Topaz Photo AI v1.4 crashes while denoising image

Have just upgraded to v 1.4. Tried adding the first picture for processing (jpeg format from Nikon Z5) . Application crashes unexpectedly while processing the image. It looks as it’s when denoising the picture. I didn’t have this issue before the upgrade. I have an NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2060 graphics card in my laptop running Windows 11.

Hi Lingyu

Thank you for reaching out. Two logfiles uploaded to DropBox. It’s the two only logfiles from Today.

Best regards

Please update to v1.4.2 and let me know if this crash is still happening. It looks like an error with the Remove Noise model, we made a change to it since v1.4.0.

Please visit this page, select your operating system (Windows) and click “Find Your System Profile”. Send me the system profile so I can check your system specs. We can try updating your graphics driver as well.

Hi Lingyu

I have updated to 1.4.2. The picture that I tested last got processed, but trying another (noisy) picture resulted in a new crash. Then I tried a picture that I successively processed before upgrading to 1.4 and that crashed also.

Please find my system profile attached

It looks like your graphics driver is from 2020. Let’s update it.

Download and run the below installer which is a 2023 NVIDIA Studio driver. When installing, select Custom Installation > Clean Install. Then reboot your computer after the driver installs.

Let me know if it still crashes after doing this.

Hi Lingyu

Driver update did the trick. I can now process both the pictures that crashed before.

Afterwards I updated to the new version 1.4.3 and it stills work :blush:

Thank you for your assistance. Highly appreciated.

Best regards

Martin
