Not something you ever want to use but damn useful when you need to! In this video I try out 3 different software / plug ins to fix a blurred / out of focus portrait … Luminar Neo, On1 NoNoise AI 2023 and Topaz Sharpen AI … and the winner produces an insanely good result!

Funciona em iPad Pro m2?
Hi Glynn l am throughly enjoying your video. I was wondering what printer you are using. Thank again for a great video
It is not a good idea to take a single photo of a subject. Wonderful contribution. Thank you
Excellent, very informative software review.
AI Sharpen works, but it is very resource demanding. I am no expert, but it seems to reconstruct the photo using sharp areas as a template.
Focus-magic
Topaz Sharpen AI is excellent. On most slightly blurred or low res upscaled images it works really well. Now and again, on a few photos for which there was really no hope left, it did miracles.
It general, if sharpness is the only issue, Topaz can turn the resulting image off a $200 lens into into the result you would get off a $2000 lens.
ty for the video
topaz is good — just expensive .
I've become a big fan of the new Topaz AI programs. This past Autumn, I did a family portrait session that was scheduled for 3:30 in the afternoon at a local park. Because of the time and how we'd planned to shoot, I wasn't particularly worried about lighting. But because of some issues, they didn't show up until almost 5:00. In order to get the shots they wanted, I had to crank up the ISO.
Once I started editing, the noise was going to ruin the images. Topaz AI worked miracles not only in terms of noise, but the sharpening was impressive as well. Really saved the session, and I can't recommend them enough.
Skip the Topaz Sharpen and go for the Gigapixel instead. I use for everything!
Hi all! It seems i cannot find in App Store, could you suggest me how to?
What's actually surprising is it's 2023 and your just now learning about Topaz lol.. Topaz plugins has been an amazing plugin for YEARS and YEARS!
You mentioned trying the face enhancement option in Luminar Neo. The reason it looked so different is because that option swaps out the eyes in your image for someone else's eyes.
I will be more careful about discarding my favorite but blurry images from now on. Thanks for this softwares review.
I also added Gigapixel to rescue old photos that not only were very small but also noisy and blurred. That piece of software is really amazing. Also another old topaz customer since they started with the first apps and then Studio 1 … Just one thing, it's always better to open a tiff file instead of a raw file, I noticed that in Denoise, if you open a raw file all the oranges are muted or even grayed out. But yes, awsome apps that really made my edits much easier and better.
I imagine why Skylum didnโt pay you for the promotion of Luminar! ๐
So you went to all that time and effort with lighting etc and only took one shot, seriously?
I have and use Topaz and I never thought of adding a Black mask to apply selectively. Great idea….
Just wondering, and I have an EOS 7D, which is not top notch, but definitvely not bad at all, how much has focusing deteriorated from the analog days, when we had the spectacular 3 zones focusing system in any entry level camera (I am talking Nikon EM, not even FM family). Focusing at the closest eye to the camera was nearly straightforward these days, even with the vanilla 50mm lens. Today it is a chore, and I routinely get focus issues.
Iยดm using Topaz and Iยดm very happy with it!
Topaz has some magic in their tools for real, they saved a few of my pictures, and they also have a great resizing tool, not to mention the video editor that does the same in video footage but itโs temporally stable. You need to use with care as some settings gets you weird results if you arenโt gentle, but otherwise they can save pretty bad photos. I do agree the best results are masking together edited and unedited pictures and only using the important bits.
Mi'm doing it manually in PH with masks and blending. Maybe I will try the third app.
