Seamless Integration with Griptape Nodes
Getting started is simple. After cloning the Topaz Labs Nodes library into your Griptape workspace and configuring your Topaz Labs API key, add the library to your Griptape Node Engine configurations and you’ll find a new set of nodes available in your Griptape Nodes editor. These nodes can be combined in sequence, and fine-tuned to create custom workflows tailored to your unique creative needs. Whether you’re cleaning up noisy images, upscaling old video footage, or applying artistic enhancements to portraits, the Topaz Labs Nodes put professional-grade AI at your fingertips.
Let’s explore the core features and capabilities that make this integration another game-changer for creative professionals.
AI-Powered Image Enhancement
1. Topaz Denoise Node: Noise is the bane of photographers, especially in high ISO or low-light conditions. The Topaz Denoise node leverages advanced AI algorithms to remove noise while preserving fine details and sharpness. With adjustable parameters for noise reduction strength, minor deblurring, and original detail preservation, you can achieve natural-looking results tailored to each image. Whether you’re restoring scanned documents, cleaning up old photos, or prepping images for further enhancement, this node is your first line of defense against unwanted grain.
2. Topaz Enhance Node: Once your images are clean, the Topaz Enhance node takes them to the next level. This node sharpens, clarifies, and upscales images using state-of-the-art AI models. Choose from specialized models for standard photos, low-resolution images, CGI, or text and line art. Fine-tune sharpening, denoising, and compression artifact removal, and even enable AI-powered face enhancement for portraits. The result? Crisp, vibrant images ready for print, web, or professional editing workflows.
The video below shows an example of the Enhance Node in action. In this case we are using the CGI enhancement model to improve the clarity of an image from the recent Dune Awakening game from Funcom.
3. Topaz Creative Enhance Node: For those looking to add a creative touch, the Topaz Creative Enhance node offers advanced artistic control and specialized face enhancement. Perfect for portrait photographers and artists, this node lets you apply creative sharpening, intelligent noise reduction, and face-focused enhancements with adjustable intensity. Whether you’re retouching headshots or experimenting with artistic effects, this node gives you the flexibility to achieve your vision.
In the video below, we return to the image that we improved in the last example and run the Topaz Labs Creative Enhance Refine Model against the image with some moderate to high settings, you will see that many aspects of the image are changed in creative ways.
Revolutionary Video Processing
4. Topaz Frame Interpolation Node: Video creators know the value of smooth motion and high frame rates. The Topaz Frame Interpolation node uses AI to convert videos to higher frame rates—up to 120fps—delivering buttery-smooth playback and stunning slow-motion effects. With models optimized for different content types and intelligent duplicate frame removal, you can transform ordinary footage into cinematic experiences, perfect for gaming, sports, or creative projects.
5. Topaz Video Upscale Node: Breathing new life into old or low-resolution videos is now easier than ever. The Topaz Video Upscale node uses generative AI to enhance resolution, recover lost details, and improve overall quality. Choose from models tailored for broadcast, archival, or generative upscaling, and adjust parameters for detail enhancement, sharpening, noise reduction, and compression recovery. Whether you’re preparing content for large displays or restoring archival footage, this node delivers professional results.
6. Topaz Video Denoise Node: Noisy or compressed video footage can be a challenge, but the Topaz Video Denoise node is up to the task. It removes noise and compression artifacts while maintaining temporal consistency across frames, ensuring your videos look clean and natural. With both auto and manual modes, you can let the AI analyze and process your footage or take full control over noise intensity, detail preservation, and sharpening.
Flexible, Customizable Workflows
One of the greatest strengths of the Topaz Labs Nodes for Griptape is the ability to chain nodes together, creating powerful, multi-step enhancement pipelines. For example, a typical image workflow might start with Topaz Denoise, followed by Topaz Enhance, and finish with Topaz Creative Enhance for portraits. Video workflows can combine Video Denoise, Video Upscale, and Frame Interpolation for complete restoration and enhancement.
Each node offers precise control over effect strength, detail preservation, and output format. Choose from JPEG, PNG, or WebP for images, and MP4, MOV, or AVI for videos, with support for modern codecs like H.265 for optimal quality and compression. This flexibility ensures your outputs are perfectly suited to your downstream workflows, whether you’re publishing online, printing, or editing further.
Professional Results, No Code Required
The Topaz Labs Nodes for Griptape democratize access to professional-grade AI enhancement. You don’t need to be a machine learning expert or a software developer, just drag, drop, and configure nodes in the Griptape Nodes editor. The intuitive interface and detailed parameter controls make it easy to experiment, iterate, and achieve the exact results you want.
