So don't just buy this to stockpile it. But this is a very good deal.
There are other Topaz deals:
Video Enhance AI: $99.99 (upscales lower-res video)
Everything: DenoiseAI, GigaPixelAI, SharpenAI, VideoEnhanceAI $199.98 (I guess this is the same as buying the Image Quality bundle and VideoEnhance separately)

- Occasionally it does miraculous things.
- Occasionally it makes photos worse (i.e. you need to review the results, just in case).
- Most of the time it does little to nothing.
I feel like the biggest problem with Sharpen AI isn't the tech' it is the workflow. The UI is designed for you to slowly review photos one by one making careful adjustments, which is both time-consuming AND a waste of time (i.e. the auto modes are about as good as it gets 99% of the time). What you really want is for it to process every photo as best it can in a batch, then let you quickly side-by-side them and pick the winning version. Essentially get out of the way and let me take whatever magic is available. As I said above when it does hit, which might only be a single photo a shoot, it can literally turn garbage into a completely usable photo.If you have a limited budget and don't already own DxO PhotoLab get that first, I'd take DeepPrime and ClearView Plus over Sharpen AI any time. DeepPrime and ClearView Plus improve almost every photo they touch, whereas Sharpen AI is a niche tool that occasionally works magic. Plus of course PhotoLab does far more than only those two enhancements, it is a complete Lightroom upgrade.
Sharpen AI typically does a fine job.
