I wish Google wouldn’t have come to the table with yet another protocol, but it is what it is. I still get better HDR with my pro Nikon and Fuji gear, but i have to admit, 1st couple test shots were impressive
hi everybody, i wish photo ai could import and export 32 bit images - any chance to implement a full support for hdr images?
mad

Are there currently any plans to implement HDR photo merging, basically everything Enfuse does but with anti ghosting. Batch processing would be a priority as well.
This is on our developer’s radar however we do not have a current timeframe for this being available in the application.

What Im pointing out is not a bug but something more fundamental and that is the new user interface which has, in my opinion, taken a backward step on 3.2.2. Having a well designed interface that allows a straightforward workflow is essential. Ive found since moving on to 3.2.2 while a great improvement on earlier versions in regard to image output quality, I’m finding the interface leaves a lot to be desired when compared to other apps. IT may be something that Topaz may wish to re-think
Steps to reproduce issue:

Topaz Photo AI [v1.x.x] on [Windows/Mac]
Hi,
HDR photos as JPEG edited in Topaz Photo AI will be exported as SDR.
Can you candle HDR format to keep this tool incredible?
Config : Sony Alpha 7RV with HDR and 10:2:2 bits

I know there have been posts about supporting 32 bit HDR TIF, EXR, and HEIC/JPG/gain map support (whether native, or upscaling). Fully in favor. But, I’d like to focus on the importance of 32 bit RAW support.
RAW images contain an incredible amount of dynamic range at 32 bit. But to use Topaz Photo AI’s tools, I have to give that up and drop to 16 bit if I want to denoise a DNG. It’s really unfortunate to have to discard that data at a fundamental starting step. It means that I will have to avoid Topaz Photo AI if I even think I might want to create an HDR version.
I’m happy to be corrected workflow-wise, but am pretty sure I understand this properly here. I’m hoping this is in the works, and available soon!
[Please describe your idea and how it would be useful to you in your workflow.]
When Photo Is Loaded into Host Color mode in host done in 32 bit Like in photo shop.If Photo AI is Going to use RGB Than Files used in Processing can be 32Bit EXR.After When Done File can be written out as selected output file.
Recently Adobe has released Lightroom updates to support HDR photo editing from RAW using gain maps - basically, you edit the image specifically to have color/intensity values for an HDR display. This makes a JPEG file look extraordinary on HDR displays (even from a single RAW file, no bracketing necessary). The JPEG file embeds a gain map for fallback to SDR display on a machine that isn’t capable of displaying the extra HDR features.
This is absolutely the future of all photos moving forwards, as the vast majority of mobile devices already support it, as do a decent amount of computer and tv screens. Moving into the future we’ll see it everywhere.
Does Topaz Photo AI already support it? If so, how should I integrate it into my workflow? If it doesn’t support it, is there a timeline for future support? Thank you very much for the time and consideration!

Just a quick note - you may find an explanation of this on many Youtube channels and online forums, but I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V1edlS0O5k to be very helpful. This is specifically NOT about the standard “HDR” photo technique where you cram as much dynamic features into a standard color space as possible - it’s specifically about extending the dynamic range past SDR for modern displays, creating more vibrant pictures without making them unreal looking.
Edit: Here’s the official Adobe post! High Dynamic Range - Explained | Adobe Blog
This would be great. Presently, the Ultra HDR raw files from my Pixel 8 Pro do not work: the images have a green cast in Topaz Photo AI. If I convert them to 16-bit TIFF from lightroom, they loose their HDR highlights.
Yes this also happens with HEIC HDR files from both iPhone and Android phones.
Please can the next topaz photo ai release feature collage (with constraining proportions preference), HDR and filters.
I would love an HDR Tool added to Photo AI.
Any upcoming plans ?
Jim
