I also love this next sharpening feature which will correct images that have Motion Blur. How did I do that? Well, I have a video tutorial showing how to retouch images in Lightroom, and you’ll find the link to that in the description below. Now, real quick, you may have noticed in this image she has a huge piece of dry skin in the middle of her forehead, but it’s gone in this edit. ![]() With Lens Blur, I was able to fix and save the image. For example, in this image of my daughter, I failed to focus on her eye, and it’s blurry, as well as parts of her face. Ok, next is Lens Blur which is awesome for fixing images that are out-of-focus due to missing the correct focus point. And because I used a zoom lens, it added to the overall softness of the image, so since Autopilot didn’t pick up on that, I added some sharpening which vastly improved the photo. The first is Standard, and I’ll usually use this on images that are a tad soft due to using a zoom lens vs a prime lens.įor this image, I again had to use a very high ISO, and I think for this one, it was around thirty-two hundred. ![]() Sharpen has three options for making your images sharper. Ok, if you find that the Noise removal is smoothing out the detail, even at these lower settings, you can try to bring back that detail with this slider. So, you’ll have to play around with these settings to see what works best for your images. However, I tend to find the noise removal to be too aggressive for my taste and will usually stick with Normal and will also lower the strength that Autopilot suggested. Strong, of course, will be more aggressive in removing the Noise.įor this image I shot this at ISO five thousand, and it did a really good job removing all the digital noise. Autopilot will then detect whether the amount of noise is Strong or Normal. So, removing digital noise will eliminate two kinds color and luminance. So, think of AutoPilot as a starting point, and within the Image Quality section, you have four modules where you can change the suggestions that AutoPilot gave you.Ĭlicking on a Module will reveal the different options and sliders to precisely control the intensity of that edit. And under that, it says that an edit to improve the image quality was applied, and in this case, it’s Noise Reduction.įor this portrait, it also detected a subject, and the AI detected that the subject is out of focus, and it enabled the sharpening module to correct blur in the image. The adjustments it suggests will be based on what’s in your image and the quality of the file.įor example, in this photo, AutoPilot says that a subject was detected, and if you hover over the word Subject, it will reveal the Mask of that subject. ![]() So, AutoPiolot will analyze your image immediately after it’s opened or when you select one from the thumbnail previews if you have multiple images open.Īnd it’s going to automagically apply adjustments it thinks will improve your image. Under that is your AutoPilot, and this is the brain of Topaz Photo AI. Ok, so, as you can see, your image fills up most of the Topaz Photo AI interface, and to the right is where all the magic happens.Īt the top is your Navigator which will show the entire image, but when you zoom in, you’ll notice an outline of a rectangle inside, which you can click on and move around to, well, Navigate around your image.
