They’re a snap to use, and the results are far and away better than what you can get with standard photo software like Lightroom, Photoshop, or Capture One. If you don’t always shoot in perfect lighting situations but still want your digital photos looking clean and clear, you owe it to yourself you get one of these automatic AI-powered denoisers. What’s Your Best Tool Against Photo Noise? It’s not that much more inconvenient than DxO, which helpfully creates a subfolder in the same folder as the original with DNG raw files of the improved image. The TIFF image appears updated in Lightroom after you process it with Topaz DeNoise AI.

With Topaz DeNoise AI, you have to open the separate app after its plug-in creates a TIFF copy of the image you’re working on. PureRAW also works as an extension to Windows File Explorer or macOS Finder, something Topaz DeNoise AI doesn’t offer. By contrast, DxO PureRAW integrates more conveniently with the Lightroom Classic catalog database- you can use its plug-in right inside Lightroom. Topaz DeNoise AI works with Adobe Lightroom Classic and Adobe Photoshop as a standard external-editing plug-in. Topaz DeNoise AI offers a masking brush for selective local denoising. You can get a free trial version that has no time limit, but files you save with it will be watermarked across the middle, so as not to be usable. You can get Topaz DeNoise AI directly as a download from its maker’s website for $79.99, though that list price is occasionally discounted. Both are excellent products, and your choice depends on the type of photos you have and how much control you want over the process. Though I was less than thrilled with Topaz's all-around photo software Topaz Studio, the company’s noise reducer is at least as good as DxO’s, and in some ways even better. Topaz DeNoise is far more effective at removing noise artifacts than Lightroom, Photoshop, and other general photo-editing software, which require you to fiddle with sliders and don’t produce as good results on high-ISO digital photos. It gives you more control over its operation than its closest competitor, DxO PureRAW, which is also excellent at what it does. Topaz DeNoise AI excels at one specific job: clearing out digital noise from your photos.
