Experiencing noticeable and distinct color shifting with v3. Detail also looks more non-organic with v3, with noticeable compressions of colors and range, changing the character and clarity/structure of the image in undesirable ways. In my mind, if the original RGB values of the pixels can no longer be found in the upscale, then does not work as an upscaler. Please keep V2 as an option for some time: v3 is presently too problematic for use. I would rather use Photoshop Preserve Details 2.0 over this V3. Hope this gets to the right people.

Upon further review, the dynamic range and detail changes are not as bad as I thought compared to the original, in fact it was the v2 that seemed to be introducing or reducing contrast. I apologize. Color shift is certainly still present though.

V3 also has issues with normals, most of the models seem to when going from 4k to 8k, V3 at 50% no other settings enabled
