Every time I run DeNoise AI 3.1.0 it has to download the models, not too bad for the CPU but for the GPU in Low Light and Severe (especially) it takes way too long (5-10 min).
Once the models load the preview is virtually instant, but if I switch modes I have to redownload. Furthermore, in comparison mode every time it processes a mode it redownloads, move the view it redownloads, etc.
Processing is super fast but the constant downloads make it tediously slow with the GPU.
I need the models locally on my drive.
Also, move the Auto-Update toggle back to the main window PLEASE!
The preview shown in version 3.1.1 seems to have a regression, possibly related to retina displays on mac devices? It looks decidedly less sharp than the actual output. I confirmed it by taking a screenshot of the preview in Denoise AI and comparing it to the saved output.
Am using DeNoise AI in standalone mode.
Have tried v3.1.1 on some noisy iPhone JPG images with āSevere Noiseā option using the āautoā setting. The resulting images contained patches of corruption, visible as vertical darkened ripples.
The previous version of DeNoise AI did NOT produce such ācorruptionā in those same images.
Your feedback appreciated.
Now it would be great to have an automatic model selection that I could preselect.
Letās say I want to denoise images with LowLight at ISO 500 - 2000 and 2500 and above with the Severe Model.
At the moment I have an interruption because I can first denoise the images with LowLight and then the other images with Severe.
Through the image selection at the bottom of the window, you can hardly do something like that because the effort is too huge, it is easier with the interruption between the model changes.
Iām not sure what you mean? Why would anyone want it to start immediately processing the image before you pick any of your settings (which, btw, it processes it and it looks exactly the same, so itās not really DOING anything).
Iāve had Topaz Denoise for at least a couple years now and it pops up and allows you to choose your denoise settings before hitting process. This immediately starts to process the image before youāve chosen one setting.
Iām not really sure weāre talking about the same thing here or maybe I need more caffeine because thatās not making much sense to me. Sorry! Hereās the issue with images if it helps at all.
Normally when I pull up denoise, I get the side panel with all the options for settings.
When I pull up this latest version, it automatically goes to the final step (processing). It doesnāt process at the the auto settings or anything. If you forget to cancel it, it processes it and sends you back to photoshop and it looks exactly the same.
I canāt imagine anyone would want the image to process automatically with no settings applied. If this isnāt happening for anyone else I may try to uninstall and reinstall because itās frustrating.
I will set aside all the technical data (settings, preferences, buttons, etc.) as Iāve gone through them all, repeatedly. DeNoise, even the 3.1 upgrade, affects little if any of the noise issue for my photos. Itās useless for me and I donāt understand why (Iām using it only as a stand-alone, not through LR or PS). I get MUCH more satisfaction de-noising on Sharpen. Iāll keep futzing around with it, but Iām surprised it does so very little. I thought the new āsevereā option would help, but barely phased the noise. If anyone can help me understand whatās going on, Iām all ears.
No that is not normal way. It is a bug actually that Adobe introduced few version of Photoshop ago. It used to be that you can bring anything to the open document, a new layer from another document etc, and it would not auto update and re-render all the filters/plug ins. Now it does, since few versions ago. Its a terrible workflow sabotage do to another large Adobe bug. It is not Topaz fault this time. its Adobe, and its not supposed to be like this.
The updating of the smart filters only happens if off course one is using smart filters, so the file is re-rendered again. If you are not using smart object or smart filters, there is nothing to update.
You said itās working in earlier version (3.0.3 ), but if you are not using smart filters, are you sure we are talking about the same thing.
