Gigapixel AI is unique. While Photoshop’s "Preserve Details 2.0" upscaling simply stretches existing pixels, Gigapixel actually adds new, plausible detail. It can upscale an image up to 600% while maintaining sharpness. For print designers needing a 300 DPI file from a 72 DPI web image, this is indispensable. Best for: A streamlined workflow combining denoise, sharpen, and upscale.
DeNoise AI doesn't just smooth out grain; it analyzes the image, separates noise from real detail, and reconstructs that detail. You can shoot at ISO 6400 and get results that look like ISO 400. In Photoshop, you access it via Filter > Topaz Labs > DeNoise AI . It will output a new layer, leaving your original untouched. Best for: Slightly out-of-focus shots, motion blur, or lens softness. topaz photoshop plugins
Sharpen AI tackles three types of blur: out-of-focus, motion (e.g., a moving car), and general softness. Photoshop’s Smart Sharpen struggles with motion blur, often creating ghosting. Sharpen AI can actually reverse motion blur, making it look like a faster shutter speed was used. Best for: Enlarging small crops, old web images, or low-res stock photos. Gigapixel AI is unique
For photographers and digital artists, Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard. However, even Photoshop has limitations when it comes to certain complex tasks like noise reduction, upscaling low-resolution images, or applying artistic effects. This is where Topaz Labs plugins come in. For print designers needing a 300 DPI file
Photo AI is Topaz's newest flagship product. Instead of using three separate plugins, Photo AI automatically detects and corrects noise, blur, and low resolution in one go. It’s the most efficient plugin for batch processing or quick fixes before deeper editing in Photoshop. Installation is straightforward, but you must ensure the plugin folder is correctly located.
Topaz plugins are designed to integrate seamlessly with Photoshop, acting as external filters or standalone editors that dramatically extend the software's capabilities using advanced artificial intelligence (AI). While Photoshop has built-in features like "Reduce Noise," "Image Size," and "Oil Paint" filters, Topaz plugins often deliver superior results, especially with difficult images.
