Keep metadata for file and export

It would be great to have an option for TPAI to record its version and all of the settings used in creating a file in the metadata of the output file.

Specifically, I’d suggest that this information be written into the “User Comment” tag since Lightroom is happy to display that tag.

Currently that information is lost.

At the moment, you can include the filters in the suffix but are you saying having the version number and specific setting information would be much more useful?

Yes, I am. And specifically that this information should be put into metadata, not into the file name. Often I look back at a photo and need to know exactly how I processed it in case I’m redoing something or want to process another photo similarly. This is especially true since TPAI is evolving so rapidly–and was also true for Sharpen AI and Denoise AI.

Thanks

This would be an awesome idea!
I hate when there is a suffix at the end of the file.

It would be great if the photo metadata (settings, etc) were visible on the right panel.

I would like the option to set or restrict the metadata that is saved to a picture.

show metadata of file. would be nice to see iso\shutter speed etc to help determine how much adjustment is needed for noise \ motion blurr etc

This is something that our team is working to address.

I’d like to UPVOTE the original post, but there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to do this.

One additional thought . . . What if the settings were kept within a ‘sidecar’ text file like an xmp, but specific to Topaz Photo AI, say .TPAI. This file could be saved within Photo AI (or in a folder associated with it) so that when the same file is imported again into TPAI, the sidecar settings are read and applied (automatically, if the user wishes). The text file would include all settings plus any edited or added masks. For example, I often edit the “Subject” mask as it is not always accurate.
