Topaz Labs, the creators of a range of AI powered photography utilities have announced an update to the Topaz DeNoise AI package. Version 2.4 brings the following additions / changes / updates:

• Updated Low Light models to newest versions

• Updated Photoshop plugins– Should now save/load all the settings properly

• Added support for new image file types– New RAW formats: ARI, CR3– New non-RAW formats: BMP, HEIC, PPM, PGM, PBM, PNM, TGA, and WEBP

• Added estimated time remaining when saving files

• Added In-App rating system– If you experience any issues with output in the program, feel free to send feedback by clicking on the faces at the bottom right of the preview

• Added ability to load non-ASCII file names from Lightroom– For instance, Japanese/Chinese/Korean, etc file names should work now

• Added an error message when models fail to run instead of just returning a non-updated preview

• Added an info hover on the brightness toggle to better explain cases where it doesn’t work

• Changed Windows installer so it’s admin only– Should resolve various issues non-admin users have had in the past– May require full uninstall/reinstall if you had it installed as non-admin before

• Changed Photoshop plugin mode to have an entry in the file list view– This allows us to better show masking rather than having the brush at the top

• Changed OpenGL settings internally– Hopefully this should help with black preview issues and puts this program in line with what Gigapixel and Mask do

• Changed sliders to allow text input for values

• Fixed various color/loading issues for RAW files

• Fixed issue where DNG files saved and re-opened in our apps would be magenta

• Fixed post-processing not running in certain cases

• Fixed preview scale so it adjusts to your screen display scale properly– Images may look smaller than before if you have a display scale over 100%

• Fixed crash when running auto on images with specific file sizes

• Fixed crash on Mac related to file logger
