Plans to Improve Starlight (Cloud) Quality and Artifacts

The main problem I’m having with it is that it seems to “hallucinate” too much, especially on mostly dark or black screens. It creates lots of “stars” and particle effects that float around. It also seems to alter on screen elements, and masks certain things it shouldn’t mask. Sometimes as well during scene transitions, especially if there are black frames in between scenes, a bizarre screen of fractal like patterns will flash.

This makes its results unusable for me, I’m afraid. :frowning:

Is Topaz aware of these issues with it? Are there any plans to release updates to the model to fix this?

There are plans to continue to improve the model being used and possibly create some new variants of the model for different workflow and needs.

Stay tuned as the devs and research team are working on everything as quickly as they can.
