Topaz sells its utilities outright, but you can optionally pay to activate a photo upgrade plan that renews each year. ON1 also sells standalone versions of its Resize AI, NoNoise AI, and Portrait AI utilities. Luminar Neo and ON1 Photo RAW offer subscription pricing or one-time purchase options. Adobe years ago went all-in on subscriptions, and it’s the only way to get any of their products except for Photoshop Elements. It’s noteworthy that companies are starting to offer subscription pricing instead of just single purchases. But if you’re an owner of Photo AI, you’ll probably be less inclined to check out ON1’s offerings. From the looks of the Topaz Photo AI beta, it’s not trying to replace Lightroom any time soon. (Insert any of the apps above in that scenario.) There are different levels to this, though. You may decide to use ON1 Photo RAW instead of other companies’ tools because the features you want are all in one place. (Lightroom desktop, the cloud-focused version, does not have a plug-in architecture.) What does the consolidation of AI photo editing tools mean for photographers?
So, for example, if you primarily use Lightroom Classic but need to sharpen beyond the Detail tool’s capabilities, you can send your image directly to Topaz Sharpen AI and then get the processed version back into your library. It’s also worth noting that because Lightroom Classic has been one of the big players in photo editing for some time, it has the advantage of letting developers, like the ones mentioned so far, offer their tools as plug-ins. Lightroom Classic generated this mask of the fencers (highlighted in red) after a single click of the Select Subject mask tool. That feature is also incorporated into Lightroom’s adaptive presets. The most significant recent AI addition was the revamped Masking tool that detects skies and subjects with a single click.
Jeff Carlson Adobe Lightroom & Lightroom ClassicĪdobe Lightroom and Lightroom Classic are adding AI tools piecemeal, which fits the platform’s status of being one of the original “big photo apps” (RIP Apple Aperture). With the HDR Merge extension installed, Luminar Neo can now blend multiple photos shot at different exposures.
