The latest and just-released AI offering from Topaz, DeNoise AI<\/strong><\/a>, tackles nasty noise issues in your digital photos as the first AI-powered noise reduction tool<\/strong>. The older your image, the more likely there is to be moderate-to-severe disturbance of clarity that needs to be addressed. It seems very possible that DeNoise AI<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is now going to be the best solution available for this purpose.<\/p>\n

Here’s the DeNoise AI<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0interface (initial version 1.0.0 release), very straightforward and immediately familiar to users of Topaz’s other AI products:<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>\u00a0For existing customers of the older plug-in, this DeNoise AI<\/a> release is FREE<\/strong> (as are ALL of Topaz\u2019s updates). For new users, you can save an initial $20<\/strong>\u00a0AND\u00a0there is an unadvertised ADDITIONAL 15% discount<\/strong> on DeNoise AI<\/strong> as well as any other Topaz product (including the new AI Bundle<\/strong>!<\/a>) by using our coupon code at checkout<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

Back in October<\/a> I posted about fighting gritty images with Topaz Clear AI<\/strong><\/a> and got some amazing results. Believe it or not, the new DeNoise AI<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is giving even better results on that noisiest-photo-I-have-ever-seen (provided by Judy Gilde<\/a>)! Shot in\u00a0RAW with a\u00a0Canon EOS 5D Mark II<\/strong>\u00a0a decade ago in 2009 at ISO 12,800<\/i>, it’s a great example of having to push the limits of your camera to capture a\u00a0difficult scene.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, here is a reduced version of the full-frame image for reference:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The telephone pole at right fades into a pile of digital mush due to the lack of light on that side of the scene.<\/p>\n

Here’s a 100% before-and-after comparison of the pole section of the image after being treated by DeNoise AI<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(pre-release version at that!) at default settings, with quick Levels and Hue\/Saturation adjustments on the result:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Quite a salvage job! The pole (from top to bottom) now mostly stands out from the digital blizzard and the barely visible trees clearly pop against the sky.<\/p>\n

I dug back through my own 15-year-old non-DSLR digital photos to find some rough examples to test. Here’s a photo related to the one above in that it’s also shot at night (large dark areas) with the Moon present. With custom settings applied, DeNoise AI<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0strips away the grit and returns a much more usable result (final pre-release version shown here and below):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Night time is the right time for everything but taking photos, it seems! Here’s a handheld slow exposure of fireworks, where the dark areas (as usual) are full of unwanted junk. DeNoise AI<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0restores the sky to its natural color while leaving the delicate puff of smoke alone:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And here is the Moon again (the same one!), this time out on the ocean before it got dark. As a result, less (but still some) noise is present in the original, yet DeNoise AI<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is still useful for making the sky smooth as silk:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

DeNoise AI<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0will of course continue to improve as Topaz releases subsequent updates. These are always free for existing customers.<\/p>\n
