But in its defense, there are thousands of calculations happening precision takes time. If you are accustomed to Adobe’s Unsharp Mask making very fast adjustments, the speed of Sharpen AI might not satisfy immediately.

On my Windows PC, which is a rather robust computer with 32GB of RAM but a medium speed CPU, Topaz Labs Sharpen AI ran relatively slow. If you don’t know, Topaz Studio is dedicated 100% to creative photo post-processing and is additionally attractive because it costs just $99. In fact, I found the performance so amazing that I plan to evaluate Topaz Studio 2 soon, just to see what else I’ve been missing. To avoid using a cliché I won’t say that the results were an eye opener, but I truly was surprised by the improvements made to almost every test image. The three Sharpening Models (Motion Blur, Focus and Softness) and the original can be viewed simultaneously. Topaz Labs recommends it should be used instead of traditional sharpening on finely detailed features like eyes, feathers, leaves, and stars.

The Softness model works best to give already-good images a little extra sharpness without diminishing other elements of high quality. It doesn’t always work (understandably) but it can save many images that are otherwise useless. The Focus model reduces lens blur caused by missed focus. Note that camera/lens image stabilization reduces the negative effects of camera shake but cannot correct for subject movement. Motion Blur model reduces the softness caused by a camera or subject movement. Topaz Sharpen AI, on the other hand, sharpens by targeting and reversing three specific types of blur to create much more natural results without introducing noise or digital artifacts.

This mitigates the unsharp appearance but doesn’t truly sharpen the image in the strictest sense of the word.

Most sharpening software tools improve apparent sharpness by brightening the edges of objects in an image. Sharpen AI applies a new and unique solution to the problem of fuzzy pictures. Topaz Sharpen AI uses Artificial Intelligence to remove unsharpness from digital images without introducing artifacts or unnatural side effects. Bottom panel – with Sharpen AI from Topaz Labs.
