Topaz AI Clear vs Topaz DeNoise 6

[srmoment]

I did some tests on AI Clear too as I was thinking of buying it; however, in Cdn $'s the cost is close to $100.00 and that is pretty expensive.
I used "Save-For-Web" so the quality is not as good as on my screen, but if you click on each image you can see some differences.  I found that topaz studio and AI Clear working as a plug-in with Elements did nothing. Noise was reduced using AI Clear within Topaz Studio, but in general I preferred the job deNoise 6 did over AI Clear.
1: DeNoise6
 

2: AI Clear in Topaz Studio (outside Elements)

 

3: AI Clear inside Elements (plug-in)

 

#4: Original

Thank you for this helpful comparison. I'll stick with DeNoise for now. My photos don't seem to have much noise or I just don't notice it.
