Artifacts during denoising and sharpeningcompared to Adobe LR

If I denoise and sharpening a picture in Topaz Photo AI the quality is not always good enough may I say so compared to Adobe LR.

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. I transfer my pics from e.g. Lightroom to Photo AI and then the Autoprocess will start.
  2. the Autoprocess make a denoise and a sharpening (I reduce the sharpening value a lot
  3. but the qualitiy could be better a great pity if Photo AI will stay much behind Adobe Denoise.

Honestly I want to continue and stick with Photo AI, I just hope they can catch up. The Canon R5 MKII is still not supported.

Maybe Abobe has a big advantage with his AI and database behind, but Topaz can fix it in the future. all the best

at the pictures: on the left side is Adobe LR denoise, on the right side is Photo AI Denoise (see on the Characters and rond the black line)

Hello,

Photo AI 3.3_Auto-Mode without Sharpen.jpg → this image with automatic adjustment in PhotoAI without Sharpening
Photo AI 3.3_Auto-Mode with_ Sharpen.jpg → this image with automatic adjustment in PhotoAI with Sharpening
Photo AI 3.3_Auto-Mode with_ Sharpen_modified.jpg → this image with automatic adjustment in PhotoAI with Sharpen modified
Adobe_Lightroom_Denoise_value50_standard.jpg → this image with noise reduction (Denoise) in Adobe LR

Please look at the signs on the lens, e.g. you can not read STABILIZER after Denoise in PhotoAI. In LR is it much better yet. I think the big impact is the denoise process… honestly the sharpening process could be better too. There is also are artifacts → please make a trey with the original picture and look at the line in the face from the hut.

PS: I have the latest version PhotoAI 3.3.0
