Hello, as of v1.1.0 I have lost GPU acceleration on my 1080Ti when using Sharpening with Lens Blur / Motion Blur models. Standard Sharpening model is GPU accelerated, but Lens Blur / Motion Blur will fall back to the CPU although it’s a lot slower (even if it’s a 5950x). Processor is specifically set to GPU, I have tried on Auto as well. vRAM is not used up, 6-7GB free when starting Topaz.
Any chance for a fix please? I constantly use sharpen on Motion Blur and it’s a big slowdown.
On the other hand, the standard model has improved considerably in a short time.
Results:
Auto: CPU in peak up to almost 100%, GPU in peak up to 50%, time 15.1 sec.
CPU: CPU in peak up to 70%, GPU in peak up to 40%, time 31 seconds
M1Max: CPU and GPU similar to setting “CPU”, time 31 seconds
Conclusion:
The “Auto” setting leads to the fastest processing and highest utilization of CPU and GPU.
And here I dragged an image directly onto the TPAI icon and opened the application with it. CPU usage: 0%. Duration, until I could use the TPAI about 3 seconds!!!
Conclusion:
Please Topaz engineers, there is something wrong with the code. TPAI as stand-alone application needs 25 seconds until I can open an image at all. Also, the idle CPU usage is way too high. Please correct this in the next update.
I see many others are reporting here the same issues as me… I just got an email from them.
Their solution is to not use the update and roll back to a previous version.
Problem: Doesn’t work.
Topaz solution: Don’t use it!
Got it.
This is one of those cases of “you had one job…”, Photo AI is a very specialised tool and everything is malfunctioning! The slider is wrong, program keeps crashing, eye colour is wrong, denoise is on despite having it off, faces are warped, awful artifacts are introduced, sharpen does nothing…
Imagine having paid for Photoshop, but only half of the tools work and it will randomly work, randomly not work. That’s what this is. Amazing potential results, but this is unacceptable.
I have a M1 MBP and I can only get 1.0.7 to work on my computer. Also, RAM and storage are NOT an issue. I have tried updating to 1.0.8-1.1 and anything above 1.0.7, it will not work. I have tried deleting the plist as they suggested. I have tried allowing full disc access. I have rebooted. It is bad, it just freezes. I guess I am stuck using 1.0.7.
I see others have reported it as well. Wanted to confirm I also see the strange placement of face detection boxes on the preview. The top-right navigation view shows the correct position. Face recovery seems to work, so it’s just showing wrong coordinates on preview.
Support advises you to roll back as a stopgap solution so you stop experiencing crashes ASAP. I assure you we’re always working hard to fix bugs, prioritizing crashes, that get reported.
Same deal here- face box is off in left field. AI has to be difficult to debug. My processing times vary a lot. Sometimes I think the latest versions are slower, other times faster. Still looking for an official answer about what the subject mask does and doesn’t affect.
