As mentioned in my last blog post, Topaz Photo AI is on sale right now for $40 off. Today is the last day to take advantage of the discount whether you are making a new purchase or upgrading your existing license.
Version 1.5.2 is the new build just released yesterday (details below). I gave it a spin with some photos I shot with a Canon DSLR some years ago. Some were still in CR2 format and a couple of others had been converted to JPEG along the way, but in all cases, Photo AI made them sharper, clearer, cleaner, bigger!
Without Photo AI, my older stock images (and a lot of my new stuff as well!) are not entirely presentable due to noise, grain, blur, distant subject matter or overall softness. Even if you missed this sale, be sure to check into the app and try the demo for yourself to see what forgotten images you can salvage.
This week’s update contains improved handling for RAW files. It also has some performance improvements and an updated right panel when selecting faces.
