Thinking about trying the Topaz products. Photo AI, DeNoise, Sharpen, and Gigapixel. They are running a very good sale on the bundle. Do many of you on here use any of those, do they work good, easy to learn and use, any info would help. Hope to make a decision real soon.

I'll be using it with Lightroom Classic and Photoshop.

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Note that in most cases there is a free trial period for you to use the software and decide for yourself if they are suitable for the post-processing you might do.

I have all the listed Topaz software and they work very well.

I'm on a PC with WIN 11 using LR and PS.

I didn't see a trial on this bundle but, has a 30 day return which is about the same. I'm on PC also running Win 10. Thanks for the positive answer.

Go ahead and download the software package you want, when you first run it, it will ask you to log-in or continue to use the free trial period...30 days as I recall.

Of course, things change, but that's how I remember it a few years back...you can always delete it if that isn't a suitable alternative.

I have all of them, they are user friendly and work well; already saved many photos from the "Delete" key.

I'll probably order the bundle of the four, looks like the best deal.

As I understand it the Photo AI software is to replace individual software - DeNoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel.

In practice it does seem to do just that, so be sure you understand that change created by the newly released Photo AI software.

I have heard that but I can get all four for the price of PAI or less even if they don't last much longer. 159, not too bad I don't think.

What is the status of your PC? These programs are very GPU intensive and if your PC doesn't have a fast GPU, you will find that they run rather slow. My PC is using the NVIDIA RTX3090, and the speed is very fast. Much faster than my old PC with the RTX1070.

The products are incredible. And I have seen tremendous improvement throughout the last few years as they perfect AI processing. Makes one wonder what we will see in 2023.

Actually it's an ASUS laptop with 500gb SSD for the OS and a 2tb regular drive, both internal. 16 gb ram, Nvidia GEFORCE GTX 950M, Intel i7.

Also, Google Topaz discounts. You can usually find a 15 or 20% discount code that works. Depending on how the sale price is listed (is there also. Box for an additional discount code?), you may be able to use both the sale price and an additional discount.

Be sure to watch for a Black Friday sale. I updated last year at a good price.
