Poor quality /blurry preview

[jakubchrudina.eu (JakubChrudina)]

Hi, Photo AI loads RAW from Olympus OM-1 (first generation), but the preview when working in the editor is poor quality at 100% scale - as if in low resolution. It is not possible to estimate the degree of sharpening, it works very poorly. After exporting RAW to DNG, when I open the DNG in Lightroom, the photo quality is excellent. I am adding screenshots (100% scale cutout). I’ve had this problem the whole time I’ve been using Photo AI. In the case when I edit TIF and not RAW, everything is ok. I have the same problem with RAW files from the old Nikon D90.

Steps to reproduce issue:

1. Open Lightroom
2. Select photo in Libray, File - Plugin Extras - Proces with Topaz Photo AI
3. Photo preview in Topaz is poor quality
4. Exporto to DNG, open DNG in Lightroom - image quality is ok.

Uploaded. It doesn’t matter what photo adjustments are chosen, whether it’s just denoise or sharpening, or both. The preview is always in poor quality.
