Early but there are quite a few links out there.

Adobe said that it will integrate Topaz Labs' tools across its apps.

Interesting how the link states "acquires", while the first sentence of the story states "...it is acquiring....".

It is either "completed" (acquires) or "currently in the process of" (it is acquiring)... it can't be both.

Looks like someone got a "C" in high school English class.

The news about this may only a few hours old but they like to make the headlines grab the readers eye. There seems to be a lot more of grade C publishing out there these days.

My concern is that Adobe Denoise is already better then Topaz. Being a subscriber to Adobe I hope this doesn't impede improvements and development of the Adobe core products and tools.

I had that concern when they partnered with Topaz last year. Adobe's Denoise AI is already very good but I like anyone else would welcome any improvements. They never had a Sharpen AI module. They were already into Nano Banana, Topaz Bloom and other partnered tools. We shall see where this all goes. The cancel plan button has always been 10 seconds away and I'd have no issues using it. I'm hoping that does not get there.
