Surely you know about the classic plug-in version of Topaz Adjust<\/strong> (see PDF tutorial here<\/a>)! Originally released well over a decade ago, it has been one of Topaz’ most popular releases.<\/p>\n

Adjust AI<\/strong><\/a> is its new successor!<\/h2>\n

Adjust AI is the latest in Topaz’ new AI product line, the main focus of which is image quality over speed (when compared to the Topaz Studio framework).<\/p>\n

All existing users of the classic Topaz Adjust<\/strong>, Clarity<\/strong> and\/or Detail<\/strong> plug-ins will receive Adjust AI for free<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

For new customers, the launch-special pricing is $20 off, AND you can save AN ADDITIONAL 15%<\/strong> by clicking here<\/a> and using coupon plugsnpixels<\/strong>\u00a0($79.99 > 59.99 > $51.00<\/strong>). Sale ends July 8.<\/p>\n

The design of Adjust AI<\/strong><\/a> is inspired by many of the things that made the original Adjust such a great product.\u00a0Topaz is striving to not only replicate but improve upon the classic Adjust workflow and design. Adjust AI includes some other popular Topaz technologies, including Topaz Detail<\/strong> and Topaz Clarity<\/strong> (now labeled “Topaz Dynamic”). The initial release will not have same features right out of the gate, but in the long run Topaz intends to make Adjust AI a complete replacement for the older technology, adding classic features such as noise reduction and more color adjustments.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the new interface<\/strong>\u00a0as it appeared just before the final release:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below is the un-retouched original of the adjusted image shown above (shot in 2008). The plants in the foreground and background are mostly lost to the shadows, but were fully restored in Adjust AI<\/strong><\/a> with very little effort:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The AI-powered modes<\/strong> (“Standard” and “HDR Style” buttons in the right panel) bring out colors, shadows, details and more to make your photos as vivid as intended\u2014all in one step:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let’s run a couple of other older non-DSLR images through Adjust AI<\/strong><\/a> and see what we get. This is a bland image of an old church taken back in 2006:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Starting with one of the presets and tweaking parameters in the various categories, we begin to breathe new life into the image, adding some intentional stylization (before and after):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here’s one of the final results (out of a whole gamut of styles you can achieve, from basic correction to full-on reinterpretation):<\/p>\n

Here’s an example of purposely pushing stylization even further to ramp up the drama. First, the soft 2006 original:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now the Adjust AI<\/strong> result, achieved mainly by boosting the various Contrast and Detail settings. I made one manual change afterwards in Photoshop, removing the distracting elements seen outside the windowpanes:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is a before-and-after view of a Canon DSLR image, dragged directly into the latest release version of Adjust AI<\/strong> from Adobe Bridge. Note the recovery of shadow areas as well as an overall increase in detail:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adjust AI<\/strong><\/a> will work its magic as a standalone or Photoshop\/Topaz Studio plugin.<\/p>\n

Current owners of the original Adjust plug-in will still be able to use the original copy in addition to receiving the new Adjust AI.<\/p>\n

Please note: Original Adjust presets cannot be imported into this version. You’ll still be able to use any user-created presets in the original Adjust.<\/em><\/p>\n

The classic Adjust plug-in will no longer be available for new purchases after the release of Adjust AI.<\/em><\/p>\n

From the press release:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“ADDISON, TX (June 20, 2019) Topaz Labs<\/strong> released today a major new product to its AI-powered photo editing offerings, introducing Adjust AI<\/strong><\/a>. This new application is available as a standalone solution, as well as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and Topaz Studio.<\/p>\n

After months of training and testing, Adjust AI leverages machine learning to analyze and transform ordinary photos into lively, vivacious images that would normally require time-consuming, manual adjustments. Adjust AI is the fastest way to achieve ultimate clarity, detail, contrast, and an eye-catching aesthetic with minimal user input.<\/p>\n

Application Details<\/strong>
\nWith Adjust AI, users can:
\n\u2022Utilize two AI-powered modes (Standard and HDR Style buttons in the right panel) to automatically bring out colors, shadows, details, and more to make photos as vivid as intended–all in one click.
\n\u2022Utilize advanced shadow & highlight recovery that reveals lost detail.
\n\u2022Utilize Topaz Clarity\u2019s intelligent, proprietary technology to manipulate macro, midrange, and overall contrast without halos or noise, all while maintaining a natural feeling and tonality in your image.
\n\u2022Move Topaz Detail sliders to independently adjust small, medium, and large amounts of detail inside the shadows and highlights of your image.
\n\u2022Apply new & modern presets for versatile effects.
\n\u2022Create and save custom presets for a faster workflow.<\/p>\n

Adjust AI<\/strong><\/a> caters to professionals and enthusiasts alike. Users can utilize the output of the AI to speed up workflow as well as take advantage of a range of new, modern presets. Adjust AI also includes the ability to create and save your own variations in order to create presets bespoke to you.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Adjust AI, we hope our users will be impressed by the versatility and depth of the effects possible with this single application,\u201d said Albert Yang, CTO of Topaz Labs. \u201cIn our first development meeting for Adjust AI, our mission was clear: Let\u2019s develop an intelligent application to take photos from dull to dynamic in less than 10 clicks. We wanted to create a solution that offers stunning image enhancement, but doesn\u2019t consume all of the user\u2019s time. Adjust AI harnesses really powerful AI processing, but also allows for light, masterful finishing touches, so you can truly transform a lackluster image into an eye-catching photo that doesn\u2019t look over-processed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recommended Workflow<\/strong>
\nTo achieve the best results with Adjust AI, Topaz Labs recommends the following workflow:
\n1. Import photo. Use JPEG to RAW AI to restore RAW editing capabilities if needed.
\n2. Apply noise reduction with DeNoise AI.
\n3. Make any composition, cropping, or straightening adjustments desired in Topaz Studio.
\n4. Apply Adjust AI and make any further tweaks.<\/p>\n

Adjust AI Pricing and Availability<\/strong>
\nAdjust AI is available now for an introductory price of $59.99 until July 8, 2019. Following July 8, Adjust AI will be available for $79.99. Users owning the original Topaz Adjust, Topaz Clarity and\/or Detail will receive a complimentary copy of Adjust AI. Adjust AI is also a part of the Topaz AI Bundle, which includes Sharpen AI, Gigapixel AI, DeNoise AI, and JPEG to RAW AI. Users with one or more of the applications can still take advantage of savings with a prorated discount for just the applications desired. Like all Topaz applications, users can always download a free, 30-day trial of Adjust AI before purchasing the application.<\/p>\n
