but obviously when selected, although C1 tried to execute Topaz Denoise AI.exe from that directory, Topaz Denoise AI failed with an error. So just as a quick test, i put a copy of the Topaz Denoise AI.exe in that directory - the Topaz Denoise AI ICON now displayed in the Edit With list. except for the denoise application which worked.Ĭapture One is trying to access all the Topaz applications from the same directory of C:\Program Files\Topaz Labs LLC\Topaz DeNoise AI - regardless of where the application is actually installed.Įach Topaz application is actually installed under its own directory:Ĭ:\Program Files\Topaz Labs LLC\Topaz | path - System.IO.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Phase One\Capture One 20.0.3\Plugins\OpenWith\Topaz Denoise AI.exe Then tried grepping through the logs and came across this - basically the path to the Topaz applications is wrong. Looking through the logs, and i am now expert, there are various lines stating unable to find the exe files - which is not surprising because they are not located in the directories Capture One is looking in.Īt one point tonight, Edit With Topaz Denoise actually worked - and i noticed that when it did work, the Topaz application ICON was next to the plugin name - unlike the other Topaz application plugins - they were listed by no icon next to them. The Plugings for the Topaz applications (Studio, Mask Sharpen, DeNoise, Gigapixel, Adjust, Mask) are all listed in the Plugin preferences AND ticked, BUT they do not work.Īlso as a note the Topaz Application ICONS are NOT shown - suggesting Capture One cannot even read the icon from exe file of the application. The Plugins Edit With/Open With for Affinity works fine. But in the end, a blurry photo always goes into the trash.I currently use other imaging applications such as Topaz and Affinity. If you shoot JPEG, then sharpening will be applied in-camera. All you are doing in RAW workflow is bringing out the sharpness that was already captured. Remember, sharpness starts with good technique in the field. And sometimes this fixes the issue, and other times it is just bad camera technique on my part. I’ll do my normal sharpening in Photoshop, and if I don’t have the acuity I expect, then I will run the image through Topaz Sharpen AI. I use Topaz Sharpen AI for problem images. For photographers who work daily in LrC or PS you might be happy with your own sharpening workflow in Adobe.
#Topaz sharpen ai plugin how to#
For photographers wondering how to get good results sharpening (over sharpening produces nasty halos) this plugin is will do the job nicely. Slider control allows you to add more or less sharpening. Images looked sharp, but not over sharpened.
How well does it work? I found the updated version did a better job than the original. Just open the image in Sharpen AI and the program does the work and applies sharpening. No second guessing slider movements and wondering how things come out. One thing that is nice about these AI plugins is they analyze the image and apply an effect that the program thinks is the right amount. But the process most photographers will use daily is the basic Sharpen function. Each one addresses an issue that causes your image to look soft or even blurry. Topaz Sharpen AI offers Sharpen, Stabilize and Focus sharpening actions. And now you can view all three different sharpening actions in a split screen view. The new version also lets you mask areas of the image to selectively apply sharpening (sound familiar…similar to LrC and PS). You can now batch process many images at once, which is very handy. Topaz has updated Sharpen AI since I last discussed it, and it has new features you will like. I have never seen better results reducing noise as Topaz DeNoise produces. However, it didn’t have the ‘wow’ factor that Topaz DeNoise AI had.
I liked the program, and it worked well for sharpening images.
Last year I talking about Topaz Sharpen AI.
