Just checked on yearly updates for Topaz Gigapixel $79 and Photo AI $99. DeNoise and Sharpen no longer supported. I think I'll have to consider value received before renewing.

Try On1. You get it all for one price. About 80 bucks if I remember correctly.

Not sure what you mean by DeNoise and Sharpen “no longer supported.” Both are current programs offered by Topaz. Yes, you need to subscribe to receive updates after the first year. I chose not to get updates for Sharpen and Gigapixel because IMHO Photo does an adequite job, but I use DeNoise all the time. The pricing structure does seem to be pushing customers toward Photo AI.

If I open Denoise or Sharpen, it offers me a chance to upgrade. Gives me the impression it is still supported. Thanks for making this clear.

I suggest you consider Lightroom/Photoshop, which include both those functions and much more, for $ 120/year. Best of luck.

Still supported but it seems like they’re no longer being updated. All the new development is happening with Photo AI.

There was a early time in Topaz's development when you could buy everything they offered with 1 year of updates for $69. $79 for Gigapixel alone is ridiculous! Photo AI does a very adequate job for photo enlargement. The same applies for Video Enhance AI; many similar products that do at least as good a job for a fraction of the price!

Yep, that's why they have lost my business.
