[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 739445, member: 9240"] I've post elsewhere in this forum about how Topaz AI products have changed and greatly simplified my workflow. I have Denoise, Adjust, Sharpen, Mask, and Gigapixel AI products and use the first two on just about every shot I take. I've talked about them several times before so I'll just say if you're really interested you can find my posts elsewhere on them. Since you ask about Sharpen AI all I can say is it's a tool I use for fixing sharpening on unsharp photos and not to sharpen photos that are already sharply focused. It does an impressive job correcting OOF, blurred, and just plain soft photos, but the AI is very slow on my 2014 Macbook Pro and it can take a minute-plus just to render a preview (hint, I have "Auto-Generate Preview" turned off on every AI product except Adjust), and then I've waited as long as 10 minutes for it to fully render the image (we're talking a 20MP D500 raw file as input). [B][I]But[/I][/B], if you need to fix a shot then it's worth the wait. But for normal sharpening it's overkill. For that I start with Denoise, tweak in Camera Raw, and then enhance in Adjust. The main reason I have them all is because I've purchased them in bundles, which saves you significant money (it's a 45% discount), and if they add a new product to a bundle and you have all the others you can rebuy the bundle and they credit you for the ones you already have so you get that 45% discount and you can still apply any other discount code you have.
