[QUOTE="Andy W, post: 743795, member: 44106"] My six year old Dell was struggling so much Denoise it wasn't usable. It would take up to 25 minutes to make one adjustment and save the photo. A Topaz tech support guy recommended installing a graphics card and that did the trick. I put in a GTX 1650 and it runs my trail Denoise and Sharpen just fine. I had tried Topaz Studio 2 because I heard that it was more resource friendly than Denoise and Sharpen. It ran slow but it was usable. After installing the graphics card I asked the tech support guy what the difference is between Denoise & Sharpen VS Studio 2: [SIZE=3][COLOR=#444444][FONT=Roboto]I need help to determine which Topaz product I need.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#444444][FONT=Roboto] [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#444444][FONT=Roboto]My wife and I are hobbyist wildlife photographers shooting a lot of birds, sometimes in low light with high ISOs.

[COLOR=#2B2E2F][FONT='inherit']As for your question, DeNoise AI and Sharpen AI are definitely more robust and effective for removing noise and sharpening, respectively, than Studio 2.
