Topaz Photo AI v. 1.4.3 Destroys Image!

[frank.hesketh]

Using Topaz Photo AI v 1.4.3 for Mac the app added a patchy spot of awfulness to the steam cloud in the image.

Steps to reproduce issue:

1. in Lightroom Classic (release 12.5) with original image open go to File/Plug-In Extras/Process with Topaz Photo AI
2. Choose remove noise (does not matter whether a subject is chosen or not as long as the steam cloud is part of the noise removal selection)
3. Look at what it has done
   
   

How do I fix this? This is absolutely unacceptable.

This seldomly occurs with the remove noise function - but I found out that it doesn’t happen with the Extreme model.
So you might want to try that.

So, is this a known issue that will be resolved for current owners of last year’s updates?

I would rather not be forced to use Extreme model.
