With images I tested, up to ISO 25,600, the results were vastly improved with far less detail loss than other competing programs, just not quite to the DxO level. The new DeNoise AI advances the technology in DeNoise 6 and incorporates AI Clear to produce the best noise reduction I have found short of DxO’s PRIME noise reduction found in the Elite edition of DxO PhotoLab 2.

Those programs that deal with fine detail too often sharpen noise, or create haloing and other artifacts. Most sharpening programs simply enhance edge contrast without regard to fine detail.

(For a sense of how you can teach software to learn how to make pleasing images, check out this article from our sister pub.) Topaz Labs has recently introduced four new software products that have been subjected to from many thousands to reportedly millions of test images and has “taught” the software to produce results that users would want to make workflow more efficient.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the latest buzzword in the image enhancement lexicon.
