Ok, just managed to upgrade it for free.

Very good! I think it depends on where you're at in your yearly upgrade period.

Version 2.0.2 was just released, on sale through tomorrow, 9/22 (https://www.topazlabs.com/shop/ref/5/).
"This week we have a massive change in the way RAW files are previewed and exported in the app. All previews and exports will now utilize Adobe DNG SDK by default. This should make colors more accurate for a lot of cameras and gives us a good base for making further improvements."

Reminder, today is the LAST DAY (https://www.topazlabs.com/shop/ref/5/) of the current sale.

I am just a satisfied user. A friend sent a very small 508 KB file to me to be printed at 16" x 19". I was unable to uprez that file in Photoshop or Lightroom without significant pixelation and halo's. Ran it through Topaz AI 2.0.4, saved as a tiff and wow, printed great.

Is there any advantage, other than convenience, to using this over the individual sharpen, denoise, and gigapixel apps?

Hi Peter, just saw your post.
The individual apps you listed are no longer getting updates, so all development effort and the latest trained models are going into Photo AI (with some cool stuff in the works!).
I did a comparison recently and Photo AI was edging out Gigapixel in results, but it has been doing that for some time now.
You can visit the Topaz website (https://www.topazlabs.com/shop/ref/5/) and download demos of all of the apps to do some comparisons on your own images.
The current version of Photo AI is 2.0.7 (no update today, wow!).

I recently paid for a year of support for Gigapixel AI including updates during that time. Sounds like I'm not getting anything for my money. Bait and switch?

Back some time, I had signed up for extended support on all 3 (sharp, focus, giga). Topaz, when asked, was nice enough to extend PhotoAI to same period. Nice people to deal with.
