This view makes it very easy to compare how the final image will look compared to the original. This will show the original, unprocessed image on the left and a preview of the processed photo on the right.

If you are comfortable with the DeNoise AI interface you can skip the next section and get straight to the Noise Reduction Settings The View Settings Sending an image to DeNoise AI from PhotoShop Once that is done you should send the image to Topaz Denoise AI to get started on noise reduction. Sharpening can be applied in DeNoise as well, or should be applied after the noise reduction process. If you’re processing with DeNoise AI it is better to let it handle 100% of the noise reduction. Just be sure to set any noise reduction and sharpening levels to zero at this stage of the editing process. You can read more about our suggested workflow in our article ‘Topaz AI Workflow’ As a first step you should apply any tone and colour adjustments in your favourite editor before sending to DeNoise AI. However we have found this not to produce the best results. Topaz Labs recommend that you run DeNoise as the very first step in post-processing. Incorrect settings can cause issues with certain hardware. You should also check these if you are getting any unexpected results after running the software. It will greatly speed up processing times. Enable Intel OpenVINO: If you set ‘Enable Discrete GPU’ to ‘No’ and you have a modern Intel processor you should enable this option.

Allowed graphics memory consumption: Higher settings will allow for faster processing, but may mean you won’t be able use your PC while processing images (everything will slow down to a crawl).

The graphics card will be used to process the images instead of the computers CPU and will (depending on the card) be faster.

Enable Discrete GPU: This should be ‘Yes’ if you have a modern Graphics card in your PC or attached in an external GPU setup.

The advanced preferences will determine which hardware in your PC is used to process your images. Open the preferences by clicking File -> Preferences on a PC or Topaz DeNoise AI -> Preferences on a Mac.

Below is an ISO8000 file from a Nikon D500 at 100% view. A Quick Sampleįirst let’s take a look at a sample image. It will be updated if Topaz introduces any changes to future versions. Note that this article has been written for v2.1.6. If you haven’t seen our comparison yet you can read it at: This article will take an in depth look at how to use Denoise AI. Recently we looked at how Topaz DeNoise AI compared to other leading noise reduction software and found it to do the best job of both removing noise and keeping detail in photos.
