Noisy, soft or too small photos? Topaz Photo AI’s Autopilot suggests a starting point for sharpening, denoising and other fixes, and you can also select individual enhancement tools, compare the result with the original, and process images locally or through cloud rendering.
A starting point with Autopilot
Open an image and let Autopilot suggest an enhancement, or choose a tool for a specific problem. A before-and-after view shows exactly what changed. Topaz Photo AI focuses on image correction, including soft detail, noise, and lighting or color issues.
Which image problems can it address?
The tools target distinct kinds of photo cleanup and detail recovery:
- Denoise reduces visible image noise, including noise in low-light photos.
- Sharpen and Super Focus address soft detail and focus.
- Recover Faces brings back facial detail, and separate lighting and color tools fix tone problems.
- Upscale enlarges an image, while Preserve Text is available for images containing text.
- Dust and Scratch, Remove, and Healing Brush address marks or unwanted image content.
Standalone and plug-in workflows
Run the application on its own or use it as a plug-in with Photoshop, Lightroom Classic or Capture One; Affinity Photo works after a manual plug-in installation. This lets photographers send an image through Topaz Photo AI's enhancement tools as part of an existing editing workflow.
Local rendering processes images on the computer, keeping the files there. Cloud rendering is another processing option for users who want to offload work from their hardware.
