Your sound is mono on YouTube . when using headphones, the sound is only coming from the left side.

Thank you for all of these clarifications, as I have had no instruction since my purchase.

Love your video - it was very helpful as I consider this product. Hoping you can help me with a question - I use Lightroom which allows me to send photos to the cloud so I can edit on my IPad Pro. Can I send photos to Topaz as a stand-alone from the cloud or do I need to use a different method to get them into Topaz Photo ai. Thank you for help.

[harrydelange]

Very fine video, good explanation! Your insert left does make a personal touch to it, nice! Thanks!

[TiredTyler]

Thank you for making a tutorial that's super easy to understand for beginners like me.

[johnboor]

Great video. It's been quite helpful in getting up to speed with Photo AI 3. I have a question, though. While I saw you being able to insert specific dimension values for upscaling, I am unable to do it. Might the problem be that I am using Photo AI 3 as a plugin for Photoshop, rather than using it as a stand-alone app? Again, thanks for the terrific video!

[Twobarpsi]

Excellent video! That missed focus on your daughter's eye correction is amazing!

[guiurban]

Awesome !! Parker, thanks for the tips !!!

[MDMiller]

First, this is one of the best videos on an editing product I have seen. I Subscribed and Liked.
Comments: You didn't show how how you masked the tail against the sky.
I'm writing as I go through the video so I don't forget anything.

THANK YOU for this fantastic tutorial! I am currently doing a trial of Photo AI 3 prior to deciding whether to purchase, having already purchased Denoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel back in 2021. I can see all kinds of advantages to the latest version of Topazlabs after watching your careful educational video. So thank you again!

How to resize photo say to an 8” x 10” dpi 300? I am new to this software and would appreciate help.

[keeskraaijeveld]

Nice video. Great!! Q. When I in LR right click on a RAW-file foto to start processing in Topaz Photo AI, it exports it back to LR as a TIF.file. I checked it in "Preferences", and there it says: "Exports as DNG". But that doesn't do it at this way (right click on photo). Do you know how to change that? As I open the RAW-file in LR by using "File>Plug-in extra's>Topaz AI" it works well and its exports back to LR as a DNG.

[janicebutler]

Is Lens blur or motion blur only coming up if it's a raw image ?

[MDMiller]

I thought I heard that you should do the noise, sharpening, and upscaling with all their settings, then save back to LRC and do every thing associated there.
There was something about if you do settings in LRC and open in Photo AI, it doesn't retain the settings from LRC.

[CallumStewart-thfk]

Thanks for this tutorial. Very clear and thorough. I had been using a much lower version of Topaz's photo AI (2) and now have the latest 3.0.4 which is a major step jump. I have tried editing several photos from landscape to flowers but each time I save back to LRc the dng file is much darker and the colours are more saturated (and I did not adjust any of that in Topaz). I did not have that issue with previous versions of Topaz. What am I doing wrong?

[lloydstuartm.d.]

Loved you video! Did you say that the masking option is only available on a MAC? I use Windows so does that mean I can't mask? I wasn't sure after watching your video. Thanks!

[lesrosenstein]

Would you edit in camera raw first or Topaz AI

[frankstark]

Can you batch edit in topaz? I did auto edit for Denoise and sharpen for 86 photos I think at once. It’s been 2 days and my Mac still has the spinning ball. Should I wait a few days or just stop it?

[scdawes]

very detailed tutorial thanks, but I am running version 3.04 of PhotoAI but do not get the same masking options as you show in the video, when I clicke selection it just shows me what it thinks is the subject and hence I cannot apply different degrees of denoise /sharpening to specific parts of my iamges as you show in the video, what am I doing wrong ?

Hi, Would you recommend this app for someone who shoots on an iphone only?
