i have the same problem… it takes much time and procespower to detect a face which is not there… i disabled all settings for it.
i work with 12th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-12650H and nvidia rtx4060 8gb…
I hear you. I’m on a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i9-13900K and an RTX 4090.
I don’t want to make up a conspiracy, but it seems as if ALL three of my Topaz Ai apps I own are now working very slowly at the same time Topaz Labs is trying to sell us on cloud credits and offloading workloads to their cloud for a price. Coincidence? Are the new versions doing so much more than the old ones?
I too am having the same problem. I’m just running it on a landscape photo with no faces to detect. I have mine shut off and it is still running!
Topaz, can you please give us some suggestions as to how to avoid it! It’s annoying!
Exactly the same issue… on a landscape image and the sharpening is less powerfull than on old Photo AI… Topaz should give us a solution ! Thanks !
Hi. Same here. Cringing.
What used to take 20 sec has turned into useless minutes.
Topaz, please, address the issue.
Same problem. Has there been any answer or suggestion from Topaz?
“Seems” to be solved in latest updates.
Yes, me too! Why does “Detecting faces” take most of the time for updating the preview? There seems to be no option to disable this in the preferences. It’s possible that this is just the preview-making process taking time, but that’s not what the progress bar says. I am apparently running the latest version (v.8.1.1).
Topaz, can we please have an option to turn this off if it’s not necessary? Or re-brand it if it is!
Hi mate
Same issue here which has persisted throughout all updates, now on 8.1.1
I have just sent an email to Topaz with screenshots etc, so hopefully we’ll get this issue rectified
