[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 845738, member: 50197"] I currently have a copy of Topaz AI that I use for reducing noise and sharpening. I have been happy with Topaz with a caveat. I purchased the 3 individual programs several years ago, and was upgraded to Photo AI during the first year of purchase. I've had trouble with tiling artifacts on many images and so was unwilling to purchase upgrades until they fixed the issue. Well, now I discovered that Topaz has gone the subscription route and want $19 a month for their latest, and greatest. I have no idea whether they have fixed the tiling issue. I'm also unsure whether I would be able to transfer my current copy of Topaz to a new computer, when I decide to upgrade equipment, or the current computer fails. I have heard some good things about DXO. It is not a subscription, for now. Any experience with it? Any other suggestions? I'm in no hurry to replace Topaz, but would prefer to do it on my timetable, rather than needing to purchase and learn new software in a hurry. [/QUOTE]
