Once you are done with the settings, you can click on this button to see the final result. Once you disable the automatic preview update, then a Blue color button becomes visible above, “Update Preview”. They have given this option because every time you change the settings, then the software consumes lots of CPU for showing the preview. There is an option to Enable/Disable the “Automatically Update Preview”. All these three processing modes come with the same 3 slider options: “Remove Blur”, “Suppress Noise” and “Add Grain” options.ĥ. If the subject of interest is not focused, then it will look soft.

Please note that legacy programs that have been previously discontinued may not function with Big Sur and updates for M1/Apple Silicon processors may take several months. The newest versions of Mask AI, DeNoise AI, Gigapixel AI, and Sharpen AI all support Big Sur with Intel processors. We are working on the next steps for those programs. If you have updated to macOS 10.16/11 Big Sur, please note that Adjust AI, Jpeg to RAW AI, and Studio 2 have not yet been updated to facilitate Big Sur yet. I have not tried "Topaz", but if you already upgraded to Big Sur, some of the applications are not yet ready. Some application may need to be called by scrolling down to "Other" in the "Edit with" menu. You can call any external editor from the menu item "Image > Edit with > Other", if your version of Photos already has this menu item. What is your system version? Are you still using macOS 10.13 as shown below your question?
