The latest news from Topaz, Skylum, and ON1


Topaz Labs is working on a new app called Photo AI that will incorporate DeNoise AISharpen AI, and Gigapixel AI into one software package. This new product will likely replace the current Topaz Labs Image Quality Bundle that is currently on sale ($99 off, get an additional 15% off with promo code IQBUNDLE15). If you purchase the Topaz Labs Image Quality Bundle today, you will get the new Topaz Photo AI app for free when released in September.


Skylum released Luminar Neo 1.2.0 with the first-ever HDR merge extension, dodge & burn tool, bug fixes, stability improvements, and more. The full press release can be found here (you can use code RUMORSNEO for $10 off).


ON1 Software posted a new technology preview video on what’s ahead for the ON Photo RAW product line and what’s coming next.

LeicaRumors email subscription no longer available, looking for alternatives

LeicaRumors can also be found on Instagram, YouTube, and Flickr but I am not very active on those channels:

Leica L1 and L2 watches currently in stock at Leica Store LA



I was told that a very limited number of Leica L1 and L2 watches are currently in stock at Leica Store LA – the only location in the US that sells the new Leica watches (the L1 costs $10,000 and the L2 is $14,000):


The wait time for the Leica watch is usually several months and I am sure the few available pieces will sell out quickly. You can call Leica Store LA at +1 424-777-0341 or email them at
