I used it on a night shot of the Milky way, the effects were amazing. Removed about 90% of the noise while leaving the rest of the image pretty sharp. You can download a 30 day trial for free to see for yourself

How good is Topaz AI Sharpen and NR when used with PS? Please share your experience.
I make use of Sharpen A.I. and Denoise A.I. from Lightroom and Photoshop on many images. Always get very good results, probably use Denoise A.I. more often though.

Sharpen AI is always part of my PS work flow. It is also very good at removing smaller noise with no loss of detail, though when noise is severe, I use Denoise AI first.

My experience is with Topaz Denoise AI. The same as its predecessor it is an excellent software to remove noise without affecting the quality of the image.
I do not use Sharpen AI. Sharpening with Affinity Photo is so good that I always keep sharpening to a minimum.

I use both, and they are very effective. Using focus mode, Sharpen AI rescued some images that were taken with a malfunctioning 24mm lens that wasn't focusing properly.

I’ve been using Denoise AI and Sharpen AI with excellent results. Be aware, though, that Sharpen can be very slow. It sometimes takes several minutes to process an image.
I’d be curious to know, which Sharpen mode—sharpen, stabilize, focus—users use most?

I have used DeNoise and Sharpen for several weeks now. I am using DeNoise most, partially due to Sharpen being so slow! But on certain photos, Sharpen in Stabilize mode is very,very good, as it makes a so-so shot a good shot, just have to wait for it. So I mostly use stabilize.

I use some form of Topaz on every finished picture I publish. I am a big fan of AI Clear (DeNoise AI module). When I need a bit more help, such as trying to take photo of prop driven airplane at slow shutter speed for the prop blur, I'll use Sharpen. As to which function, it depends, but I look at all three. I've only had to do a selective mask once, the rest of the time the AI seems to do the trick, that is not to ruin the prop.
As mentioned, your experience with the products depends on your PC's configuration. The applications default to using the graphic card resources (memory). This can be changed to us the PC's memory, but it is not as efficient. Be sure to check the requirements page.

Good luck

For me DeNoise AI is worth every penny I paid for it.
I have been using DeNoise AI since its release. It is part of my standard workflow with anything greater than a 100mm lens. I also use Sharpen AI and Adjust AI as necessary. Topaz suggests using DeNoise before any other adjustments but personally I first open in ACR and use the Auto function to get a general idea of what the photo really looks like.

I use both. Find them excellent. Topaz AI Sharpen is slow but worth it as it can make a slightly OOF photo pop. I find I use Stabilize the most in AI Sharpen.

I have had great results with both Denoise AI and SharpenAI. I seem to have been using Sharpen AI in focus mode the most lately. It does slow the PP process, but the time spent is well worth it for me.

I have Sharpen AI, Denoise AI and Adjust AI. Love all three. My favorite was Adjust ( last version), but I'm getting use to the Adjust AI now.

I use them both, also. Although sharpen is slow, it's way faster and cheaper than going back for a re-shoot.
