This is the latest offering from Topaz and as I already had Topaz Focus I was able to get this as a free upgrade. I'm usually a bit sceptical about AI as a marketing gimmick but I tried it on a recent supermoon photo I took and I was impressed with the result. I had previously sharpened in Lightroom but Topaz did a really nice job and interestingly it was the Stabilize setting that worked best - that's the setting for camera shake and although I'd used a fairly fast shutter speed 1/250 and the lens (at 230mm) is stabilised I didn't use a tripod and it was a cold night so I guess I shook. Moon on the left is straight out of the camera (a 100% crop) and the one on the right has Topaz Sharpen AI applied with the default Stabilize setting (click to see the actual images).  Tony |

Tony, this is quite impressive. Thanks for sharing!
I got Sharpen AI free as well. I am getting ready to install it. |

I had it free too, and have installed it, but to be honest, I'm not seeing any improvement in any of the images I tried. I'm wondering why, as my computer has enough power. Could it be that my GPU is not up to it?

Could it be that my GPU is not up to it? I doubt that's a factor as that should only effect the time to process and not the result. I think it depends a lot on the image - I had to look around to find images that it helped. Tony |
