    Topaz launches Wonder 4 image repair and upscaling model

    Topaz introduced Wonder 4 for Web and Mobile on November 3. Its new model combines upscaling, denoising, deblurring, artifact removal and face recovery in one pass. Topaz’s quality claims are vendor claims; the release does not say Wonder 4 is in its desktop photo app.

    Topaz releases Image HDR for brighter HDR JPEG photos

    Topaz’s November update adds Image HDR on Web and Mobile, converting standard photos into HDR JPEGs while preserving the original. Viewers need an HDR-capable display to see the effect; this is a separate image model from Wonder 4.
