To me, the tiling is not a problem, since i always combine more than 2 images to a single one when the images where processed by AI.
When it comes to energy, AI is a disaster, but i dont know if its less energy waste if you get a new camera every 4 to 6 years.
When the details are ok, the tiling is ok.
To me.
I also had the impression that it is important to use good lenses when using Wonder 2, so camera technology is still important.
I still have more tests to do.
THANKS Johannes - It worked perfectly once I spotted the almost invisible X.
Anyone else getting a processing failed error with Wonder 2? Seems to have started last night for me, but everything I’ve sent has sat in the queue for a few minutes before giving me the error. Tried processing with Wonder 1 and it seems to be fine though.
At first I only had time to preview the results, not render them, as I was in the middle of a project for a client.
I was impressed with the results I saw in the preview.
However now, even after a restart of my Mac, it crashes within a few moments of launching the app, so I cannot test it any more.
Has anyone else seen persistent crashing?
Finally got it to run again and was able to test out the new Wonder model.
Overall it looks good, but the results lose a lot of texture. For instance skin looked like a hybrid between illustration and photo. Product shots look good, but again lacking the fine texture needed for really good realistic results.
It would be nice to have some settings we could adjust to dial in the look we’re after. Or some option for adding texture etc.
Can you test again? There might have been higher traffic on the servers, and that could cause issues. If it is still not working, contact us at help@topazlabs.com so we can troubleshoot and get the image to test 
I found that sometimes using Redefine Realistic can create that texture you want, and then you can blend with the original.
Version 1.1.0 is out now, please share any issues or your results in the new thread instead. Closing this one
