I agree with others who say they want to override some Autopilot settings without leaving Autopilot.
I update my earlier report about graphics glitches in macOS Ventura b3 and PAI 0.3 on M1, itâs still there (Enhance>Natural only). Ventura is coming, letâs see if we can figure this out before too long:
Fun fact: The new version installed much faster on the M1 over wi-fi than it did on an Intel laptop over ethernet.
Otherwise so far, the app is shaping up nicely! I was worried at the very beginning but the devs have a plan⊠Nice features and functionality being added.
More tests:
Greyscale image opened fine but faces not recognized:
On Mac, Command-W closes the image successfully but does not warn about unsaved edits.
Canon CR2 RAW file open fine. Adjustments are good, BUT basic enhancement options are missing (even Levels alone would be helpful).
All of these flagship Topaz enhancements are great but why is basic stuff missing? This forces the user over to another app to finish up. Grab some stuff from Topaz Studio, which works in Ventura, yes!
omg thatâs a installation process. is this for a photo software or for a rocket scientists nuclear reactor management? I think thatâs the most time consuming installation process I have ever seen. Even on my 100 mbit line.
I get a few strange lines both in the preview and in the final image. Is that some sort of a watermark or is it working as intended? Overall I think the sharpening is too strong even on the lowest possible setting!
I was just able to open & process a couple Canon .CR2 images & save one out as a .tiff to a location of my choice on my Win 11 PC (see snips attached):
** I chose the option to save as a .tiff (there are other options listed also). You cannot choose the option to âPreserve Input Formatâ if starting with a Raw b/c itâs not possible to save as a Raw image.
What is the system youâre using? OS, processor, etc.
Hi Yazi, I think that in its simplest form, as you have here, Autopilot is functional and intuitive. Also, the âauto(pilot)â detections are getting better.
I would also suggest that preserve image format is inappropriate for RAW images because the options for ColorSpace shouldnât default to the camera format which will only be sRGB or AdobeRGB.
There seems to be a problem as you will see in the screen shots, When I open a NEF file from Nikon Z9 after it does itâs auto the image goes white. And on the TIFF file it doesnât look good.
When using my Cr3 files from my Canon EOS R5 these two problems are fixed:the color reproduction is correct. Portrait photos are displayed correctly upright:
The problem with the white preview image when using NVIDIA GPU still exists! As soon as I turn on âRemove RAW Noiseâ, whether with automatic setting or manually set to 0, 100 and any other arbitrary value, whether other functions are turned on or not, everything is completely white in the preview as well as in the saved photo. (In the split screen, of course, only in the preview area. As you move the split screen slider, the white area moves with it.) See screenshot 2:
Hi, do you experience the white preview problem like me only when using the GPU? If so, what graphics card and operating system are you using? What happens when you work with CPU?
Bad processing of RAW files and other difficulties
I try to process a RAW file . The AutoPilot tell me Dn 80 Sh 42 but the result is poor still a lot of noise when . so I demosaic this RAW with DXO PL with Denoising OFF and exported a TIFF file . And this this file process with PAI is giving a much better result compared to the RAW processing Autopilot give tell me Dn80 sh 15
Here the comparison Left the RAW process Right the Tiff process
Other troubles Pretty sure two times the save process overwrite my original file
Also while loading (drag and drop ) successively RAW and TIFF I got trouble in the interface Autopilot not working No filters Activ . finally Black Screen . Trouble with the display inside PAI even the print screen not working correctly closing and reopening PAI change nothing I had to reboot the PC Windows for PAI to work again
On this print screen you can also see some aberations given by Autopilot with this Tiff file (Enhance Dn0 SH0 ??)
I have odd behaviour with JPG, now denoise doesnât work no matter of model or strength and even removes effects of active sharpen and enhance (on a preview at least, didnât try to save a picture)
Using an old Nikon NEF file from a friend causes a âweirdâ error when Denoiase and Face Recovery are enabled. The Preview is not simply white but the detected Face is shown.
