Checkerboard in background continues to appear with Photo AI 3.3.0

I’m getting checking board background when denoising and sharpening. It happens with JUST denoising too.

I’ve seen this in my older version as well. I thought I was doing something wrong. Clearly, not.

A couple of us have posted about this over the past months - TPAI denoise struggles in large dark areas and produces this grid/waffle/checkerboard pattern pretty consistently. You may be better off boosting exposure before you denoise and then backing it off afterwards, as long as your image has sufficient dynamic range.

Would you mind sending in some more information to get a better understanding of the problem you are having with this particular type of image? Please send the following information:

  1. The original image file.
  2. The processed image.
  3. A screenshot or description of the settings panel so I can see what adjustments were turned on.
