Topaz Labs Starlight Precise 2.5

by Topaz LabsMarch 25, 2026

Starlight Precise 2.5 is a diffusion-based video enhancement model from Topaz Labs that upscales, denoises, de-aliases, and sharpens video while maintaining full temporal consistency across frames. It delivers photorealistic detail with natural skin textures and faces, preserving the original look of the footage without artificial artifacts.
