Does it do a better job than DxO PRIME reducing noise? Perhaps… but in my assessment only to a very marginal degree. I really like Topaz Denoise AI and will using it with the majority of my photographs. It should also be noted that the optical quality of the lenses that a photographer uses may impact their impression of the relative effectiveness of Sharpen AI. I used Sharpen AI with the first three images in this article. When Sharpen AI works well, it can make a positive difference with photographs. If I didn’t do a good job upfront with exposure, focusing and composition with a photograph, it isn’t worth my time to mess around with it in post, even when using Sharpen AI. I did spend a few hours trying to ‘save’ weaker photographs and came to the conclusion that a bad image, is simply a bad image. There are some expectations that Sharpen AI can help a photographer ‘save’ a bad image.

Olympus OM-D E-M1X + M.Zuiko PRO 40-150 mm f/2.8 with M.Zuiko MC-20 teleconverter 300 mm, efov 600 mm, f/5.6, 1/2500, ISO-400, Pro Capture H mode And, sometimes it makes things worse and creates artifacts in the process. Sometimes the program doesn’t seem to have any impact. I’ve found Sharpen AI to be finicky to use and the results that I have been able to achieve with it have been inconsistent. I will be using Sharpen AI, but likely on a sporadic basis.
So as you continue reading this article please remember… just because I do what I do… doesn’t mean that you should do what I do. Many people prefer to do all of their adjustments in one program, while others use a combination of software. Each of us also has a unique way that we like to work with our photographs in post. It is important to state upfront that every photographer has their own expectations when it comes to their images. Most also wanted to know if I would be using Topaz Sharpen AI on a regular basis. During this period I’ve had a number of personal emails from readers asking if I’ve decided to keep using DxO PRIME or switch to Topaz Denoise AI. It’s been about 2 weeks since I began experimenting with integrating Topaz AI into my post processing workflow.
