I want to thank you for this video. I am. very impressed with DxO PureRaw. I also have been having problems with Topaz Photo AI. The app often becomes un responsive when I try to export a file to PS on my Mac. I tested DxO PureRAW on Canon, Leica, Ricoh and Fuji and each time I was impressed. The app is also reasonably quick. I am going to buy it due to your video.

Thanks, Anthony for this video. I look forward to seeing your next video addressing portraits using Photo AI. For some reason, my portraits lose sharpening in the eyes / pupils. I have to select mask and then subtract from the mask. I'm not sure if you've noticed this on your end.

Very well explained and really helpful tips! Thank you.

Well I use the purchased version, I have already paid once, happy to buy add-ons, but to Rent what is basically 95% the same tool - this is plain Blackmail - Adobe are nasty.

Adobe seem to have gone as far as they can with Lightroom for now. They are no doubt waiting to see what new features Capture One will come out with ?

I seldom use Photo AI now.

A calm, thorough voice of reason. I went through several "ya ya" videos made by kids and foreigners before I found this. I should have gone straight to Anthony Morganti dot CAAM

what’s up man quick question, with the panning from left to right is there a way to increase the speed of the movement? I’m able to do motion with the keyframe’s but im wondering if there’s a way to increase the speed of the movement

When I downloaded the latest version of Photoshop Beta (25.9) Generative Fill stopped working. Every time I tried to convert a picture to an Oil Painting or a Water Color, the three choices generated were blue swatches. I replaced that version with 25.8 and it is now working. Have others had the same problem?

Anthony, this isn’t about wildlife, but I’ve been trying to use onto photo ai for my recent eclipse photos but when I bring it from LR Classic, it automatically darkens the photo A LOT. If I do the noise reduction and/or sharpening and go back to LR, photo still very dark and I can’t get it back to original brightness no matter how much I play with exposure, highlights etc. Any ideas? Thanks.

I am less and less impressed by Photo AI compared with Denoise and Sharpen. Somebody seems to be losing the plot in trying unecessarily to move on from real winners.

I find this rather long winded, and with one or two exceptions I dislike using using plugins with Lightroom. I prefer to process and export my images with Lightroom and then apply denoise. I can then batch process my photos in one go. Much easier.

Topaz has no sense

Thanks Anthony, this will help. Topaz Labs changes of late to Photo AI have been disappointing. The interface makes you hunt for options to do anything other than AutoPilot, the add/subtract brush is sticky and oh so slow. For me their product has fallen to a 5/10 simply for its usability.

Hi Anthony - Thanks! My usual workflow is that I do my editing in LRC first, than move the image over to Photo AI as a TIFF file. As of late, Photo AI running on autopilot, 7-8 times out of 10, Photo AI does not select Denoise, but only Sharpen, although there is a considerable amount of noise! How comes? Consequently, I have to manually select Denoise! I reached out to Topaz and have yet to hear back from them. Viewing your video just now, I just followed your workflow, i.e. open a NEF RAW in Photo AI, some cropping, upscaled, saved as a DNG. Then I imported that DNG into LRC, in order to do some editing as usual. To my surprise, if I want to apply lens correction (as usual) that is not possible. It did incorporate however, changes under structure and details. is that how it supposed to be, or? Yes, using Topaz has become cumbersome. Thanks again.

What a big step backwards Photo AI has made! Version 3.xx is unusable, not only because of the crazy new user interface.

Excellent thank you for the walk through and your thoughts 🙂

I find Topaz sharpening almost always does "too much" and looks unnatural. I usually cut the auto-pilot setting in half or so. Also, not a fan of upscaling as long as the image meets typical online size standards (2048 long edge for example). The decision not to support raw/DNG from LR is a mystery and unfortunate!

More of a lowdate than an update.

Sometimes when I'm doing wildlife photography, the wildlife are just not there. So I have to use AI to add them into my images. Would Topaz help with that?

This is exactly the kind of video that I needed to see. I've had Luminar AI since it was introduced, but have found the wide range of options impossible to get my head wrapped around. I finally feel like I could actually use this to process my images. Thank you!

I hate that they now put labels & processing status bars overlaid on my images - blocking content. The new UI settings panels are also too segregated and divided and requires too much clicking around. The old UI with its ease of moving between visible settings categories was better to work with; PAI is no longer efficient.

Thanks for the video. Topaz made something simple more complicated. Although not as good LrC is now more appealing and finish off in Topaz Denoise. Definitely impacts on my M1 PRO’s performance. With this and other Ai updates in editing software it is making a Windows PC more attractive because of the ability to upgrade hardware. What RAM and specs generally should my next Mac choice be?

You shouldn't have to work around like this. Topaz needs to keep it simple. Life is too short.

What is the downside of opening an image into Photoshop from Lightroom and using Topaz as a filter on a layer and (after other edits) then saving it back to LightRoom?

The issue with the output being a TIFF versus a DNG was caused by TOPAZ deciding to add "color/lighting processing" for RAW files. For some reason with these features enabled the output cannot be a DNG. At this time these features cannot be disabled. This is supposed to be fixed in V3.0.2. I am at the last V2.x.x and waiting for this to be fixed.

An American Goldfinch, gorgeous! I took a shot/photo of one just the other day so thanks for this video Anthony!

Have you noticed that the select brush used in the sharpen tool is now very slow? It seems this started in version 2.4..x.

This process seems to encourage one to use Adobe Bridge (perhaps), Lightroom, and Photoshop. Interesting! No need for Lightroom Classic unless you just want to import the final product at the end.

The biggest drawback for me, is that they still haven’t made an iPad version (yes, they are adequately powerful). I really, really would like to do it all on my iPad, I wish I didn’t have to interupt mye workflow by going to my Mac to DeNoise.

3 / 46 cherries and you're a winner!

i suppose it is not cheating, but it is drawing not photography. but still part of the 'It's OK to LIe' culture

Hi Anthony, this was very helpful. I like this set of videos you are doing. When you do the mobile Lightroom can you also talk about syncing the mobile images to the LRC. I do that a lot and would love to see any tips on how to improve my process. Thank you for all your videos.

At 8:14 you say go to photo but you should have said file. The plugin menus are in file not photo.

How about when you are outdoors in sunlight - any tips to reduce this effect while taking the picture? Any filters that would help?

The software is now too complicated. This may be my last year with it. I’m happy with LR Classic denoise.

In 3.0.1 I cannot I export to PS. The software just doesn’t work.

This cool, I noticed that when I import my image and go into the basic panel ,Light room will have my camera profile Adobe Color .I have my profile on EOS R as Neutral LR offers Neutral V2 Could I change that to Neutral V2 on import as you described?

Thanks for the very good video. I think the implementation of the filters in Photo Raw is much worse than in any other photo software I use. Not in terms of functionality, but in terms of handling. I could not use it at all before I saw your video - and I checked out 3 others videos before. In any other software you can easily create a mask and than apply the desired changes exactely to that area. The mask can be switched on and of. Everything straight forward. I never needed help to use it. But in case of Photo Raw, if I do not use the softwae for 3 month, I first need to see you video again. The only thing I miss in your video - especially because I'm using Photo Raw for denoise only - is the explanation how I could apply the AI denoise to a part of the picture. But I think that can be done with layers only.

Anthony again thanks I very much enjoy and pick up subtleties that I didn’t know

Anthony, why would I want to use this version of Lightroom if I already use Lightroom Classic?

On my Windows 11 PC, the text options were "Automatic (default)", then 100,150,200,250,300,400. Automatic set it to 100%. You have to be careful at 400% because the screen is so large I couldn't get to the the Done button after setting it back. Finally I just hit the enter key in hopes it defaulted to "Done" and it did.

Great job (as usual!) Anthony. As a newcomer to Neo, I greatly appreciate your time and expertise in helping us get the "hang" of using this software. So far, quite impressed... Do you, by chance, have a general workflow for editing photos in Neo? For example, is it best to do local changes first, then global changes and THEN use any AI-assisted stuff? Once you've decided to edit a photo, what's your workflow? (And yes, I know it may vary from photo to photo, but just in general terms). At least that way, I've got an idea that if I do something later, it's not going to mess up any changes I might have made previously... Cheers!

Windows 100% to 400% 50 increment. On my computer, 150% was the default.

This no longer works on v13.2. Is there another way?

Great video AM. I've had Lumina Neo for a few months. It does a lot really well but I think for me this is best suited as a plugin for LR and PS

Interesting that the auto setting on whites and blacks sets values quite a lot different from your method with the Alt/Option key.

In win u have 4or5 options in procentiges starting whit 80%
