Color Banding on the Bentley, oh my!

After applying optional Denoise enhancement adjustment, Photo AI 3.0.0. rendered some color banding on the grill of a classic Bentley automobile.

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Load supplied image into Topaz Photo AI 3.0.0 (Windows version). Topaz Photo AI automatically renders adjustments for some Sharpening and a person or two. However, the Bentley wing fender looks grainy-noisy. (gasp!)
  2. Click Add Enhancements.
  3. Click Denoise. AI Model is Normal. Change Strength to 11. Don’t change other values.
  4. Click Export Image.
    Result: horizontally arrayed color banding appears on grill. See screenshot.

    Attached is also the source file before making changes to Enhancements (Denoise).

Thanks for sending in that file, could you tell me what camera model you are using?

Nikon D800 with Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 lens.

Let’s try updating you to the most recent version release to see if this resolves the issue.

Please make sure you’ve also turned off any firewall, VPN, or proxy that may be on your computer. These are known to block the installation. Also, make sure there are no settings or configurations in your OS system that could interfere.
