Hi All,
I have been using Topaz Video and Photo ai for a year now and very much a amateur. I am not using any other software to assist me in editing. For family photos, I notice that I can get a very clean looking face but that is not always where I want the focus to be, the background or clothes can be noisy. I generally use upscale and find that denoise does not clean up the scene as well. I dont know the right word but the scene can become more noisy w/ a.i artifacts. Is there a better model to clean up the scene and not just the face.
Most photos are using a modern smart phone, the lighting is not always ok and some are older that I am trying to clean up. Thank you!!!

@paxdeprofundis Thanks for sharing this! @AND-E has some great points and links.

Thanks all, thats a lot of great info, I will take a look and try to step up my game.
To answer your questions:
- CPU i7-10700F 2.9ghz
- 4070 ti
- 32gb ram
The photos are mainly from my phone (moto G 2022). I get that the lighting is not always great, I am not a photographer and there will be some noise. I am baffled why Topaz can clean up the face so well but leave the objects noisy. Often I want the focus on scene and not so much the face (advertising). Dont get me wrong, I love Topaz, its helped me a lot when creating ads or showcasing what we do. Its a great help for a non photographer!
Edit: I am taking pics of people often moving, occasionally posing, mostly indoors. We are not using lighting to create a scene, its spontaneous either documenting something amazing or showcasing what people are doing in the space. I run a small business working w/ Autistic adults.
Thanks for your help!
