Each time i use the standalone application (not via Ps) and select a file, the download models bar appears and it takes ages.
it is quite annoying and the application is unusable. Interestingly this seems to have started after my one year updates purchase ended, which promised that i can still use the app, ill just stop recieving updates. Hope this has nothing to do with it.
in the Log many models/[…].json files are noted as “Ignoring repeat model” but i cant understand the logs.
Disable any antivirus, firewall, VPN, or proxy software that might be active on your computer. These tools sometimes interfere with the installer’s ability to download the model files.
Ensure that the Topaz Photo AI installer has all the proper settings in your system by going to your Mac System Settings > Privacy & Security tab and scrolling down to the security section. You will want to make sure you have ‘App Store and identified developers’ selected | MacOS | Example of Proper System Preferences
Yesterday I installed Topaz AI on a PC and I had the problem: always downloading models each time I opened a photo. I Went to the “check for updates folder”, I updated and repaired my installation. Problem solved.
