that I would want PureRAW over DeNoise? It depends. Maybe.

  • @renkessler5476

  • @bobburgess8677
    @bobburgess8677 2 года назад

    Well, this old geezer might be a pretty good photographer but am lousy at this tech stuff. I now have all 3 Topaz as well as Lightroom Classic, and Lightroom and Photoshop. I shoot in raw but I really need help (willing to pay a fair price) to get me organzied on all of this. Previous camera imports were edited in Lightroom and not Lightroom Classic (grr) and on export to my external harddrive and Untitled Export files were sent as JPGs. Can I now fix these in Topaz? Loved this video and gave me some insight into previous mistakes.

  • @luigig867
    @luigig867 3 года назад +1

    Hello Anthony, after viewing your video I bought the three apps with your discount (thank you!). I like the workflow you suggest, but since I usually use only Bridge and camera raw (if possibile I avoid PS), so when do you think is better to use the three Topaz tool in the workflow? I usually work ACR/DNG files.
    Thank you Luigi

  • @mdturnerinoz
    @mdturnerinoz 3 года назад

    I almost always do Denoise AI and Sharpen AI directly from Lightroom before I may go to Photoshop as I use it to manage my pix. BUT occasion I do the Bridge > Photoshop thing. So I'd be interested in a Photoshop workflow as well.

  • @MichaelduS7

  • @SergNikiforovGordeev
    @SergNikiforovGordeev 10 месяцев назад

    Hello Master! I see that when you select editing in the Topaz program, you have the opportunity to edit the original, that is, the raw file. This menu item is not available for me. Only a copy of tiff. Although the Topaz program itself opens and saves enhanced files in raw format. Maybe you can tell me the reason why I can only open tiff in Topaz through LR. All programs are installed with the latest versions, that is, updated.

  • @adembo42

  • @marcrjacobs
    @marcrjacobs 3 года назад +1

    Question: Why don't you use 1. Show in Finder, 2. Drag RAW DNG to the appropriate Topaz tool, 3. Edit in Topaz, 4. Save to source folder, 5. Sync folder in LR? This way you always have a RAW file throughout the process. Wouldn't that be more useful?

  • @johndoddato2662
    @johndoddato2662 3 года назад

    Anthony thanks for another great tutorial. I recently purchased all three software applications you detail here. Could you explain why in DeNoise AI you left a high percentage of "remove bur" and then in Sharpen AI you had a high value of "remove noise" I would think that when combining two or three softwares on an image that some sliders like remove blur in DeNoise would be zero out. It seem that when combining all software on an image it would be sharpened three times. Your image finished image looked good but the software seems to work backwards in a sense. Thanks

    Hello and thank you for the great video🙏🏻
    I also own these three Topaz products and have adjusted my workflow as shown in this video. However, I have the following problem... Up until now I've always cropped in Lightroom before sending the photo to Sharpen. In your video you crop directly into gigapixels, and that's exactly what doesn't work for me. I can change the image section, but when I click "Crop" nothing happens. Then I can only cancel. I've also uninstalled Gigapixel and reinstalled it again... to no avail. The whole thing on a Mac Mini with M1 chip. Have you had this before or do you have a solution for it? Or is it not so important to crop directly in gigapixels?
    I would be very grateful for an answer 😊
    Greetings Udo

    ...thanks.

    • @TorstenVillnow
      @TorstenVillnow 3 года назад

      The size of the TIFF-files is the same as if you transfer a photo for external editing from Lightroom to Photoshop as TIFF. The result of the processing in Denoise etc. does more or less not change that size. For sure each of the files generated in this demonstration has the size of such "ordinary" TIFF-file.
