Topaz Photo AI Bugs and Issues

[Please describe your issue here. Try to include logs (Help → Logging) and add screenshots if necessary.]

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Step 1
  2. Step 2
  3. Step 3

When submitting a RAW file via “Plug-in extras”, PAI never seems to enable sharpening by default. When I enable it there is model and strength selected. Subject and face detection is disabled. All there levels (low medium and high) are selected for sharpen blur “enable when sharpen blur is”.

We can determine if the threshold for sharpening needs to be increased.

Seems to have improved in 1.4.2, but still not perfect. Uploaded an example: onguent_05282023_1092.nef

Thanks for sending the file. It looks like this image needs noise reduction. It is soft, but not enough for Topaz Photo AI to use sharpening.

Do you have subject selection off so that the entire image is sharpened?

We may work on options to let you decrease the threshold for sharpening in the near future.

subject selection was off

We have plans for allowing users to control the threshold for when filters are turned on. That will help with this soon.
