Each template applies a particular look, and when you open an image, the software suggests a set of appropriate templates. The software features a set of templates developed in consultation with imaging experts.

Luminar 4 includes a handful of AI-based image enhancement tools, but as the name indicates, Luminar AI is built entirely around artificial intelligence. Users of the older Topaz Studio have a lot of upgrade options depending on what they bought to populate that earlier version of the software. That’s the idea behind Skylum's Luminar AI, the successor to the company’s popular Luminar 4 photo enhancer. One promise of AI is that it can incorporate the know-how of an imaging specialist while giving you the flexibility to adjust the results. Yes, features such as Photoshop’s Auto Tone and Auto Color offer single-click enhancements, but they don’t always produce ideal results, and they’re not made for achieving stylized looks. But for me, it is less desirable than an NR tool that offers me more localized control.Enhancing images in Photoshop or other image editors often requires mastery of Camera Raw, Curves adjustments, luminosity masks, and other complex functions (for example, see our guide to luminosity masks in Photoshop). PureRaw does a fine job, but does its "take it or leave it" approach to these issues really reduce its overall value? THAT is something each of us ultimately must decide for ourselves. I have recently learned that Lr's noise reduction has this ability as well. That doesn't mean I'm going to get rid of my Topaz tools though, they are paid for, and they might have some value for SOME photos.īoth On1 and the Topaz tools have the ability to selectively mask areas of the photos for NR and sharpness, and then subsequently modify overall sharpness and NR if it isn't perfect. I recently bought On and I am quite satisfied with it's ability to control noise and sharpness in high ISO ORF files.

But I do think they ultimately lead to false assessments of overall value.


These things are fun to view and fun to make. The biggest problem with these types of articles is that they bog us down in minute differences when the truth is, all "AI" software of this sort is good enough for most people and most uses.

That hasn't happened before the update ever and i eas just zooming in and out to compare the results. By the way LRC crashed my MacBook twice I mean completely nothing not even the mouse worked and then restarted by itself.
#Topaz adjust ai vs luminar manual#
Advanced users can edit pictures in a manual mode by using sliders. If you aren’t a top-notch professional photographer yet, make sure to choose the latter. So this was not a a picture with bad noise and i know that Topaz DeNoise AI does a really good jobeven with a lot of noise and i do use the Sharpen AI sometimes as well and works great. The Topaz Sharpen AI has an intuitive user interface with two main editing modes, namely a manual or auto one. Speed wise i would say LRC DeNoise AI was a little faster, but not better in the end result. LRC doesn't give you much settings to change. So if i compare all three Topaz is still the winner because it not only removed noise but add sharpness to the picture and i can change settings if i don't like the results. Topaz DeNoise AI removed Noise and contained sharpness a touch better then LRC DeNoise AI. New LRC DeNoise AI removed Noise very welland fast, but still a little soft when zooming in. Denoise manual in LRC removed most of the noise, but made picture soft as well. noise wasn't to bad on the picture, but there was some. The picture i used foe now was shoot indoors with a Nikon D750 no flash ISO set to Auto -> 4500, tamron dx 18-400mm set to 35mm, f5.6 and speed to 1/320 sec (all manuel except iso). Just look at the Topaz Labs Image Quality bundle with only 3 apps for 199.- for the first year and 99 a year after that and that only gives you 3 apps and no editing platform in the price so 3 apps are nearly the same price as the 7 from Skylum which also includes Luminar Neo in the prices. So I updated LRC just now to see how this new DeNoise Ai works. I have been using Topaz DeNoise AI and Topaz Sharpen AI about a year now and really like the results.
