Lightroom Classic

There are two Topaz Photo AI plugins for Lightroom Classic that are automatically installed:

a RAW plugin, accessed through File > Plug-in Extras > Process with Topaz Photo
an external editor plugin, accessed through Photo > Edit in > Topaz Photo AI

The maximum image size when using the plugins is 512 megapixels (512,000,000 pixels total).

Lightroom CC does not support desktop plugins, Topaz Photo AI will only be used as a plugin in Lightroom Classic.

RAW Plugin

The RAW plugin will provide the best image quality results for your photos. We recommend using unedited RAW files with this plugin.

The output file is saved in the same folder as the original file. Output files are not automatically added to collections.

For some file types, Lightroom will prompt you to Overwrite your selected image or to Edit a Copy, which will create a copy of your original image in Lightroom.

This menu will not appear when working with "proprietary" RAW formats as they cannot be overwritten. A DNG copy will always be created.

External Editor

The external editor plugin appears under the Edit In option within Lightroom Classic:

The following Lightroom menu will appear after invoking the plugin.

For RAW files, you must Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments.
For non-RAW files, you can Edit a Copy without your Lightroom adjustments, or Edit Original to overwrite your selected file.

PSD files are not compatible with the Photo AI Lightroom plugin.

Batch Editing

The RAW plugin and the external editor both support batch processing. Select multiple images in the Library Grid or in the Filmstrip and:

For the RAW plugin, click File > Plug-in Extras > Process with Topaz Photo AI
For the external editor, right-click your images and click Edit In > Topaz Photo AI

Do not use Photo > Edit in > Topaz Photo AI when in the Develop tab. This will only send the currently viewed image to Topaz Photo AI.
