De Noise has become part of my workflow for all images. Noise in many instances is the result of underexposed images, like you might get in poor light while trying to maintain a high shutter speed to freeze you subject (I shoot mainly birds). Under those conditions you might be questioning whether you should invest in a fast lens (a 400mm f/2.8 is a ton more expensive than a 400mm f/4) De Noise does such a good job you don't need that fast glass to keep the noise down. Well worth it IMO. AI Sharpen is good as well but IMO not nearly as necessary as De Noise. Right now, I have having some major issues with Sharpen. On my computer (MacBook Pro) it was painfully slow (the latest version) and now will not open. I am working with Topaz labs to try to get it back up and running, but so far no luck.

https://guide.topazlabs.com/studio2/I am a huge fan of Topaz Labs AI products. If I had to pick just three of their products they would be Sharpen AI, Denoise AI, and Adjust AI. With these three programs, I can do about 90% of what I routinely want to accomplish. They offer eight products in all. The Topaz Products FAQs below should answer any question about all of the eight products they offer including computer requirements. These eight Topaz Products come with a free trial and once purchased they have one year of free updates for each program. These Topaz Products AI programs are very powerful and a constantly being upgraded and updated free for one year. I use the default settings and I am seldom disappointed. Topaz products also automatically add a tag (prefix/suffix) to your file for nondestructive editing. Or, you may add your own prefix or suffix.
After you start to feel comfortable using their products then give the following a try:
After loading a file select all of the "Full Auto" selections, run "Update", then . . select File, Preferences, Reset, and Close.
This allows the program to select the best/fastest settings for your computer.
Now select "Save Image" as you desire for the type of file, location, etc.
Another hint. Close all programs not in use as this will allow your computer to perform at its best.
After doing this, open "Task Manager" select "Performance" and watch the graphs as the program processes the file to see if you have enough Memory/CPU etc.
Also: DO NOT select "Auto-Update Preview"!! It may be handy for making small changes but it will REALLY ADD to your processing times!
