Consistently crashing when trying to edit sharpen parameters

When opening a Canon .CR2 file Topaz Photo AI does and completes its analysing. I then add a Sharpen enhancement to the image. I then choose Custom from the Sharpen options window and Topaz Photo AI instantly crashes. Every time.

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Open RAW .CR2 image
  2. Add Sharpen enhancement
  3. Choose Custom from the Sharpen options window. App crashes.

Let me know how that goes for you and I’ll keep an eye out for your reply.

After doing everything you suggested I have been able to progress with my images without the repeated crashing. Thanks for your help. It might take me a while to get my faith back into the process. The consistent crashing was more than a little demoralising.

I understand the frustration, but I’m glad we were able to help resolve the issue :slight_smile:
