Version 2.4.2 working great now.
Absolutely agree. V3 has (slightly) better usability and is faster, but in terms of IQ imho is a big step back.
Clear AI mode delivers better results than Denoise for almost any image I process, so what is the purpose of Denoise mode?
Denoise v2 was great at sharpening. v3 is not. Now I need to run Sharpen AI in addition, or use Clear AI mode.
Denoise v2 was also great at blurring backgrounds when running at high noise removal levels of 70-100. I used this to blend different edits in Denoise/Sharpen to produce an image with crisp subject and super creamy backdrop. v3 doesn’t have this ability anymore.
I’d wish Topaz would combine the great IQ of v2 with usabily of V3 as a new basis to add future features.
DxO delivers really appealing results. They can’t compete with Sharpen motion blur results, but at this point clearly outperform Denoise.

I cannot comment on Denoise, but LowLight 3.0.2 delivers much better results imho than LowLight 2.4.2/3.0.3. As long as there is not too much colour noise, I even prefer its results to DxO’s.
For me the biggest concern is that 3.0.2. / 3.0.3. crashes randomly on my M1 Pro 8Gb when processing more images. Sometimes it just quits after 5 images, sometimes after 10 or so.
Raise a support request at the main website and include the logs. Logs can be found via the Help menu in DeNoise.
I’m having the same issue on MacOS Catalina, Intel i7 . 3.0.3 is very unstable compared to previous V2 releases.
I have downloaded trial version and application is failing to launch it looks like it was trying to open then fails to open application. I have Windows 10 operating system on my PC I have updated pc still not functioning. Any ideas ? Thanks
3.0.3 Always gives me this erroron DeNoise AI

Also all of your softwares goes Under the TaskBar if Taskbar is on Top of the Screen.
This happens when window takes 90% of desktop space
What GPU do you have and are the drivers the latest from the manufacturers website, i.e. Intel, AMD, NVIDIA not Windows Update or the PC manufacturer.
I repeat a post from March 30th (“jamie.lenh”):
“I can no longer scroll my mouse to adjust ‘Remove Noise’ and ‘Enhance Sharpness’. Instead, I have to drag my pointer to adjust them.”
It is actually a step backwards that you can no longer adjust the values in the control panel with the mouse wheel. Is there a solution in sight?
The problem is that this function forces an update of the preview when the mouse wheel is stopped, which leads to problems with many weak systems.
I use DeNoise AI as a Photoshop Plugin with ACDSee. The workflow with 3.0.3 is too expensive, but I am happy with 2.4.2.
Updated to v3.1.1 and so far much more stable than v3.0.3. No delay when adding images in batch, and so far no crashes with MacOS Catalina, Intel i7.
Whatever you did devs, good work! Can you also do the same to GAI and Sharpen.
I have been running Deep Prime on some images that I had already processed in DeNoise. The former does better on images that have a large amount of colour noise especially on blacks. But some images can also look over-processed/over-saturated. There are no sliders to adjust the result, so I found I was having to do some post-processing back in On1 Photo Raw.
In Photolab, you can use the Color Accentuation sliders to adjust the saturation & vibrancy.
You can also change the Color Rendering setting, from Generic Rendering to your prefer camera body, which will give much better & nature result.
I use DeepPRIME for all my high ISO RAW file, however it don’t work with JPG, so I still need DeNoise AI for JPG.
At the moment, I am looking forward to see how the coming “ON1 NoNoise AI 2021” compare to DeepPRIME & DeNoise AI. 
I am using DxO Pure Raw only (on trial), not PhotoLab. If I send a file from On1, I can only send it as the original raw or as a TIF copy.If the original image is underexposed, the result look horrible when it’s back in On1 with exposure adjusted accordingly.

I would be very interested in the results.
Something you can look at.
ah, ok
that looks like a different level, of course.
I have also tried it with Deep Prime.
But the combination of Capture One and Denoise AI cannot replace anything in my case.
If you are interested in what this looks like you can send me your picture.
I have done some further comparisons. DxO Pure Raw is much better on colour noise, but it cannot handle skies that are bleached in the original Raw file
:
Never mind the rest of the shot. In each case I pulled down exposure back in On1 Photo Raw. The DxO image is in the centre and there is no cloud detail whatsoever.
