Topaz Sharpen AI v2.0.4 Help needed on selective sharpening/masking

Please help me around, i am quite a newbie in Topaz sharpening

I can sharpen a picture in total without problem. I want to sharpen just a bird in my picture.
I use topas as a pluging for Lightroom
I used the following 3 methods but can’t seem to get it working: what am i doing wrong?

  • i masked the bird, applied the mask and sharpened as normal
  • i masked the bird, inverted the mask, applied the mask and sharpened as normal
  • i sharpened the total picture, then masked the bird

any help appreciated

Can you please tell me WHERE TO POST A ‘GETTING STARTED’ Question? I see no button or option on my screen to do that even tho I’ m logged in. I purchased Topaz 3 years ago, trying to use it.
