The workflow I use is described in my initial comment. and I'm too old to warrant reinvesting in all that, since I'm not doing much paid work anymore. I didn't keep it because I would have needed all new lenses, flash equipment etc., etc. I tried an A7iv and it is so amazing, Photo Ai didn't improve its images much more than LR could. at least 'fine for me', but your mileage may vary. Admittedly, using the JPEG, you are giving it less data to chew on, but to me it works just fine with the JPEGs. That works the same once you're in TPAi but when it renders it out it does so as a DNG file which is 5 times the file size of the original Raw file and I could not find a difference processing that way or to a JPEG. They do have an additional option they recommend for RAW files and that is from the File Menu:įile/Plug in Extras/Process with Topaz Photo Ai. You'll get options for your choice of file type and resolution to choose from. Once Photo Ai is installed it can be invoked with a right click on the photo and Edit In/Topaz Photo Ai. Ĭlick to expand.The workflow I use is described in my initial comment. Just for more madness I hit the Auto Tone button in Lightroom on both of these. My camera has become Nikon D7200/Topaz Photo Ai whenever the ISO or sharpness needs to be tweaked. Sometimes they are so clean I add a hair of grain in LR. That's on Auto so I didn't even need to think about it and the file can still be tweaked in LR. There's just no way I can get to that without Photo Ai. Here's a sample of a model ship on my den shelf: I shoot a D7200 and get clean photos at ISO 12800.
The sharpening, noise reduction eye enhancement, etc. There I make another layer, send that to Topaz Ai and when I get it back I mask it and brush out or reduce the effects that I want to alter. Then after the first one shows done I click the button to process them all and they all get done on Auto settings and sent back to LR.įor those that it overkills I delete those JPEGS, select the raw files again and do Edit in/Photoshop. I generally run it in batch, sending 20 or more images to it at once from Lightroom, specifying that I want it to return JPEGS at resolution 300.
