In the latest version (2.4.0) no sharpening seems to take place with any of the sharpen models. In split view there is no detectable change in sharpness regardless of model or settings used. Other enhancements seem to work as before, but not sharpen.

Many people seeing this issue.
No issues for me: all sharpening models fine.
Mac Mini M1 16GB Sonoma
The problem is:
Preferences > Subject Detection set to None is not processing sharpen.
Of course not. You have to select subject detection to All if you want it to sharpen the entire image. Or chose another mode and then use a brush to add or remove. For example, I selected Portrait here but it also included other elements that I donāt want sharpened:
But in the previous versions you didnāt have to do that. If āPreferences > Subject Detection set to Noneā then sharpening by default was applied to the whole image
Thank you people; that solves the problem. It has to be the most ridiculous setting there is. You choose to sharpen an image and there is a setting which sharpens nothing? And then, to compound the felony, itās made the default? Come on Topaz!
Go to Settings and change the Default Subject Type to what you want it to be.
None is not a ridiculous setting. It gives you blank canvas on which you can use the brush to define what you want to be sharpened. For example, say I only wanted the sharpen the hat in this image:
Unfortunately, that only makes sense if āAllā was one of the default settings. It isnāt.
I am having the same issue with no sharpening. Thought it was just me. Just downloaded it today. Tried rebooting the computer, a Mac, and re-downloading the program. Nothing worked.
In the sharpen enhancement, go to the āSelectionā tab and set the āAuto Maskā to āAllā. Unfortunately, you have to do this every time because you canāt set āAllā as the default. Mine was set to āNoneā which now means āno sharpeningā whereas it used to mean āno selectionā (i.e. sharpen everything). Unfortunately, this wasnāt caught during testing.
same problem here - M1 with Sonoma
ok, pls fix this - AutoMask set to All does the job, thanks
This is a ānewā feature. Previous versions didnāt work this way.
I tried this, and it still didnāt work. I can do the sharpening and sharpen AI, but not Photo AI. All the rest of the components work.
The changing the selection to āallā did work, but it;s not possible to see the changes on the peview because the mask covers all of it.
