After publishing " What No Fan Has Seen Before (Opens in a new window)," I decided to turn my attention to the upscaler side of the equation.

Up until September, virtually all my focus had been on improving the quality of my video pre-processing steps. But I need to make certain it's clear what you are getting into. I have recommended this product both indirectly and directly, and I'm going to continue to do so. Over the past 10 months, as I've worked on upscaling Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Voyager, I've relied on one piece of software above all others to perform the work: Topaz Video Enhance AI (Opens in a new window) ($199.99, for Windows and Mac). Model quality and capability are still changing significantly from version to version.

Note: This is not a full-fledged formal review and comparison of Topaz Video Enhance AI against other in-market applications, but a discussion of one particular application's strengths and weaknesses.
