Does anyone have the 15% discount they would be willing to message me? I already have Denoise and Gigapixel, but not the Sharpen. I’d like to add that.

First, no worries at all about purchasing directly from Topaz. They have been in business for many years. If you are buying a download, you are dealing directly with the vendor anyway.

Does it work? In my experience, improvements in the basic image are generally possible, but not consistent. Sometimes the results are stunning, other times not so much. I will admit that I may still be on the learning curve. Currently, i use DeNoise AI on almost every image, and Sharpen only when needed. You might take a look at DeNoise as well. DeNoise also has a sharpening function, although it may function differently.

And pay careful attention to the computer requirements that they recommend. A computer without a good graphics card and sufficient graphics memory will not be satisfactory.

Topaz frequently offers discounts on their products, and other Hoggers should have codes for you to use.

Great Advice!

Try this from Anthony Morganti. Scroll down until you get to the Topaz section. I used it on both Sharpen and Denoise when they were already on sale and got additional off about 8 months ago. He does state in the ad that you might not get the added discount if the product is already on sale. I also used his discount on top of an upgrade price of ON1 PR and got another 15%. Worth a try.

A fellow just used my code and messaged me it worked for him for 15% off. So, if anyone wants it, just PM me.

I'm interested in Topaz Sharpen AI software. Does it work as advertised? Any problems ordering the software through them? Because it isn't available in my regular resellers (B&H and Amazon), that is a potential red flag concerning a purchase through them.


I recently bought Sharpen AI from Topaz and had no problem. I am very happy with the software and it does a good job. If your photo is in focus, you won't notice anything at all or at least a very small improvement, but if your photo is out of focus or a little blurry, the result is amazing.

I have Topaz's full suite of products. Sharpen and DeNoise are the two I use the most.

If your images have any noticeable noise, it is probably better to DeNoise them prior to Sharpening. If you're starting from a JPG file, use Topaz JPEG to RAW AI to start from a 16 bit file.

Topaz has some tremendous sales on occasion. I bought their full suite of eight products for about $99 a couple of years ago and an annual update on all of them for $29 as part of their Black Friday special. Sign up for their newsletter and keep an eye open for specials!

I cant seem to get a straight answer from Topaz as to it properly fuctioning with Big Sur on a MAC ProBook....When it first came out there were tons of issues with it, and a lot of "Hold Off"....Neither Apple or Topaz want to seem to commit & put it in writing


Thats because they don't have a clue as to what's going on.

I would say that Sharpen is magical, but not miraculous. Definitely worth the money, and I definitely use it as needed. When you need it - say, those wedding pics, or shots of your relatives that are now passed away, or that birthday party that you can't re-do, it can absolutely save you if you have a great shot that is slightly out of focus. I have been amazed at seeing it fix an otherwise useless image (magical), but it doesn't work all the time - it seems that it's algorithms can only do so much. (they can't perform miracles). I will say that over the year of photographing things, I always ended up with shots that I loved but were just a little bit fuzzy. I'm so glad I never deleted those. Sharpen has been able to fix quite a few of them. They do go on sale every so often - their best deals seem to be on Black Friday.

Sharpen definitely has its place in the photography toolbox. I've included an example; neither is fabulous but the After is better.

And their Black Friday sales have been great!
