Topaz Video AI: Stacking Nyx and Iris enhancements

Demo summary

The user shows how to enable multiple enhancements in preferences to stack the Nyx model (for general shapes) with the Iris model (for fine details).

Step-by-step

  1. Go to File
  2. Select Preferences
  3. Navigate to Advanced
  4. Go to Features
  5. Turn the second enhancement on and save
  6. Add the Iris model as the second enhancement
  7. Set Iris to Low Quality and leave settings at Auto

Options

  • Run one filter, save the file, and re-import it to apply a second filter if your hardware cannot handle simultaneous processing
  • Adjust parameters manually to push more sharpening

Watch out for

  • Your computer system must be able to handle multiple enhancements at the same round to use the simultaneous stacking feature

Tips

  • Use the Iris model to find smaller details that other AI models might miss, even on non-face subjects
  • Stack Nyx with Iris to balance general shapes with fine detail recovery

Highlights

that looks pretty darn good
