I am a new user of Topaz Photo AI 2.4.1. I have been using the stand-alone app though I have both Photoshop and Lightroom. I’m encountering a lot of crashes. And BTW the User Guides link brings up nothing. I bought it for enlarging images. Current image I’m looking at I’m trying to enlarge by 2.5. Topaz has crashed twice trying to do this.
Partly I’m writing to ask about proper workflow… like is it better to give it 16 bit images to have more information or does that slow things down. And even though it says the resizing happens last… it seems one has to enter that first to know whether sharpening and noise are ok. So I’m not sure the right order to do things. And of course I want to know why it is crashing so much. It did so even after a fresh re-boot.
My system is this: (not sure how much of this you want):
