Several companies have developed modern editing software based on artificial intelligence models. One of the best known is Topaz, operational since 2018, with its Photo AI software (price around \u20ac200) and its sharpen module (sharpen) around \u20ac80.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Upscale<\/strong> Enlarge images up to 600% while preserving image quality.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Remove noise.<\/strong>  Eliminate loud noise while recovering sharp details.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sharpen.<\/strong>  Recover lost focus, poor lens sharpness and motion blur for sharper images.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/g3-guides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AI-Capra-Ibex-in-Andalusia1-800x441.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40679 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/g3-guides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AI-Capra-Ibex-in-Andalusia1-800x441.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g3-guides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AI-Capra-Ibex-in-Andalusia1-800x441.jpg 800w, https:\/\/g3-guides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AI-Capra-Ibex-in-Andalusia1-380x209.jpg 380w, https:\/\/g3-guides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AI-Capra-Ibex-in-Andalusia1.jpg 957w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Even images taken at close range are improved&#8230;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most serious photographers include this type of technique in their workflow.
