Using Sharpen AI in PS

Question

Now that Adobe has added both Denoise and Sharpen AI what is the suggested way to use that? Not any separate Topaz apps that are purchased. The two that are in the filters that are partnered with Topaz that require premium credits.

I don’t need information on Denoise AI because I have access to Adobe Denoise AI, I just need information on Sharpen AI. There is no trial period and there are no settings to choose from. It just runs and I don’t want to waste credits on testing from the start.

I have been all over the internet and youtube and all information is for the plug-in apps. I’d like to know if I should do all of my sharpening first and then run it. Or should I just leave sharpening at the default settings, run it and fine tune later. Or should I turn Sharpening completely off, run it and then fine tune.

As my usual workflow with other 3rd party I plan to use at the very end.

Thank you

How and when to use the AI version of Sharpen is highly dependent on the type of image you’e editing. For example, if you like to retouch scans of old photographs (something for which I have found the new AI to be amazing at), you’d want to use it at the beginning of your edit, so you know what you need to adjust. If you’re shooting say… portraits, and you want to sharpen specifically for your output method, that’s a thing you may want to save until the end.

Perhaps if you give us some more information, and maybe some screenshots, we can provide a response more appropriate to your needs, methods, and workflow?
