    Topaz JPEG to RAW 2.2.0 (OSX)

    JPEG to RAW AI is highly effective at removing compression artifacts and recovering color detail. Use machine learning to convert JPEG to high-quality RAW for better editing. Prevent banding, remove compression artifacts, recover detail, and enhance dynamic range.

    Edit JPEG as if you shot it in RAW

    Fix artifacts, restore dynamic range, and recover detail

    Dynamic range
    Your image loses significant dynamic range when it’s converted to JPEG. JPEG to RAW AI helps you recover a portion of this lost dynamic range by bringing back lost shadow and highlight details. While you won’t be able to recover completely missing details, it can work with even very small amounts of information. This allows you to be more aggressive with editing your photo’s exposure or contrast. If you ever think that you’ve blown out a sky and you don’t have the original RAW file, try running it through JPEG to RAW AI first.

    Color space
    Color space represets the range of color that is supported in your image. JPEG images are usually in the sRGB color space, which works great for web but less for printing and editing. When editing a photo in sRGB, adjusting saturation or vibrance will often reveal ugly color blotchiness. You can prevent this from happening by running it through JPEG to RAW AI. JPEG to RAW’s machine learning models expand the sRGB colorspace to ProPhoto RGB, which is even better than a regular RAW file! This works so well because there is usually enough information in at least one color channel for our models to reconstruct missing detail with a high level of preciseness. The larger resulting color space allows you to better edit saturation and vibrance without any visible artifacting.

    Color depth
    Color depth (also called bit depth) is how much color information the image can store. When editing an image with low bit depth, you will see color banding in smooth gradients like skies. An 8-bit JPEG only has 256 values per channel. Running that JPEG through JPEG to RAW AI will expand it to 65,532 values per channel. This will prevent posterization and banding when you adjust the contrast in your images.

    Artifacts
    You’ll see visible compression artifacts in your image when editing highly compressed images. JPEG to RAW AI is exceptional at removing these artifacts while preserving natural image features: Artifacts won’t be easily visible in high-quality JPEGs, but they can completely ruin an image if they are. They’ll also get accentuated by post-processing, especially sharpening. Run your images through JPEG to RAW AI to ensure artifacts don’t impact your workflow.

    Detail level
    JPEGs will often feature smoothed details due to a small sensor or heavy processing. For example, iPhone photos are heavily processed before being saved, which sometimes ends up removing a lot of image detail. JPEG to RAW AI helps you recover fine detail removed during the conversion process.

    OSX means absolutely nothing to many Windows users, and therefore you have not properly identified the Operating System in the heading. This is a very considerate thing to do and why it isn't in the rules is beyond understanding. However, would you please be kind enough to correct your headings on all such programs you've offered to reflect either WIN or MAC. Thank you so much.

    Also, this is a standalone product (at least it is for Windows users) and if true for the MacOS as well, then it should be moved to Other Related Downloads as it would not be a Panel or Plugin.

    Thank you for letting me know. I posted the original link in 2019 and it was fine until you mentioned it, so if the moderator could move it to the appropriate section, then that would be good.

    I would like to point out that the tone of your reply is not particularly nice considering I've provided a newer update to someone's request.

    I did not mean for my reply to be anything but cordial, so please don't read anything otherwise into it. My "tone" was simply letting you know something I consider a big problem on this site. Most (if not all) of your offerings here do not properly identify the Operating System. Yes, many were posted years ago, but at least some have been updated. I'm pretty sure you know that there are two major systems in play. But, even if you don't or didn't, the moderators here certainly should. Again, why site management has not made this an enforceable rule is beyond understanding. Updating the programs posted here is generally part of the responsibility the original poster accepts.

    In order for a moderator to move this, you will most likely need to report it to them. Thank you very much for correcting the title.

    @vrdude @h1ghm1nd could you please move this thread to Other Related Downloads?

    thank you.
