Ghost Image appearing in Lightroom Classic when cropping applied in Topaz AI

Photo AI Bugs and Issues

Ver 3.1.0
Copy of DNG photo edited in Topaz. Applying NR, Sharpen (subject), and Upscale. When cropping is applied to image a small ghost image of the subject appears on the edited copy.

When no cropping applied the image is saved correctly without the ghost image. (Image too big to attach.)

The subject is a small portion of the total image so cropping is desirable to reduce processing of uneeded portions of the image.

Images attached - _DNC7784.dng – original image
_DNC7784-2.dng – saved image with ghost

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. select original dng image in LRc and invoke Topaz from plug-in
  2. When topaz initial review is done and controls become available, select crop (unlocked) and isolate subject
  3. Select sharpen (defaults) and Upscale (2x)
  4. Save to LRc

I was not able to replicate this ghost artefact you are reporting while working with the DNG file you sent over on my machine. To help the developers get a better understanding as to why this might be happening, would you mind taking a screen recording of this behavior?

Loom is a great free application for this: Loom | Free Screen & Video Recording
