New Topaz Denoise AI released: Here is how it beats the tools from Lightroom, Capture One and DxO

TopazLabs announced the new DeNoise AI software. And you pay $50 only if you use the checkout code “BATCH15“. If you click on the image on top and scroll down on their website you can see how their Denoise AI software works on Lightroom, Capture One and DxO.

The new version has two new features:

  • New batch processing capabilities
  • New Chroma Noise Reduction slider

Chroma noise is easily recognized as those pesky color specks appearing across your photo. The Chroma slider allows you to target and remove this specific type of noise.

In general DeNoise AI examines the whole image and holistically determines the difference between detail and noise in that photo. (Other NR tools only look at pixel-level detail.) After understanding what noise vs. detail looks like for that specific image, DeNoise AI recovers a surprising amount of detail from noise.

Here is the official intro video:

You can also download the trial only:

Don’t forget to use the checkout code “BATCH15” when buying Denoise AI (click here).

Marc Galer: 2020 – Sony Alpha Imaging Developments – Where to from here?

Marc Galer:

What does the future have in store for Sony Alpha photographers? 2020 marks an important point in Sony’s imaging technology development. Sony has been at the forefront of imaging innovation in the interchangeable lens camera market since 2010 (with this introduction of their SLT and Mirrorless cameras). The camera releases in 2020 will, however, send a strong signal to the industry as to whether they intend to continue to release revolutionary new products or slowly evolve /fine-tune exisiting technologies. In this speculative discussion Mark looks at possible new cameras Sony camera will release in 2020.
The launch of the A7IV (A7M4) and their next APS-C camera will be the cameras that tell us if Sony intend to tread water for a while or continue to shake the imaging market with revolutionary new products.

The wide magnification range is essential for shooting insects and plants at different sizes.
