My screen shot of the file (jpg) just seems to send over post as it says “pic can’t send over post”. I tried updating, restarting etc. and gave up. Back to v4.7.1 where all seems to work well with my pic files.
I wait for next update or till u advice me what to do. Thanks.
I want to be able to completely turn off Supress Noise and Remove Blur like the older versions. How come I can’t set them to zero anymore? They cause bad color shifting on some low quality jpeg images, which didn’t happen with them turned off in previous versions.
Calibration selects OpenVINO as the optimal processing method but the processing time for a .jpeg image 2400x1600 2x is as follows:
3:27 mins OpenVINO, and
1:16 mins GPU/Medium
Summary: Processing using OpenVINO takes nearly 3 times longer than GPU processing and, this is the only app (I think) that gets the calibration wrong in a big way. For example, Sharpen AI selects OpenVINO but processing the same image using OpenVINO is 12 seconds & 11 seconds for GPU. Then DeNoise AI selects OpenVINO also, takes 9 secs to process with OpenVINO and 10 secs for the GPU.
Just tested the file name issue. The files load properly with lower case file name extensions. Apple apparently uses upper case extensions by default. Renaming the extensions to lower case allowed them to load.
Yes you are correct, on windows you get a message that it is an unsupported file type if there is a upper case extension … which, in the case of RAW images they are always upper-case so they wont open.
@taylor.bishop this looks like it is a problem, but it is an issue on windows also.
Maybe half of unsigned (or full signed) 16-bit integer max value (32767, including 0, or 32768, starting from 1) is the max for “civilian” GPUs? Cause they mentioned something about 32k pixel count limit in one of the later changelogs. Otherwise Topaz would have to switch to single or double precision calculations, which would, on vast majority of GPUs, cripple the performance significantly? And that’s why, among other things, one can’t go with more than 6x magnification?
It’s just a speculation though. Cause when I select 7.3 magnification for example, I still get pretty nice JPEG artifacts cleanup. Which brings the question - maybe a little option for just that - cleaning up JPEG artifacts? Gigapixel EXCELS in that field.
