Learn more about the new features in DeNoise AI 3.4
Important:
Mac OS minimum version has been bumped to 10.14. If you are on High Sierra you will need to update to Mojave or later.
Currently, launching DeNoise AI in External Editor mode on Mac OS using certain host applications—such as ON1 Photo RAW or Capture One—is not working properly. If you need to use DeNoise AI in External Editor mode with these host applications, please install DeNoise AI v3.2.0. We apologize for this inconvenience and are working on a resolution.
This temporary issue is required to allow Open With and dragging and dropping an image onto the app from overwriting images unknowingly. Using Open With or dragging and dropping an image onto the app should now open in standalone mode where you can save a copy of the image rather than overwriting it.
Fixed case where Photoshop plugin install script would not place plugins
Mac Specific Changes:
Added native M1 support
– Mac is now a universal binary
Current Mac installer will no longer be used
– Full installs will now use drag and drop style DMG file
– In-app updates from now on will use a .pkg file instead of the old installer
Mac application should be fully signed which should speed up initialization
Mac resources are now fully contained inside the .app bundle
– All files previously in tgrc can be found in Contents/Resources/local
The application will now prompt if you want to install PS plugins if it detects them missing
The application will now prompt if you want to uninstall an old version of the app if it detects one installed
– This is to remove the non-drag and drop versions (/Applications/Topaz Labs LLC/)
Auto model on M1 machines is now run through the AI engine
– Values may be slightly different than when running through Rosetta
UI Changes:
Added Hide/Cancel option to in-app update download dialog
Fixed size difference between apply/cancel and update preview buttons
Removed some minor graphical effects (e.g., demo image drop shadow)
Changed wording on the update check dialog that shows when you are already up to date
Changed margins on some components to line up better
– Qt 6 update caused a lot of misalignment, so if something is off please report it
Changed initial comparison view settings to always be Standard/Clear/Low Light/Severe Noise
Other:
Program should better handle Fuji files when checking if RAW model is available
Known Issues:
Studio 2 integration on Mac will no longer work due to the moving of the .app
Masking mode does not hide/show overlay consistently in some cases
– Masking mode is getting an overhaul hopefully by next release
Masking mode still missing Edge Aware
– This should come back when the masking overhaul happens
Nothing should have changed regarding that between the beta and this release, so not sure what the issue would be. We don’t do anything special for those apps (e.g., install plugins, link templates, etc), so it is likely some configuration for On1 that you need to edit.
What version of Windows do you have? Would need more info, and this is also not the best place to get support. You can open a ticket here: https://support.topazlabs.com/
It is probably due to the new update to On1 (today Dec 20th), but it causes On1 to quit and generates a crash log.
I have reverted to v3.2.0, as you suggested above, and that DOES work. But it’s quite slow as a plugin.
I will report to On1 Support and can also send you any logs you might find helpful.
This isn’t working at all with my Mac M1, OS 11.6. I tried a few round-trips with Lightroom Classic 11.0.1 and then separately as standalone with a .jpg created with the same image. The result is a nearly blank white file with a gradient in the upper left corner.
I just tried this on an M1 Mac mini running 12.1 and:
program did not ask to uninstall older version (so I foolishly ran the uninstaller included in the older version)
I had to manually input the external editor info into Lightroom (quit/reload LRC) which did successfully bring up the deNoise app but not the plug-in interface.
LR successfully handed the image over to DN but now there is a save button in lower right which does not close the app when done. After I did quit LR does nothing but there are 2 tiff files in the directory with identical names (which is interesting) but there is nothing to sync in LR because it doesn’t see the 2nd tiff prob because of the same name thing
I would say that the LRC plug-in behavior is quite broken. you do mention some other apps which will not work in ext editor mode but you do not mention LRC and that is either a huge oversight or a bug you missed in you extensive testing.
as for the assertion that “Changed initial comparison view settings to always be Standard/Clear/Low Light/Severe Noise” I can only say, “I wish but nope, still same old mess”.
I am going now to reinstall 3.2.
On the bright side however I do want to say that just off hand it seems about 2x as fast as before so I am looking forward to a fully functional 3.4.n?
V3.4.0 is not working at all for me. My traditional approach has been to drag the files from a folder on my Mac onto the open DeNoise screen. It then processes the files but I am only getting blank files of about 250k each?
I am having the same issue on M1 Max running macOS 12.1, exporting creates a blank file with gradient in top left corner. File is around 250kb. Tried with CPU and GPU renderer and results are the same.
I did not try 3.4 as a standalone on my M1 Mac mini, but it crashed On1 Photo Raw 2022 v3.1 when opened as a plugin. Since the beta ran perfectly well as a plugin on the previous version of PR 2022, the issue would seem to be with yesterday’s PR update.
I have sent the crash logs to On1 Support and suggest other On1 users do the same. It should also be reported to Topaz Support, even though the devs are keeping an eye on this thread for the time being.
As suggested at the top of this thread I have reverted to DeNoise 3.2, which is working OK so far for me, albeit more slowly since it is not M1 native.
By the way, I am not a PhotoShop user, so copied and pasted the plugin to the appropriate On1 folder from the DeNoise Package Contents.
