Topaz Photo AI - Awful sharpening and upscale results

[lodari.mario]

When opening a RAW photo from Lightroom Classic via the Photo AI extra plug-in:

• the color shown in Photo AI are completely different from Lightroom
• the sharpen tool works awfully, rendering very poor results
• the upscale tool works awfully, rendering very poor results

Using the Modify in Topaz Photo AI command instead seems to work correctly…
It is a strong limitation.

Hi,

may I ask what camera you are using? I’m having the same issues regarding the colors (not with the sarpening though) and since two other users had the same problem using the same camera, I’m wondering if it might somehow be camera related.
