#Topaz adjust ai manual

For example, a few beach scenes needed some positive colour temperature adjustment to overcome the introduced bluish cast. In some cases Auto Adjust AI appeared to produce a colour cast. Some processed images did appear to me to be over saturated after Auto Adjust AI, but I was generally able to resolve that with just the saturation slider in Adjust AI.

The reductions needed varied quite widely. I found some of the images I processed using just Auto Adjust AI were both an improvement over the source image, and quite acceptable without any further changes.Ī further, larger number, were able to be made to suit my taste after using Auto Adjust, by simply reducing the strength where Adjust AI was being used freestanding, or reducing the layer opacity when used as a plug in from Affinity Photo. I personallly am not a fan of HDR images, and pop for my taste has to be quite mild. I should state here that I try to have images reflect what I remember seeing when I took them.

In my tests, I was looking to leave the manual sliders alone, let Auto Adjust AI on its Standard setting adjust the image to it’s “AI taste”, then see whether that came anywhere close to my taste. With Adjust AI, one can still opt to hit the reset button, leave the Auto Adjust AI option OFF, and adjust the sliders manually to adjust to taste, but in this mode it does seem to lack some of benefits of Adjust 5’s “adaptive” controls. Some users might be processing to make the image more like they remember the view when they took the photo, for others it might be to make the image pop or look more HDR.

What I think looks good may not be seen as such by others, and vice versa.

Regardless which of the above methods are used, whether the end result is considered good or otherwise is somewhat subjective, because the image has been adjusted to personal taste. Probably more often than not that preset becomes a starting point, and the sliders are then used to fine tune the result. The second is to run through the presets (someone else’s choice of settings, or settings you have previously found worked on another image) until a preset is found that gives what you are looking for, or at least close to it. The first is to hit the reset button, then manually set the sliders until the image is to personal taste, and not make use of the the presets. In Adjust 5, which to my understanding Adjust AI now replaces, there are as I see it basically two modes of use. I didn’t find processing time to be a problem (Windows 10, 16GB RAM, i7 processor, GTX 1050ti Graphics card with 4GB memory), but your images may have been larger. All were sRGB colour space and all had no previous processing done to them. The images I used were all JPG’s, from four different cameras, a Canon Powershot G2 (2272 x 1704px), a Canon IXUS 110 IS (4000 x 3000px), a Sony SLT-A57 (4912 x 3264), and a Samsung S8 phone (4032 x 3024 px). You, I’ve used Adjust AI on a range of images, and the results have been mixed, some good, some less so.
