My download and install of recent Gigapixel update did not remove the previous version. The processing time on DeNOise is about 2x the speed of those for PhotoAI once selections have been made and vastly quicker when choosing settings for each image/batch of images. Topaz DeNoise AI is on sale now - save 25 through April 15. This simply reflects my continued distrust of ACR/LRC's raw conversion of these files. When shooting with a Nikon Z9 Lossless RAW I already run all images I want to work on through DxO Pure RAW 3 (XD processes) to generate a linear DNG file and still consider there is an improvement to be gained by running the finished files through Topaz AI. Whereas one simply cannot make batch adjustments with Photo AI - one has to apply setting changes to each image - after the AI engine has done its thing - and even then I find the result less pleasing to images from DeNoise AI. I find that DeNoise AI works out a reasonable setting for DeNoise but also tends to over sharpen - but I can simply change one slider (typically reducing this to 15 of lower) and go ahead and process a whole batch (or sequence of shots) with confidence. I no longer use Photo AI and am back to polishing my output with DeNoise AI - where I can make simple light adjustments to batches of images without worry. Overtime as Photo AI was improved I drifted into using Photo AI more and more frequently - but NO LONGER, not since update 1.3.0 - now I find wildlife images (specifically big cars and other furry animals) processed with it are vastly over sharpened and see that user choices have been reduced. I use Topaz AI products on almost all my output files - I "bought-into" Photo AI when it was free and was initially fairly happy with it, but continued to use DeNoise AI as my prefered tool for polishing my output files (for screen).
