Why are the colours so lurid in the image for editing? NEF files from Nikon Z8, imported directly and unprocessed from Lightroom.
Matt
How about posting a screenshot of what you’re seeing.
Screenshots attached. Same screen, no adjustments made. The RAW file colours are realistic and I would not make any adjustment to them, the Topaz are way out and even when saved they have been altered in Topaz to be more saturated.

Hi John

I was able to replicate this color shift on my machine. I have made a task for the team to investigate this further.
Would someone please help ? I have Z8 with firmware 2.0 and Topaz displayed very wrong color when processing and preview. While saving back to lightroom CC, everything looks fine.
Appreciate for any feedback.
Let’s try updating you to the most recent version, v2.4.2, 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.
Try using the appropriate OS system link to update:

As you can see in Screenshots, image’s color in LR CC was displayed totally different in Topaz AI. Saving the final edit back to lightroom and the processed image looks fine in Lightroom.
Thanks for sending in those file examples.
The Z8 color display issue is being investigated by our developers who are working diligently to correct this problem. It appears that the applicaitons is applying the wrong camera profile to the image when it’s imported which is changing the color rendering.
When the image is imported back to Lightroom Classic from Topaz Photo AI, it should be using the Camera Standard profile again to correct the color.
I passed this information to my team so we can work on a fix. For now, it’s frustrating, but the color in Topaz Photo AI will be inaccurate.
Let me know if that helps and if you have further questions about this.
Thank you John. Hope this issue will be fixed in the next update of Topaz AI. Its very uncomfortable to adjust images when color accuracy is way off.

The color of Z8 NEF files are completely messed up.
Very disappointing that this was not fixed with version 3.0

Hi John.
Downloaded 3.0 version and the problem was not fixed…! Would you mind checking again ?
Hi,
the new version generates a heavily tinted result in my Nikon Z8 photos, which cannot be correctefd in LR. I never use color correction, only denoise, sharpen and sometimes upscale.
I’ll upload a sample file (frank.lepper_colorTint.zip) to the Dropbox of John Sloan.
