For that mode of use, it would be useful to have available a masking operation to give more flexibility in blending the adjusted image with the original. The question is why not include such a good capability within TS itself as a filter?īut if that is not done then I would probably prefer to use it much the way I just outlined - as a final touch on a large batch of images. This morning I decided to take the final outcome from this process and run them through Topaz Adjust AI as a test and I was pretty impressed with the results but I have a question and an additional suggestion. Occasionally I use plugins from TS when that seems appropriate but I do tend to resort to this only in exceptional cases.Īs a consequence, I’d not yet used AI Adjust much. I tend to process a fairly large number of images at one time, starting with basic editing and a review in Lightroom to select images to be processed, followed by editing (mostly in Topaz Studio). If I had to stand there and do the step by hand, I could be there for hours just to accomplish that task.
While I am sleeping (or having lunch, or making coffee), it will work its way through, say, 300 images. My goal is to set Photoshop to open every file in a directory, one at a time, and to carry out the steps in my action on that file, including making changes using Topaz Adjust AI, and then save the file. This is fine if you are just doing one file. And, even if I could do it quickly, I don’t want to have to babysit the action as it runs. Even though I am on a pretty fast machine, it takes a while for Topaz Adjust AI to even allow me to select the option I want. This works fine, but it means I need to take the action to set the preset.
After you record the action, you can click on the box to the left to set it to pause. If all you are doing is calling TAI in a script then you might as well just open it manually but I assume you have other functions as well.
You could use the pause and then be able to adjust the results manually in Topaz AI, after which, you continue. I remember there was a way to pause after a step. I use to use Photoshop and did a lot of actions (macro scripts).
As it stands now, I don’t know of a way to do this. If this existed in Topaz AI, at least the program could be used with a PS action. Once and expected behavior can be created, an action can also be used to batch process images, a huge benefit for those who need to process hundreds or thousands of images at once, such as wedding photographers, event photographers, sports photographers, etc.Īt a minimum, I hope you can add in the basic feature of returning to the last accessed preset, as exists in Topaz Adjust and Topaz Studio. This would help the general user who prefers the same starting point each time they use the program and it would be especially helpful for the user who wants to program an action in Photoshop. I am wondering why it does not open with the previously used settings when you open a new image the way Topaz Adjust and Topaz Studio do.įurther, I would like to be able to create a preset and define it as the default so that it gets selected automatically when I open the program. Just got Topaz Adjust AI and it seems like a fantastic addition!
