Topaz AIclear is great. But Topaz leaves a lot to be desired. Bought Gigapixel and it did not appear in Studio. This was Friday and cannot get it activated. Had this problem before. No fun working with Topaz. They had a long Thanks Holiday. No one to help.

I have Topaz DeNoise and am looking at AIClear. Can anyone tell me if there is a real big difference between the to warrant the cost of AI Clear


I have Topaz DeNoise. When Topaz came out with Studio I watched a number of the webinars and really liked the outcome of AI Clear so I bought it. It does work as an Adjustment in Studio. It has recently been upgraded and has more features. It works not only to remove noise but to add sharpness to the image because removing noise does tend to soften the image. So in my opinion, AI clear does the job much better then DeNoise. The Topaz Studio program is free and comes with lots of good FREE tools. You just have to pay for the extras. And AI Clear is so much easier to use. For me, it was well worth the cost. And Topaz has been offering some Black Friday deals. Or if you sign up and watch any of the Webinars at the end they include a 20% discount code to buy any of their products. Well worth looking into.

Thanks! About 2 months ago I ask for a recommendation for a denoise program the general consensus was topaz denoise. Now that I have purchased it this new clear thing comes along I’m wondering if I made the right decision

AI Gigapixel is a stand alone which means it is not in Studio. It does a pretty good job for what it was designed for....Rich

You should be able to obtain a free trial of A.I Clear. I loooked at it myself in Topaz Studio ( not the crippled built in, but the pro trial in Studio).

From what I saw I was able to get as good or better noise removal by using Denoise properly, or by using DXO prime noise reduction.

I may not have looked closely at the A.I sharpening it did, but I did not buy it yet.

For many, it is probably worth the price, but I was not moved enough to plunk down my dollars for it at that time.

FWIW - I looked again at A.I. Clear, when I first looked at it it was the first version, Topaz has since updated it and I did see enough of a difference in the results to plunk down my money and add it to my Topaz Studio collection!

I make use of it quite often now vs Denoise, but Denoise does still give more control, so I still use Denoise for some tweaking that A.I. Clear cannot easily do.
