[AUTO-PILOT CONTROLS] - Additional preferences for autopilot

[PWC]

Hello,
in the Edit/Preferences/Autopilot there’s already a useful set of prefs:

Could you add
-Remove Noise model (disabled, auto, normal, strong)
-Sharpen model (disabled, auto, standard, strong)
[that could even coexist with the existing “enable when detected blur is”…]
-Enhance Resolution model (disabled, auto, standard, high fidelity, graphics, low resolution)

That would be a great way to control, what models one wants to use. If everything is kept to auto, it will do the exact same thing as now. But If I know that all of my images are based on graphics and I don’t want to remove noise, then I can set that preference. And even the CLI would use that preference.

Thanks a lot in advance for considering!

I agree with this idea. Now that other models have been introduced, add the ability to disable other models such as Lens Blur.

@tim.he Could you please also add the dropdown value “Always On” to Sharpen and Remove Noise (non-raw and raw)?

I have many cases where I know that I need sharpen (because I am processing a folder with images that are all blurred in one way or the other) and autopilot often doesn’t detect that sharpen is needed.

Thanks in advance!

UHD4KUser also had a suggestion in the autopilot preferences department which would be helpful:

Topaz Photo AI v2.1.0

Suggestion: Since the “Standard” model is the only one with a “Fix compression” value, the autopilot settings should also have (read: it NEEDS) a value that the user can set as it doesn’t always get it right (ie. one compressed images needed it at 80, but it set it to 20). [image] If I’m doing a batch of images, I don’t want to keep having to readjust it or apply it to one and then set it for all if I can streamline the process.

This also goes into the direction of additional preferences:

Additional Preferences Setting: Scratch Disk

Recently I have been getting notices that I only have 5GB of space free on my OS drive all the time. I would like to be able to set the Scratch Disk like I can on Photoshop because my OS drive doesn’t have lots of room.

It’s got my vote, too.

Background
There are 2 features:

1. Adjust Lighting
2. Balance Colors

I would like to automatically run those 2 features on multiple photos(Batch editing). Right now I have to check each photo to enable adjust lighting.
There is 1 horrible workaround of “apply current settings to selected” but I want autopilot to run on all of my photos too.

Proposed Solution:
Is there a way for

1. Adjust Lighting and Balance Colors be incorporated in the autopilot settings?
2. There be a setting option in preferences menu that allows you to turn the feature on and off?

Thanks for the idea and suggestions! Make sure that you do not forget to vote for your idea

Since the Adjust Lighting and Balance Colors features are still in their Beta form, we are working on many of the capabilities before fully releasing them.
