Please don’t phase out the old versions - maybe rename them. When I try V2 the images look fake. Oversharpening on the edges and smoothing in subject details. I’m also finding in fur it smooths out the fur instead of holding onto detail.
In the middle of this I updated, you had moved to V2 and removed the old versions. I think you may have improved it but, and this applies to the old and V2 versions… one of the big issues is the AI sharpening subject used with Strong V2. You have to go in and clean up the AI selected subject, it grabs a lot of unnecessary extras… that is where I’m seeing the worst of the haloing and moire. I also have to go in and bring back the recommended strengths on everything. Then after processing going into Lightroom and bringing down the texture and clarity of the image. After a few trials, I feel like it’s better to bring the image in unedited from Lightroom and edit after topaz AI has been applied.
I haven’t had a chance to try this on fur yet. In the past V2 had some major issues with smoothing out fur.
One last request… would it be possible to add an on/off checkbox for the sharpen subject selection, like in Lightroom? It would make it easier to fine tune the selection rather than applying it and then having to go back in to fine tune the selection more.
Thanks,
Heather
