About
Sharpen AI was Topaz Labs' standalone sharpening application, using trained AI models to correct motion blur, focus issues, and general softness. Photographers used it to rescue slightly missed shots, with separate models for stabilizing motion blur, sharpening out-of-focus areas, and general softness.
Like DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI was discontinued as a standalone product and its sharpening models were folded into Topaz Photo AI. Topaz kept it in maintenance for existing owners for a time, but all new sharpening development now happens inside Photo AI.
