[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 772693, member: 24569"] I use Topaz Denoise and Sharpen AI and like them both. The company drives me a little crazy, though. They have an update available so frequently that it seems like almost every time I open the program there is a notice about a new version. I guess I should be glad that they are staying on top of things, but at times I have uploaded the new version and found that something doesn't work quite as well, or that I don't really like the interface change. A couple of days ago I updated bit Sharpen and DeNoise and after I could not use either as a Plug-in from Lightroom. I quick trip to customer support and I discovered an "easy" fix for DeNoise provided by Topaz. [url]https://support.topazlabs.com/article/84-denoise-v3-3-lightroom-plugin-processing-button-says-save-image-instead-of-apply[/url] This involved deinstalling, resetting some Lightroom preferences, then reinstalling. I followed these instructions, and after a couple of tries, I got it right and I was back in business. But, what about Sharpen? There was no help provided on the support page, so I just followed the same procedure as outlined for DeNoise. Uninstalling and reinstalling took much longer, but again, I got things back in working shape. All together, all this updating took me a good hour or so for the two programs. It could have taken much less if they notified customers about the needed procedures ahead of time instead of making me look it all up online. Now there are new interfaces and supposedly improved performance, but I see it just as a different interface, not better. If anything, I think that Sharpen doesn't handle motion blur as well as in the past. Ugh. :) [/QUOTE]
