A few months ago I heard about this new program from Topaz Labs called Sharpen AI, which is supposed to use machine based learning to sharpen photos better than anything else.
It handles Sharpening, Motion blur, and focus blur. I decided to try the 30 day trial and I have to admit I'm impressed with the results.
Below is a comparison the original Light room version and the Sharpen AI version done with Stabilize (motion) and Focus blurs removed.
I noticed the color difference between the two versions. I'm still figuring out the best workflow for this, as it has to be exported from LR/PS to work, so I might do this step first and save to TIFF then continue processing.
I'm only sorry I missed the introductory price. but for $80.00 it does a hell of a job.
Is anyone else here using it? WHat have you found as the best workflow?
