Photo AI is Topaz's newest flagship product. Instead of using three separate plugins, Photo AI automatically detects and corrects noise, blur, and low resolution in one go. It’s the most efficient plugin for batch processing or quick fixes before deeper editing in Photoshop. Installation is straightforward, but you must ensure the plugin folder is correctly located.
Start with Topaz Photo AI (the all-in-one) or DeNoise AI (the most universally useful). The plugins often have a 30-day free trial, so test them on your own worst images before buying. Have you used Topaz plugins with Photoshop? Share your experience in the comments below!
Sharpen AI tackles three types of blur: out-of-focus, motion (e.g., a moving car), and general softness. Photoshop’s Smart Sharpen struggles with motion blur, often creating ghosting. Sharpen AI can actually reverse motion blur, making it look like a faster shutter speed was used. Best for: Enlarging small crops, old web images, or low-res stock photos.
