Repeating square pattern

Topaz Photo AI Bugs and Issues
1

After processing a raw file in PhotoAI, some of the images have what I can best describe as a window pane or checkerboard pattern in the main subject.

Photo AI 1.2.4
Lightroom Classic 12.2
Windows 10

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Select raw file in Lightroom
  2. File > Plugin Extras > Process with PhotoAI
  3. Default noise reduction, no sharpening
  4. Save file back to Lightroom

The first image was not resized; the second was resized to 2x.

Please send the following information so I can try to reproduce this.

  1. The original image file.
  2. The processed image with the tile pattern.

This looks like a known issue when Raw Remove Noise and Enhance Resolution are used together. We are working on a solution for this.

Thank you! I’ve uploaded four examples - one that was not enlarged and the others at 1.5x and 2x.
