Photo AI 3 -- version 3.3.0 autopilot fails to identify faces needing recovery

[john.villere]

Steps to reproduce issue:

1. Load file
2. Select “Add Enhancements”
3. Select “Apply Autopilot”
4. Autopilot seems to ignore the obvious need for “Recover Faces” and opts for just “Sharpen” instead.
   I’ve included one such example:
5. Original Photo
   
   
6. Autopilot result (Sharpen only)
   
   
7. Manual result (Sharpen and Face Recovery)
   
   

This shortcoming is particularly problematic when batch processing an entire folder with lots of faces; a great number of the photos require individual attention when “Recover Faces” was all that was needed.

Version 3.3.0 seems way slower than earlier versions, even when its doing only one task.
