Starlight - Quickly changing detail gets 'diffused' out...like slate timecode...oops

Starlight is processing-out quickly changing details–maybe this is on purpose.
At any rate, if you have a slate running timecode in your input video, forget about being able to see each number change no matter how big it is. I know, the amazing improvement in quality always has tradeoffs…
Just something to consider if Topaz is looking to drive some useful improvements. Perhaps train the model on what a timecode slate is supposed to look like, if possible?

Thanks for the feedback!

I find it even more disturbing/distracting what Starlight generally does to text/logos.

With those issues the model really is unusable as this affects also about every signs or clothing with text and/or brand logos.

So we definitely need a recover text option in Starlight as we have in TPAI and TPGP.
