Topaz Studio 2 Update

[grcolts]

As of March 1st, 2021, Topaz Studio 2 has an update. It delivers bug fixes, compatibility with Mac OS Big Sur plus lots more. Seems quicker to me as well?

Thanks for that! I don't use Studio 2 enough to be certain, but it does seem a bit snappeir than before.

(CORRECTERD) Topaz Denoise AI 3.02 has just been launched and it's a free download if 12 month upgrage period (or longer) is still valid.

I made a quick testshot since we have finally one clear night here. At least it does pretty good job at selecting stars from the noise.

Hmm! I don't see it offered on the US website! And the Topaz forums don't mention it

I think you are referring to the new update of Denoise-AI. Topaz Studio is still at version 2.3x.

Be advised that x.0.[1-2] versions are typically a bumpy ride. So, the critical question is whether one can (easily) install a new version while keeping the old one intact. With this specific situation, the question has been asked, but the answer has been murky.

You are absolutely right. Sample is of course from Denoise 3.02 which was just released. Mental note to myself: never try to do anything too late in the evening
