The impressively candid response from them was “We’re fully aware of some of the issues RAW files have with our software. The problem was that my Canon CR images were appearing brown and drab when opened in Studio 2. I discussed this with the wizards at Topaz last May and then again in December.
#Topaz studio 2 vs denoise ai series#
If I’m processing a series of images I have to cause it to reopen for each image. Then I can adjust away but when I’m done and click on Accept in Studio 2 it will return the image to my PS screen BUT then close itself down. Then I can call it into Studio 2 by clicking on that in the PS pull-down filter menu*. So, where’s the rub? Workflow inefficiencies. Below it is the image after running it through AI Clear. It was never a good image being a bit fuzzy. Herewith a Sanibel racoon made in 2009, captured in Canon CR and rendered here as a jpg after conversion in CS6. Yes, amazing, and I’ve found it beneficial in other images for the book which were made within the last ten+ years and still in my files as Canon CR format. On the right is the result of applying AI Clear to that pbase file. The slide was printed and eventually the print was scanned on to a pbase gallery page. On the left is a print from a slide made in 1965. I find that Topaz’s AI Clear in Studio 2 adds vitality and sharpness.
The next book involves using a number of older images processed years ago in various Adobe generations. I have a project underway for another book (shameless commerce plug: see ). On the other hand (as Tevye would say) I’m amazed at some of the things I can do in Topaz that I can’t do in PS. Don’t know if I can do things like that in Topaz. As an example the side-by-side below was assembled with layers in PS. So far It seems that I can do things in PS that I can’t do in Topaz but maybe I’ll learn (any unused neurons still there?). I’ve certainly not put Photoshop (from Elements currently to CS6) out to pasture. I want to share some experiences with Topaz 2 which might be helpful to my colleagues.įirst, I like it a lot.
