Known issues we've tracked

ACQUISITION (2026-06-25): **Adobe is acquiring Topaz Labs.** Adobe plans to fold Topaz's image/video enhancement tech (upscaling, denoising, sharpening) into Firefly, Photoshop, and Premiere; the deal is expected to close in H2 2026. Near-term the standalone Photo AI / Video AI / Gigapixel apps continue, but buyers weighing a multi-year subscription should factor in probable product consolidation into Adobe's Creative Cloud stack (and Adobe's own pricing/subscription posture) once the deal closes. Watch for roadmap clarity post-close.
