I have been working with the new Topaz Adjust AI for a couple of weeks. I am not an expert but I am reaching progress understanding what the program can do. The results I get are mostly from modifying to my taste what the program does to the image. It has plenty of presets that I seldom use since I prefer to manipulate the image to my taste as I already stated. I am very pleased with this new program and it is my opinion that AI indeed enhances our images with a minimal of effort on our part.

Camera: Olympus Pen EP-5 with EVF-4.
Lens: Zuiko ED 12-40 f2.8 Pro.
Tripod: Cheap aluminum Dolica tripod with a Linhof ballhead.

It looks well ramped up with nothing too extreme or garish. Some might say that the orange rocks are a bit too much, but my guess is that's what they'd look like in strong, evening sunlight.

Beautiful image. I don't know what you started with, but so far I like what you have done. May I suggest that you level the horizon. Keep up the good work.

Mid-tones need lifting to bring out the image potential.

"Some might say that the orange rocks are a bit too much, but my guess is that's what they'd look like in strong, evening sunlight." The mountains are exactly the way I saw them when I made the image. I prefer pastel colors and did not let the software do its thing.

"May I suggest that you level the horizon. Keep up the good work." I did level what I thought was the horizon but I saw just a little change when done. Perhaps it looks slightly better.

"Mid-tones need lifting to bring out the image potential." I tried but it did not fit my taste compared to what I have here.

Thank you for the interesting suggestions.

Sedona is a paradise for photographers and the new Topaz Adjust AI works beautifully with the images when it comes to enhance them. I will have to post examples of before and after but they will go into the Post Processing section.
As I already said the program is excellent but my experience with it is limited to perhaps a couple of weeks so I am still learning. Like the previous Adjust 5, I prefer to manipulate the effect done to the image by the software modifying it to my taste.

What called my attention when I downloaded the software was how little effort I had to use to see a dramatic change in the quality of my images.

In this particular shot I had to reduce color saturation and added a hint of warmth to make it look like I actually saw the original subject. An enlargement of this pano to 12x18 shows all the details and vivid colors.

Thank you Bill for you nice comments.
