Just compare
It is the Auto-Pilot that messed up the photo.
Never trust the autopilot.
In the image above, TPAI’s autopilot enabled denoise automatically and made the image look bad.
If you want to get better quality, you have to
- Wait the Autopilot complete
- Disable Remove Noise by toggle the button,
- Click on the Upscaling to expand it.
- Change the AI model from High Fidelity to Standard
- Adjust the denoise, deblur, compression parameters manually.
TPAI’s autopilot is getting worse & worse and instead of helping, it often increase users workload. TPAI really need to allow user to disable the autopilot completely.

Thanks for your suggestion about the universal off switch for Autopilot. If you want specific workflow advice, the best thing to do is to submit a support ticket at support.topazlabs.com. We’ll be able to use that specific image and help give recommendations for settings.
Autopilot can be useful if it can work properly.
However, often the Autopilot makes completely wrong decisions.
Just like the image posted by OP.
In this scenario, where a bright daylight photo with almost no noise is present, the Autopilot’s decision to enable denoise doesn’t make any sense at all.
The user has to wait for the Autopilot to complete its calculations and manually disable the “Remove Noise”. However, that’s not all. After turning off noise reduction, the Upscale AI model remains set to “High Fidelity,” which is not a suitable choice for a low-resolution, highly compressed image.
Furthermore, the Upscale AI model is hidden by default, requiring the user to click on it to expand the column before they can change the model. Once the model is switched back to “Standard,” the user has to manually adjust all the parameters, becasue there is no “Estimate” button available to prompt TPAI to recalculate the values based on the current AI model.
