Photography news, before it happens

Topaz Labs released DeNoise AI version 3.4 with native Apple M1 silicon support, improved RAW file handling, and AI Engine performance improvements:

• Native Apple M1 silicon support – experience 20-30% performance improvement compared to the previous version that required Rosetta emulation.
• Expanded RAW file support – additional RAW support for many popular new camera models.
• AI Engine performance and stability improvements – process improvements to the AI engine, usability enhancements throughout the user interface, and a more streamlined installation process on the Mac. We also squashed a lot of bugs.

Topaz Labs also released Sharpen AI version 3.3.5 with new AI-powered auto-selection tools to help you mask and sharpen images faster and more precisely:

• Improved masking experience – Everything you need to apply selective sharpening has been made more intuitive thanks to the newly designed Masking panel.
• New AI-powered auto-selection tools – It’s even easier to selectively apply sharpening to the primary subject in your photo thanks to the new auto-selection tools. Choose from auto-detecting a subject, a portrait, or a landscape within your photo, and Sharpen AI will automatically create a mask of your selection.
• Improved usability with the new AI model selector – We’ve made many improvements to Sharpen AI, including making it easier to choose the most effective AI models for your photos thanks to the auto model selection and refreshed model list.
