Thanks!
Can I have both plug-ins loaded? or just one?

Canât speak for the others, but I have (first Topaz filter I ever purchased). So, your assumption was based onâŠ???
Nothing regarding Adjust-AI precludes you from using the old Legacy Adjust. You can utilize either or both. Isnât choice wonderful?
Hereâs a testâŠ
Of these two 1-click auto-adjustments, one being Adjust-AI, which would you choose? ie 1 or 2?

I like number 1 because of itâs warm organic light and think 2 has no character and is very cold.
But it all depends how they are edited in the particular version AI or Classic!

jgr00ms2 My assumption was based on nobody saying that had used it. Did I miss someone saying that?
Great, Iâm happy I can use both.
I agree, number 1.
An answer to a question that nobody really asked. As you now know, the presumption was incorrect.
I agree that a picture can be warmed up with just a small shift in color temperature toward yellow.
As a comparison I did the original picture in Aurora HDR (Skylum). It did the adjustment automatically and I slightly moved the Warm temperature slider only. It does very well with multi exposures and RAW photos.
This shows what the AI is doing no intervention from me âStandardâ all color is gone in the background:
Preset in Classic âBrilliant Warmâ no tweaking:
Original RAW image developed in Capture One 20:
Adjust Classic Preset: âBrilliant Warmâ no tweaking looks good to me:
Adjust AI Processed on âStandardâ no tweaking see the background (totally black trees etc.) and colors look terrible
The problem is that the AI part of the app is a joke! Even with an image like this I made the other week it doesnât know how to interpret the background. If the AI part was doing itâs job well you donât have to slide the opacity slider down or tweak anything! And if you need to tweak AI further itâs the worst tweaking I ever encountered. Here the Classic Adjust stands out big time!
I do batch image processing for the websites I make and canât be busy with every single image I make.
I suspect some of the AI Apps are for camera-phone only people.
Those with a bit of nous and learning are still keen on legacy Topaz, particularly Adjust!

Naturally, if you select a preset that is designed to make an image look warm you will get, surprise, a warm image. You can actually do the same thing with Adjust-AI once you make the pre-set correctly. But, Iâm not exactly clear where your complaint lies. If you prefer Legacy Adjust, then use Legacy Adjust. I can quickly get the result I want with Adjust-AI, but typically itâs only one-step toward the goal, not a one-stop-shop. That much I agree with.
PS If what you want is quick auto-adjust hands-off batch-processing, there is another product out there that can do that and is currently free (because itâs development is also frozen). Itâs the one you picked above (number-1). PM me if interested and Iâll tell you the name if you canât guess.
Thank you AllMediaLab for the link. It worked perfectly and I have Adjust 5 back!!

That is not the case with, surprise! Adjust AI!
If I load an image in Adjust AI and choose any preset it looks horrible and when you use the AI Standard
or HDR even worse. This post is not about automatic processing, but the fact that Adjust AI doesnât work proper. The AI doesnât work. Of course you can adjust it by hand, but then the adjustments section in Adjust Classic is superieur compare to AI.
Can you explain me when you look at the 3 images examples I posted for you with the white chicken what the AI (artificial intelligence) is doing on image 3 and why it looks so horrible?
It has nothing do do with me. You can see the images for your self. The result is garbage on image 3.
Why because it doesnât work proper. Even your Balloon image I processed with Adjust AI looks bad.
It proves that the AI doesnât function and I only tested the AI of the app by clicking âstandardâ.
Image three of the chicken has higher color sat and the whites are whiter but I donât understand why you say it looks horrible. I have excellent color vision and it looks pretty good to me. I like images with a bit more punch. I think the idea behind AI is that it will take an image that is not adjusted (such as RAW) and do most of the adjusting for you. The additional adjustments are for user preferences which nothing can adjust for.
I use two EIZO CG279X-BK 27 inch monitors calibrated for images and see all the trees in the background turn almost black. The whole background pops out like crazy I think the 2th and 1th image are more in balance. And much more pleasant to look at. 3th image tires the eye.
