I think Topaz want users to adopt Topaz Bloom for artistic image upscaling. This service operates exclusively on Topaz’s cloud servers and requires a monthly subscription. The Standard plan, priced at $15/month, supports a maximum export size of 16MP and is limited to non-commercial use. For larger export sizes and commercial use, the Premium plan is available at $50/month.
The Recover and Redefine models often oversharpen subjects, transforming fine hair into wiry strands, adding white outlines to high-contrast edges, and creating a scale-like texture on human skin, among other flaws. In contrast, the new Topaz Bloom model produces images free of these issues, delivering smoother and more natural results.
