Topaz Labs is knocking it out of the park this summer with the introduction of two new and powerful tools: A.I. Clear and the stand-alone A.I. Gigapixel. In this webinar, Rad A. Drew will show how he integrates A.I. Clear into his workflow to eliminate noise, and also how A.I. Gigapixel enlarges images, such as smaller iPhone images, for high-quality prints in sizes never dreamed of for mobile phone images.

Rad will review Topaz Remask, the remarkable tool for removing and replacing image backgrounds, show how to import textures into Topaz Texture Effects, and demonstrate the use of A.I. Remix for creating wonderful graphic images. And, if time allows, he’ll include what has become a signature feature of his webinars: his workflow for processing infrared images to create rich black and white photos with a magical, mystical twist.

Rad is a teacher, tour leader, and award-winning photographer whose creative images have been recognized in juried international competitions and exhibited in galleries around the world. His photography workshops in the South of France, Cape Cod, Tuscany, Cuba, and other destinations throughout the USA are great ways to learn while photographing beautiful areas of the world.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

What you’ll need to follow along

 

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

This introductory level walkthrough is really easy to follow along with but you will need just a few things if you’d like to follow along with me:

1. Topaz A. I. Gigapixel. You’ll need A.I. Gigapixel downloaded and installed on your computer if you’d like to follow along during this tutorial. It’s free to download and you can activate a 30-day trial by following the steps here: A.I Gigapixel Help Center Article.

2. Less than 5 minutes. This beginner’s level walkthrough will take less than 5 minutes to complete.

Opening the Application and Logging in

 

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]

Once you’ve downloaded and installed A.I. Gigapixel, you’ll be greeted with a login screen. You just need to log in using your Topaz Studio account, the same account you use to login to the Topaz Website.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][qodef_button size=”” type=”outline” target=”_blank” icon_pack=”” font_weight=”” text=”Topaz Account” link=”https://topazlabs.com/my-account/”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_single_image image=”493649″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1499750369090{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

After you log in you’ll be given a window to start a trial or buy the application, if you’d like to start a trial you can click the trial button to start a free 30-day trial. If you’ve already purchased the application you should go right to the next step.

Updating your Application

 

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]

After you’ve logged in you’ll be greeted with a window to add an image. Navigate to the help option in the application menubar, then click on the check for updates item to update to the latest version.

Once you’ve started updating just follow the onscreen instructions, the application will automatically relaunch once updating is complete.

Validating Your Purchase

 

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]

If you’ve purchased A.I. Gigapixel and would like to update the application to reflect your purchase, it’s easy to do.

  1. Relaunch A.I. Gigapixel after purchasing, and open an image.
  2. ‘Update your Product Ownership’ from the help drop down menu.
  3. You will receive a notification thanking you for your purchase, indicating that you have successfully activated A.I. Gigapixel.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_single_image image=”537511″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”537524″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]

If these steps didn’t work for you, try logging out and back in again with your purchase account. You can do this by going to the “switch users” item in the help menu, then logging back into your account. This should force the application to sync to your account and validate your purchases.
