Topaz Labs released major upgrades to Topaz Photo and Astra: Wonder 2 is now local, plus Starlight Fast 2 and Scene Controls are now in Astra. Here’s what’s new:

Topaz Wonder 2 (now runs locally in Topaz Photo): Wonder 2 is our newest image enhancement model that denoises, sharpens, and upscales in a single step, with no sliders or tuning required. It is a giant, powerful model that now runs locally thanks to our proprietary NeuroStream technology, which dramatically reduces VRAM usage and allows powerful AI to run on standard creator hardware.

Topaz Astra update: Astra now includes Starlight Fast 2, along with new scene detection and batch rendering. These updates allow creators to enhance videos faster and process multiple files more efficiently, making Astra more powerful for real-world workflows.
