By PR admin | Published: December 22, 2021

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.

The latest ON1 Photo RAW Update 2022.1 is now available (see what’s new). The new version 2022.1 includes an enhanced Sky Swap AI, a unique re-editable Liquify Tool, Snapshots, new photo organizing features in Advanced Search and Smart Albums, and several more features and enhancements.
