Recover Faces v3 - Black artifacts on rotated faces

Topaz Photo Bugs and Issues
1

I have an error when using Recover Faces 3 - Cloud processing.

Large triangles appear around the face. I’ve done about 30 photos recently from the same competition, and this is the first with this issue. But it has done it twice, in exactly the same way. It appears when I click the ‘eye’ to preview the face recovery, and the download stage has just finished. It also appears in the exported DNG file

I don’t have the option to run locally with my graphics card. And Recover Faces 2 regularly generates a ghost eye if a face is in profile, so is basically unusable.

Sorry about the very wide screenshot - it wouldn’t let me resize the window.

@david.barker-2802 - thanks for flagging. This is something the development team is aware of and I will update this thread once a fix is issued. It seems to occur on some rotated faces only, with 3. Make sure to test v2 on this, or you can test Sharpen Portrait instead. Since its already a hi-res RAW file, it also may not need Recover Faces at all (meant for small low-resolution faces).

I’ll update here once a fix is released!
