Sharpen/Refocus and Sharpen/Natural move the image slightly and in different ways.
I was not able to replicate it with my workflow, but I would like to get some more information about the problem you are having in order to share it with the development team for review. To do so please take a screen recording of this behavior so I can see exactly what is happening.
Loom is a great free application for this: Loom | Free Screen & Video Recording
Thank you, John, for your quick reply. I’ll try to do what you suggest and get back to you. My memory is fading, but I think I once had the same problem in Topaz Sharpen and it was subsequently corrected (it could have been Photo AI, though, I’m not really sure).

Hi John,
Not what you suggested (I’ll try again tomorrow and follow your suggestions), but what I’ve done is:
I used PS Elements for this experiment and saved the image as tiff with layers.
-
Duplicated base layer of a tiff image, sharpened whole image using Photo AI Sharpen Standard. If I click the Standard layer off and on, I see no movement in the image.
-
Duplicated base layer again and moved it to the top, and sharpened using Refocus. Clicking this layer on and off shows that there is movement relative to the Standard layer below. Making that standard layer invisible, clicking the Refocus layer on and off shows the same relative movement.
-
Duplicated base layer again and moved it to the top, and sharpened it using Natural. With all layers visible, clicking the Natural layer on and off making the Refocus layer visible, shows no movement (so what I said that the movement after Refocus and Natural being different was incorrect). Making the the refocus layer invisible, clicking the Natural layer on and off shows the same movement relative to the Standard of the original base layer.
Image is attached.
Please let me know if you would like me to try the method you had suggested.
Many thanks,
Rashid

I couldn’t send the file as tiff, so now I zipped it and am attaching it, hopefully that will work. Sorry!

Replying here in case other users experience this, as we notified Rashid about this when we troubleshooted on his support email.
The development team is aware of a pixel shift, only on Natural and Refocus Sharpen AI models, and only happening with AMD Radeon cards. It will not occur on NVIDIA cards or Macs. I will close this thread as resolved once a fix is released.
