Adobe to Acquire Topaz Labs, as Demand for AI Tools Increases

Provided by Dow Jones

By Grace Yoon 




  Adobe has agreed to acquire Topaz Labs, which develops artificial intelligence-powered photo and video enhancement tools. 



  Topaz Labs' AI models, which have won an Emmy Award, helps sharpen detail, remove noise, restore footage and increase resolution for tools that combine real-world photos with AI-generated imagery, Adobe said. 



  With Topaz, Adobe will implement AI enhancement models in Adobe Firefly, Firefly Services and Creative Cloud apps, Adobe said. Topaz will also bring its proprietary Neurostream technology, which allows larger AI models to run locally on consumer devices. 



  David Wadhwani, President, Creativity & Productivity Business at Adobe, said the acquisition comes as creatives increasingly mix captured and generated images and videos. 



  Topaz Chief Executive Eric Yang will continue to lead the Topaz Lab team. 



  The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2026.
