Topaz Labs released several new fidelity models across their apps. These updates focus on more natural detail, reduced artifacts, and improved consistency across different content types. The models support use cases like portraits, animals, vintage photos, and older videos. Here’s what’s new:

WONDER 2

The most precise detail-restoration model yet. Wonder 2 brings back facial detail and textures without the “AI look” – cleaner results, fewer artifacts, and faster performance.

• Ideal for portraits and subtle restorations
• Available in Bloom, Topaz Photo (cloud), and Topaz Gigapixel (cloud)

RECOVER 3

A versatile enhancement model that works on a wide range of images, including portraits, landscapes, and animal photos. Recover 3 delivers softer, more realistic results with improved detail.

• Works especially well on wildlife and pets
• Available in Topaz Photo (local) and Topaz Gigapixel (local)

PROTEUS NATURAL

A fresh take on our Proteus model for clean, natural video upscaling. It fixes compression issues, halos, and aliased edges while preserving the original look.

• Works alone or alongside another enhancement model
• Available in Topaz Video (local)
