Automatic setting is totally ridiculous and creates Madame Tussauds wax figures. I usually need to scale them down by 80% or even 90%, not 50%. I would not use Topaz Photo AI for a photo like this and absolutely never with those automatic settings. That said, I will say that when you need to rescue a slightly missed focus shot, Topaz does a much better job and will make keeping it around useful. I do slightly prefer LR over Topaz for people because I feel LR just does a better job of retaining more natural-looking detail and doesn't have that color shift. I can't upload client portraits, but I will say that they do about the same job. I still need to play around with it and will most likely settle on something between the two. To me, the noise removal is much better at 100%, but you get a bit more detail in the fur at 50%. When using LR, the difference between 100% and 50% isn't that noticeable, but there is a difference. LR still has a bit of an 'artificial' look, but not as glaring to my eyes.

Topaz just makes fur look 'artificial' to me, and I am not a fan of how it looks. Where LR pulls ahead in how realistic any added detail looks.

Even taking the settings 1/2 way back, it still looks 'fake' or 'artificial' to me. I did dial back all the settings to 1/2 of what the program applied. The program wanted to add sharpening, so I went with it. Not a fan of the color shift, and I have still not been able to get the colors back to what I like. After noise removal, I used my standard wildlife preset that I use on all my wildlife photographs.įirst, something I noticed from the first time I used Topaz is the way it changes the color in the photos. This photo was taken using my OM1 with the Olympus 75-300 with the following settings: ISO 2500, 1/2000 ƒ6.7, handheld. So, let's take a look at Topaz and the new LR on a fox photo.

I have always felt that the detail any of the AI programs would put back in after removing noise looked way too 'fake' or 'artificial.' But I was never really satisfied with how it worked on, say, my fox photos. I found it to work really well on people in my portraits as well as for my Northern Light Photos. After downloading several different trials, I ended up going with Topaz Photo AI. A month or so ago, I needed some help to rescue some portraits I had done during a Northern Lights tour.
