THANK YOU for this fantastic tutorial! I am currently doing a trial of Photo AI 3 prior to deciding whether to purchase, having already purchased Denoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel back in 2021. I can see all kinds of advantages to the latest version of Topazlabs after watching your careful educational video. So thank you again!
Thank you Chris, for the "deep dive." I applied the updates from 2.4 to take me to 3.0 and your explanations have saved me hours of time stumbling around and doing "trial and error" knowledge building about this newest version. As always, the granularity of your analysis had saved me a ton of time with this really neat software tool. This is one I'll watch more than once...and probably take some notes to create some shortcuts in my workflow. Loving your pictures from the trip to the Western U.S. btw.
Love your video - it was very helpful as I consider this product. Hoping you can help me with a question - I use Lightroom which allows me to send photos to the cloud so I can edit on my IPad Pro. Can I send photos to Topaz as a stand-alone from the cloud or do I need to use a different method to get them into Topaz Photo ai. Thank you for help.
Excellent video. You taught an old dog some new tricks. I have used all the denoise and sharpening stuff out there, and after much testing, I found the Topaz Suite to be the best. Photo AI is amazing. Sometimes though, I use the old Denoise AI only, and it works for some photos. I also sometimes use the Sharpening AI for some photos too. But all in all, the new Photo AI is a really neat app. I have also just started rearranging the enhancements (denoise, sharpen) and indeed it does make a difference. Thank you especially about the saving presets, what a time saver!!! My bird photos that have been run through Photo AI can be seen on Flickr with the same name as my UA-cam channel. I use Olympus cameras, and have been using higher ISO's due to photo AI. Cheers!
Great great video ... nice presentation. I am having trouble replicating the batch process you mention. I use LRc and highlight let's say three or four images and then invoke the plugin Topaz Photo Ai ... and .. only one photo shows up. What am I doing wrong??? To be clear, I would like to know how to import all my images from LRc to Topaz Photo AI (let Photo AI do its magic) and then have ALL the images come back into LRc (instead of doing this process one image at a time)
Hi @DanielCharnitsky, If you're selecting all the images, and activating Topaz by: right-clicking and selecting "Edit in" > "Topaz Photo AI" and only one image opens... it might be a bug. I can't replicate the problem. Report Topaz bugs here: community.topazlabs.com/t/how-to-report-a-bug-for-photo-ai/39364
very detailed tutorial thanks , but I am running version 3.04 of PhotoAI but do not get the same masking options as you show in the video , when I clicke selection it just shows me what it thinks is the subject and hence I cannot apply different degrees of denoise /sharpening to specific parts of my iamges as you show in the video , what am I doing wrong ?
1. Thank you for the very clear explanation! 2. There is a problem with the audio. I only hear you from the left audio channel. Is this a bug in my UA-cam, or on your end? 3. Unfortunately, Topaz Photo AI seems to suffer from the same issue that most AI renders have; they make eyes looks very unnatural. I used a trial version about half a year ago, but since I mostly shoot photos with faces (primarily my children), I was disappointed by the fact they ruined my kids' eyes.
@@ParkerPhotographic Windows 10. But I think it's probably a UA-cam bug in Firefox. I tried it again just now, and it is still wrong, while a few other random videos don't have this problem. Oh well, thanks for the video anyway!
Hi Chris, when in manual mode in canon d800, when turning exposure compensation wheel, will it always adjust shutter speed rather than aperture to align at zero, and why like that if i am correct?
Thanks for the great video I just bought the program I have a question I can't seem to find autopilot when I open the program up it doesn't go into autopilot I thought it was supposed to is there any way that when I open the program I can get into autopilot I use it as a stand-alone.
Autopilot runs automatically when you click on an image. If you see an adjustment or two in the right panel, then those are the AutoPilot suggestions. If you delete/remove all the adjustments you'll see a green button labeled; Apply Autopilot.
Shame that there is not a way to copy a mask from one enhancement to another, rather than having to mask each time. I have photos of an office interiors and Topaz Ai has problems with carpet areas, so I want to mask out the carpets. The photo however does need Denoise and Sharpening elsewhere. I just cannot see away to mask an area to use on all enhancements or am i missing something obvious ?
You can copy all edits from one image to another. In thumbnail preview (bottom) select the image you want to copy from then select the others to copy to. Then, click the three dots below the first image (to copy from) and select "Apply" > "Current settings to selected images"
@@ParkerPhotographic sorry I probably should have caught that but I'm teetering on 80-years-old and sometimes I'm not as sharp as you youngbloods lol Thanks for the help
@@ParkerPhotographic How bizarre, I have no issues on any other video, music or sound??? o_O HUH, explain that one? I sure cannot, sir. That I only get the left channel on your video alone is why I commented. Would not do that otherwise, as it would no sense, correct?
@@ParkerPhotographic Sir, with all due respect, do you understand computers and software? If ALL ELSE, soundwise works, thus, video sound, music, other sounds, as it should, an ONLY this video acts up? Well, then can one be quite darn certain, it is NOT on my end. This then brings me to the question: If this video works as it should, yet, I do not hear the right channel ... where is the issue? This is quite puzzling.
Chris, can you make a video on relationship between focal length and focus and how focus is adjusted and focal length does not change in modern lenses. There is nothing out there, searched. Is it the lens curvature that changes with other lenses to create focus?
That sounds like a very technical question. I'm not very good with the technicals, and I don't think I'd be the right person for that. I don't spend much time on technical issues like that. I'm more concerned with composition, light, and editing vs. "how stuff works."
Thank you for making a tutorial that's super easy to understand for beginners like me.

EXCELLENT! A jpg is an 8 bit so only values of 0-255 for RGB, with a 16-bit file format such as tif, the RGB values can range from 0 - 65,535.

It has to be on your end. I put the audio on both channels and can hear both on my headset.
Are you using Windows 10 or 11?
@@ParkerPhotographic Ok, strange. Perhaps a UA-cam bug with Firefox maybe.

When I open topaz I have a split screen on your video it looks like you just have a full screen image is there an adjustment for this
I covered this here; 05:32 Topaz Photo AI Interface
Look for the icons to the left of the zoom slider... on the bottom panel. Choose the first one.

Hello parker. Am not really into AI, i really want to great my own. i will take a look.
Mono sound over only left channel????
Wut happened?

What a pity Auto pilot doesn't begin with denoise in jpegs
I am new to this, but I think you can put them in the order you want. Just drag denoise to the top.
