Photo AI V3 round tripping with Apple Photos

I thought I posted this morning but cannot find it.
Canon CR3 (Canon Compressed RAW) roundtripping from Apple Photos is not working. If I edit the photo in Photos first it round trips but when I send the unedited RAW file to Topaz, and save back to Apple Photos, it hangs up.

  1. Step 1 Open Canon RAW (CR3) in Apple Photos & click Edit
  2. Step 2 Click the 3 dots and select Edit with Topaz Photo AI
  3. Step 3 Use Autopilot or any enhancement.
  4. Step 4 click Save to Apple Photos
  5. Step 5 sit back and watch the wheel spinning round and round.

After you have done this, disable any antivirus, firewall, VPN, or proxy software that might be active on your computer. These tools are sometimes known to interfere with the installer’s ability to download the model files.

Please also 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. Here is a video example:

Finally, rerun the installer. You can download a new installer from the downloads page directly :
