Topaz Photo AI v2.1.0

Not everbody, unlike you, is obsessed with removal of clothing of teenagers, so it seems you have an impulse problem and want to restrict development just to restrain your own actions. A lot of people would need the removal option for minor fixes, there are much better options like Stable Diffusion if somebody wants to do engage in NSFW work.

This is not instagram.

And also, since Photoshop came out we can do with images whatever we want, we just dont want to whait that much anymore.

There is a minor BUG when zooming with the mouse on the preview… I try to stick to the top of the image (a bird) but the selection goes down… cannot keep the desired focus part.
And it was well working before installing the update 2.1.0.
Thanks

The one with Stable diffusion did a really nice job. The best so far.

Or, for when you are a creative (not just a documentarian or photojournalist) and make fine art photography composites - in which you combine multiple images (your own and/or stock) to build a story - and require tools to help you develop & execute your vision and/or make a profit by being able to do so more efficiently…

@ fotomaker If you want to watch the performance of your GPU or CPU you can use the task manager. Just move the sides in to make it smaller and click on the desired items. Shown is for GPU. If you want it to stay on top, click the gear icon on the lower left side and choose Always on Top.

Thx! Good to know. I’ll chk it out. I never would have just figured that out.

If I make a vid with OBS to show some perf bhvr, I’d like to include that if it helps the devs.

Take care.

I’ve requested old model usage/model selection, please vote:

I’m getting that warning on a medium res. Image, just trying to remove a small part. Did not crash but did not remove the object, just mangled it a bit.

Very hit and miss this. It is also painfully slow, even when removing very small areas, say under 1% of the image, femoval area size does not seem to affect the process time.

Does it only work on low res. images?

Nope. It does work here on 6000x4000 px images from my Sony Alpha.

I guess you might have too few GPU RAM?

It is doing the processing but not removing the objects on larger files. What has that got to do with Ram?

It worked on a 20mp image but not on a larger image. Will it work on a 150mp image?

What about long exposures, they can be noisy, even at 100 ISO.

But I agree PAI is too unpredictable and is worse than using DeNoise and Sharpen AI.

Trying to do too many things.

Need to go back to the basics.

Twice now, TPAI 2.1.0 has crashed on my machine when using the Remove tool. Both times, I was upsizing a 40-file batch of downloaded jpegs and pngs.

This is on a Mac Studio M2 Ultra running Sonoma 14.0.

Otherwise, I am ecstatic about the recent updates. My files are looking great.

Then, with what I am proposing, you can set auto to start at 100 ISO or set it manually.

May not be relevant but Sonoma 14.1 has been out, probably best to update for other reasons ;-).

.0 OS’s are rough.

For now the minimum recommended GPU memory is 8GB, and that’s what I have. When it crashed to desktop trying to start a Remove process it was not using more than about 4 GB, so this may not be just a simple memory overflow issue.

Can’t finish the download. Keeps freezing and starting over.

Win 11 Pro. Ps 2024 Plugin (File > Automate).

.CR2 original image (opened via ACR into Ps 2024). Minor hilite, wht, shadow, dark adjustments in ACR.

Converted full color image to BW (BW adjustment layer) in Ps (no add’l saturation, etc.).

Opened into PAI Ps Plugin (File > Automate). Did light Sharpen (new Std model - light denoise inside that panel) + used Remove to get rid of telephone poles in scene (sorta takes away from the ghost town gestalt … and I’m not doing photojournalism).

PAI Removed the objects I masked. Didn’t alter the BW mono finish of the image. Saved back to Ps layer okay (after a prior crash/force close for no obvious reason - I may have set upsize to 1.1 and it’s not an obscenely large file). No color shifts to the mono image in the saved back output either (that I see).

Were proper details generated though? I’ve now tested this too, and all the results I got were over-smoothed and blurry, similar to a nude clothing mannequin (in fact I’ve seen mannequins in real life with more detail). I would have only called them nsfw on a technicality.

Decided to try a Graphics Enhance test image. I don’t usually work with graphics (and not sure if it only applies to flat color block style illustrations). But figured I’d give it a go.

Started with a photo of mine (.CR2) from Bodie. Orig. snip below. Followed by the PAI processed vers. Filenames delineate.

Used that photo in Ps 2024 with a prompt to Firefly to treat it like a gouache painting.

Took that result into PAI (Ps Plugin Filters menu) and worked only in the Enhance (1x) ā€˜Graphics’ model. It definitely sharpened the image and brought out more of the textural aspects of a gouache painting. White line is the Split View delineator, not something weird that happened to the image in PAI…
