Photo AI is very limited in what it offers + + Topaz Studio 2 file not compatible

Some frustrating issues, including the fact that once I had type it all out, and I uploaded screenshots, I lost all my comment notes.
So here we go; I have loaded my raw files into (Adobe PS) Lightroom Classic; I tried to edit a Pentax K3m3 DNG file
I am using a Mac mini with Ventura 16.6
Several issues occurred; screen shots attached.

Topaz Photo did the AI thing,
BUT, even though there’s a button to adjust light and colour, it is not in operation but “coming soon”
The file exported was dark and with much more contrast than the original;
So I then opened in Topaz Studio 2,
to adjust levels and colour; I saved it in the same folder, expecting it would act as any plug-in.

It did not show up in LR , so I went to import it.
Lightroom could not import the file.
I tried Adobe PS; same thing.
DXO Photo Lab5 ; ditto
Preview; could not open and even crashed in the process twice.




Thanks for reaching out. Can you send me one of the Raw files? It may be unsupported.

I can check if we can add support for it.

I read your email and have just uploaded 2 files to your dropbox folder.One as it came out of the Pentax K3iii, and the one that I had saved in Tpz S2… that no other programs that I have, can open

Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy the many capabilities of Topaz programs (Apps).

It just seems to me that your Photo AI has been released a bit prematurely without all its features working.
