Topaz Labs released a new version of Sharpen AI 2.1.0 with new auto-detect subjects for masking and more

By [NR] admin | Published: July 23, 2020


Topaz Labs released an updated version 2.1.0 to Sharpen AI. This major update includes a new auto-detect masking tool to generate base masks. It can detect 20 different types of subjects, including people, cars, planes, and various animals. The new “auto-detect mode” capability allows Sharpen AI to select the best processing mode (from the Focus, Stabilize, and Sharpen modes). This update is free to existing Sharpen AI owners (available for both Windows and Mac) and allows users to take full advantage of Sharpen AI’s technology by requiring less user input:

“Sharpen AI takes some of the tedious work out of post-processing. With the new “Find Objects” feature in the masking tool, Sharpen AI will automatically detect the subjects in your image for sharpening. It can detect 20 different types of subjects including people, cars, planes, various animals, and more. This feature can be accessed by clicking the “Mask” button to the right in the file list, and then clicking “Find Objects” in the left corner.”

Topaz Labs also launched a new Sharpen AI sale: $59.99 (regularly $79.99). This offer will expire on August 7.

The Utility Bundle, which includes JPEG to RAW AI, DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI, and Gigapixel AI, is also discounted to $195.99 (regularly $249.99).

The new Topaz Labs Video Enhance AI software is also still available for $199.99 ($100 off).

You can use coupon code RUMORS15 for an additional 15% off.
