Debating on purchasing Topazi Photo AI to enhance some of my images that I can't fix up with a combination of GIMP and RawTherapee. So far I've been getting some pretty interesting results. Image on the left is the source and on the right is Topaz enhanced. Be sure to click on the images to really see the difference Thoughts?

The original image was much darker so to get it to be visible I had to crank up the exposure which added much more noise. The Topaz did a great job removing the noise and sharpening the image (though I may have increased that setting to be a bit too high.)

I chose this one since the crow wasn't in focus. Since the AI doesn't know what details to fill in it makes sense it's not going to refine the feathers as if it were in focus. Example being that there's no info to suggest what it's beak feathers are supposed to look like. Only a matter of years before you can give the software reference for the subject to make it appear like it's truly in focus. Overall did a pretty good job refining it.

Great job removing the noise on this though I never ran this image through RawTherapee. This was already a pretty high quality photo so it really did a great job enhancing the details already present.

Got some weird blurring on this one as if the eye area was out of focus. Not really the best use on here though I probably could have toned down some settings to just reduce the noise and not sharpen up the image as much.

Long exposure taken over the Las Vegas strip with an Inspire 1 RAW in 2016. The photo is a long exposure and the original had some blur in the buildings due to the drone moving. I used Topaz AI to remove the blur and clear the photo. The future is here today. Show that AI will not replace designers, photographers and filmmakers but it will give us tools to bring photos like to a new life.  PS: This photo was taken before the law regarding UAVs in USA. Still, I flew from the top of the parking lot of the Bellagio and had 100% visual control of the drone and was flying over an area where very few and only cars were passing.

Some less common winter colors of nature. One of the times I was shooting pics of the waves at Cape Disappointment, I saw these trees and liked the colors of the new growth complimenting the white bark. In ways, untended nature certainly becomes a tangled mess very quickly like the branches of the trees. But it even in that I see the marvelous intricacies it gives. I think we too often like our manicured versions of nature - and I do love that as well. But we need to be careful to also let nature be nature. I didn't have my camera settings as good as I should have, so this image was more blurry from hand-holding a 1/15 second shot. But thanks to TopazAI Sharpening, it cleaned up pretty nicely. Granted, if I were to enlarge it, you would see a lot of artifacting, but at least I have a reasonably clean memory of what I was seeing that day. I've been back since to shoot more waves and I look at these trees each time, but the colors have never since looked like this when I've been there. One of these days.... . Jan 20 .

CLASSIC WHO ‘REGENERATED’:    AN UNEARTHLY CHILD 

“But, it was just a telephone box!” “Perhaps...”

Trying out a more extreme restoration here. It’s not very clear in gif form, but this clip has been fully de-noised and restored to HD using TopazAI processing. Key-frames were then manually enhanced and colourised, then applied to all frames using EBSynth. There are a few artefacts, so I’d still consider it a WIP, but I figured it was of an high enough quality to post here.

Shot of Tomato the Crow. Shots like this is why I'm considering purchasing TopazAI to enhance them.

TopazAI really is doing a great job cleaning up the photos. Well worth the purchase. Here's Breadsticks with some egg on their beak. Tried editing them out but couldn't get it to look right.

A rest stop along the highways of South Dakota. I've said before that as much as I like flying and seeing things from the air, I also like doing road trips where I can see a lot more detail up close. While one of my daughters and I were driving across the USA this past summer, we of course spent many hours driving across the great plains of mid-America. In South Dakota where the nomadic tribes of native Americans used to roam and live in tee-pees, they have these symbolic concrete tee-pee towers. I snapped this pic as we drove by one well into blue hour. I had seen them along the way and wanted to get such a pic and finally had my camera ready. And I like how the white and blue contrasts so well. Some times I get lucky with a shot. But since it was getting dark, I'm glad I had some reasonably fast glass but I still had to spend some time in Lightroom and TopazAI. .
