I love Topaz Simplify. I use it often but I do lower the level. I have used BuzSim, and the variations of it.
Here are 2 samples one with BuzSim and one with the BuzSim Black and White.

My discount was for $265.00


What did you buy? That is NOT the discount for Photo AI.

Not exactly my style, but these are attention-grabbing shots. Good work.


Thanks so much. The camera club I belong to has a creative competition. I use these kinds of images and sometimes get a good score.

I have been a long time photographer. I love playing in photoshop and making composites, adding things and creating a different image.
Here are some of my composites.

I just learned that Topaz Photo AI controls DeNoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel all together. I just downloaded Topaz Photo AI last night. I haven't had a chance to use it yet. As I understand it you do your editing in Topaz Photo AI, if you are working on a Raw it will save it as a DNG file. From there I have no idea.......yet.


I used Photoshop 2022. Photo AI is in my filter list. I had to use the stand alone product to be able to use gigapixel with a raw image. I can do the DeNoise and Sharpen with Photo AI in the photoshop app. In the stand alone product you can decide where & how to save the image. It doesn't have to be a DNG.

I hope this helps.

I think it should be called Pay Boo Whoo Whoo. I from the start when B&H first offered Payboo it was strange and gave me an uncomfortable feeling. And is seems my cautions were justified. I had no interest in signing up for it anyway. I figured I had already purchased a lot of mail order from out of state for years with out paying any California sales tax and even once they could collect it, it took a while for B&H and CA to come to an agreement. So most of my B&H purchases have been tax free. Now even Amazon and some eBay sales collect sales tax. I do not go in to credit debt to try to skirt sales tax.

That is cool you one can buy direct from Nikon. I know Dell sells computers directly too. If I were I Nikon user I might go that route. Sadly It is hard to get Pentax these days from any source.

You are misinformed. I live in NY, sales tax here is almost 9%. You are fortunate that your purchases from B&H are tax free. I have NEVER gone into credit card debt. I pay my bills as soon as they come in. With the new Payboo card buyers have a choice, to either avoid the tax or to pay it off interest free for 12 months. I always choose to avoid the tax.

I have the three apps, and use Sharpen and DeNoise regularly. I rarely use Gigapixel. What are the benefits of using Photo AI rather than Sharpen and DeNoise, as needed?


It is one app that has all three. So you only need to put an image into the one app.
I love it. I do find it is faster than Sharpen.

I think you might be able to try a trial.

I am always surprised when ever the administration allows yet another one sided, not verified, dirty laundry post.
I too have had issues with outstanding companies, I have always been able to work things out, including B&H.
When folks use this forum to blast an honest, hard working company without the other side of the story being told I believe it is just wrong.
Folks are not guilty until proven so in our courts, but on this side you are guilty without a fair trial.
Shame, shame on the administration.

Thank you Bill for your post.
One issue and he posts a mean spirited post about a company that is only trying in these difficult times to stay open. I have had such great experiences with B&H. When I ran the meetup, not only did they donate a very nice door prize for our yearly dinner, but they paid for and sent someone to hand it to the winner. They did a lensbaby workshop for us, bringing many different lensbabies to us to try and play with.

I only buy from B&H. Never had a problem. Always had great service. Never had any problem with either old or new PayBoo.


I completely agree with you. I have also used both the old and the new cards.

This review was based on the old Payboo card.

PROS & CONS OF B&H PAYBOO CREDIT CARD

The Good
You pay the tax, we pay you back instantly. B&H Payboo Card tax-equivalent loyalty reward offer is valid on all NYC SuperStore purchases and online and by-phone orders based on customer’s ship-to address, and subject to state eligibility (check here). Entire purchase must be made with the B&H Payboo Card to qualify for this offer. If a portion of the purchase is paid for with another form of payment (e.g., cash, another credit card, or a gift card), it will not be eligible for this offer.
No annual fee.
Instant Credit Decision - use your new card right away if you're approved.
B&H payboo Credit Card reports to multiple credit bureaus.

The Bad
High interest rates.
Higher than average purchase APRs.
Does not offer a signup bonus.
Does not offer rewards or cash back.
You don't earn rewards on every purchase.

You can Google it as easily as I did.
I don't do Google searches for others when they can do it easily.
Key word.
Payboo


I just did google it and the reviews don't make much sense to me.
So your comment that the reviews are universally negative are not correct.
The advantage is you have a choice to either avoid the tax or get 12 month interest free.
Those are the perks!!!

***There Is No Bonus Opportunity
One of the main benefits that B&H is banking on attracting interest is the lack of annual fee. Well, the card also lacks any introductory opportunity to rack up extra rewards. It's important to note that buying video or audio equipment can be a decent chunk of cash — one that is large enough to satisfy the spending thresholds on a number of more versatile cards. For example, spending $3,000 in the first 3 months of card membership would be enough to take advantage of a 60,000-mile bonus promotion after opening a Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card***

When you stop and think of all the things that are important in life this is not one of them.


Absolutely!!! After just returning from East Cuba, my 4th trip, I am so grateful for what I have. I ended up giving our guide, my sneakers, 4 shirts, backpack, fanny pack along with all the *things* I brought for the guide and our wonderful drivers. They have access to so little and we have access to much.

It was another reality check for me.

I looked at reviews of payboo and they are pretty much universally negative.


Can you post where you are seeing reviews? I had the old payboo card and I have the new one.
I have only had very positive experiences with B&H. Are they perfect, no not all all. They are in the business to make money, as all businesses are. Do they make mistakes, yup, is anyone perfect? Nope.
