There is a reply further down, see this link.
Whoa! So far, so impressed. Itās like back in the day, when a Topaz release never failed to amaze. Yeah, I gotta bail now and then and go solo with DeNoise, or Sharpen or Gigapixel, but they always have a steady product update regime, and thatās fun, too. Good job, Topaz Labs!
Are your graphics drivers up to date? Maybe change processor settings.
My CPU does not support AVX2 (Xeon E5-2680 v1) so I get a āError Loading Model Filesā even though I am using a RTX 3080 Ti as the AI processor.
I hope they will not come up with mandatory AVX2 support in the other applications anytime soonā¦
With a high-es image, Photo AI and GAI can do wonders with faces without appearing to resort to trickery. Without the necessary data, it must resort to what I call āMr. Potato Headāā¦
I wonder whether some line must be drawn at some point where the software should not even attempt recovery if thatās going to happen.

It does not seem to work correctly. When I try to operate it, it falls down.
I guess I should wait for an upgradeā¦

You should raise a support request at the main website as that is a memory access crash. Make sure you provide the environment that you are operating including the OS. The basic technical requirements are listed on this forum and you should remember Beta OSs are not supported.
Thatās an interesting suggestion.
Now, the program says something like ālow res face recoveredā. Sounds like youād like PAI to add a gentle letdown msg from the Autopilot that says, āSorry, but face(s) are unrecoverableā as another option. (With or without the disclaimer - āUnless youād like a Mr/Ms Potato Headā ā¦).
Iām just back from SF, so will check it out, Anthony. Thx for the pointer.
But I could have sworn Adobe RGB, LZW, 16-bit was a Save option in the Standalone versions of the individual products ā¦ because I used it. I hope I didnāt imagine it. Iāll view what you suggested to figure out if the integrated offering creates a different context!
Iāll also have to see if - when using the PAI Ps 2022 Plugin - & Iām working with a 16-bit image whether the plugin returns an 8-bit to the Ps layer. If so Iād have to adjust before other processing or saving.
Will a 16-bit ZIP option be added? 
Take care! Have a great weekend.
I had the issue of problems maximizing on a high-resolution monitor, but found a temporary fix (until Topaz sort it out) was just to go into the Windows Display Settings and make the higher resolution display the Main Display. (It looks like the program only looks at the resolution of the primary display, not the display on which the application is actually shown.)
Iāve been hoping to see Denoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel integrated into a single application for ages, so thank you!
Like many others, I need manual editing of subject selection for this to be useable (mainly to properly prevent artifacts from sharpening bits of background). And for me, upscaling without cropping just slows down processing and creates massive files. In fact, I end up cropping most my shots, as I mainly photograph birds, so cropping even without upscaling would be a huge benefit.
Providing this very high level of automation will be a great time-saver, but I really need the option of diving down to the same level of control the other programs have allowed me.

I note the first point under āRequirementsā is:
āTopaz Photo AI requires an internet connection for user authenticationā
Does this mean I wonāt be able to use it on my laptop when travelling without an internet connection?

I strongly feel that two more buttons of āAddā and āSubtractā should be given along with the current refine options for it will give more accuracy and flexibility in the final output.
I canāt log in when I start Photo AI. Anyone else with the same problem?
Thatās whatās happening on my PC as well. It starts opening a picture file, it applies all those steps of identifying what is necessary and suddenly it just quits before displaying anything. Both in a standalone and a plug-in mode. Had it working once after a clean install of WIN 11 but then with next version of PAI it goes back to the same issue.
Here is Denoise AI 3.6.2 about 5 minutes ago.

A feature request - for quick edits, sometimes Photo AI might be all a photos needs. With that in mind, iād like to request a feature: At time of export, to be able to down scale a photo to a user selectable size. (and ideally remember my favorite image sizes)
Thanks
What is that folder for? The same thing happens to me. In drive F:\ it creates the folder CONeā¦ If I delete it it creates it again.
I deleted it and created a shortcut to āTopaz Photo AI.exeā instead of the one created by the program, and it no longer creates the folder COne and the program works perfectly.
By the way, font sizes are ridiculously small. I see less than a plaster cat.
Hi,
We need the manaul masking tool brush with opacity etc back. Itās an essential tool that no automated masking can replace.
Also, Iād like an improvement about hairs, hairs are always too much sharpened
Also deblured teeth are often a problem, with gray stripes generated onto them (at least now with face refine you can get them ok);
Finally whenever thereās several faces the face refinbe feature should be settable per face OR make sure the opacity masking also work on faces
