Topaz Photo AI v2.0.0

My experience migrating Topaz plug-ins:

On the Mac I just dragged the items from the 2023 Plugins folder over to the 2024 one:

Photoshop 2024:

Both Gigapixel and PAI show up in File>Automate.

Invoking PAI only gets me this layer and nothing else (no GUI, etc.):

Accessing Gigapixel gets me its own layer plus the GP interface as expected and works properly.

Filter>Topaz Labs only shows PAI but opens PAI as expected. No GP to be seen.

Photoshop beta (25.1):

File>Automate shows both GP and PAI (same setup as 2024 Plugins folder). GP launches but will not finish processing the preview and takes a long time to cancel. PAI creates its layer but nothing else happens.

Filter>Topaz Labs only shows PAI but opens PAI as expected. No GP to be seen.

Is there no longer a common plugins folder as many ops are complaining that Photo AI doesn’t install in PS 2024 … but I noticed that they updated PS just in the last day or so …

If the folders have changed they have done a disservice to plugin providers that mean you either have to point at Topaz as a plugin folder or reinstall Photo AI or drag the plugins over to the new folder.

Thanks! :pray:

That helps to know what it did & how you handled it.

I don’t want to lose any filters (etc); including current or no longer developed past ones from Topaz (it was bad enough I permanently lost 4 fave older Topaz filters in the migration to Win 11).

I’m going to ask in the Adobe community before I update Ps…

As for testing a reinstall I suppose we will be getting that opportunity later today…

My system is WIN10 with PS 25 (2024) and plugins including PAI work fine. Yes there is a common plugin folder

I can’t see from your setting, but did you have Select Subject enabled? Perhaps that’s the problem. I have similar pictures of birds, rabbits, and squirrels that inhabit my yard, and I’ve yet to experience your results. Or, perhaps, it’s unique voodoo to Version 2.0.

Yes, I’ve been playing with the Photoshop Beta for a while and have found that the new Neural filters work great in concert with Photo AI. Here’s a sample of a restoration I did with a couple of Generative Fills: Topaz Photo AI v2.0.0 - #178 by windspear

Yes the reinstall works fine, another user in another thread reported it.
