Earlier this week, I detailed in an article how well DeNoise AI combats noise while retaining details. Next, I want to work inside DeNoise AI to deal with the problematic heat distortion. Final masking tweaks and ready to save out to Photoshop. Automatic subject detection masking in Sharpen AI. Now I press Apply which saves the changes to my active layer in Photoshop. Using a low-opacity brush, I made a couple of tweaks to the mask to control how much sharpening was being applied to different spots around the cat all sharpening focused on the head with less at the rear end. Simple enough, I can click into the “Select” panel where it automatically masked the bobcat for me almost perfectly. It’s confusing the program as to whether to not it should be enhancing those edges, and in this case, I do not.
However, because of the heat haze I mentioned, the out-of-focus areas in the image have some unpleasantly hard-edged bokeh mixed around there. Since this has a little bit of motion blur, “Motion Blur – Normal” seemed to work best on the bobcat’s face which is the most important part of the image. First is selecting which Sharpen Model to use. Looking at the side panel, I just go in order of the settings as shown and refine them to taste. Inside Sharpen AI, the interface is very straightforward. Between heat haze and some slight motion blur, I know there’s some more detail that can be squeezed out in Sharpen AI. This was a completely unexpected sighting taken from a car on the road, and the cat had been already walking down this path by the time I saw it. The first issue I want to tackle with the image is the soft focus on the animal. It’s these kinds of special, personal one-of-a-kind photos that make Topaz Labs products worth every penny because no matter what I walked away with in the field I can fix many issues that may pop up under closer examination. For me, the image of the bobcat I’ll be editing below is exciting as not only was it the first I’d photographed, but the first one I’ve seen in the wild. In this article sponsored by Topaz Labs, I want to showcase how I used all three of these applications to enhance one of my wildlife photos. Additionally, Video Enhance AI is available for $99.99, a 67% savings from the regular price of $299.99.

If you’re into video work, you can get their “Everything Bundle,” which includes these three photo apps and Video Enhance AI for just $199.98 (normally $559.96). But now through Monday, November 29, the company has an even bigger Black Friday discount on the software: the Image Quality bundle can be picked up for $99.99, which is a 60% savings off its regular retail price.
