Topaz Photo AI v2.1.0

That usually happened on CPU. We will work on that and provide some lighting model for those simple scenarios.

Until version 2.0.2 i had no any issues and everything used to work perfect on my system :frowning:
Win10 , RTX 4060Ti , i7-2700k
I became to have issues with ā€œAdjusting lightingā€ after version 2.0.2 but all the rest still worked fine.
So i stick with this version . Recently i upgraded my 3060 with RTX 4060Ti . After this when i start Photo AI it didnt use (load) the GPU anymore but just the CPU and everything worked very very slow but still stable . From preferences i was tried to change ā€œAi Processorā€ to GPU 4060Ti but no any change . So i decided to upgrade to version 2.0.7 . Now when i start the program in the first moment everything works fine and very fast - the GPU is used again . But after few seconds if i change preview during upscale or try to save image - the program self closes without any error message …
I tried to roll back version 2.0.2 wich i used previously without any issues and there is exactly same problem with self close during the process … My GPU drivers are updated to the last version .
Now tried version 2.1.0 and the same issue still presists !

Can someone try to investigate this problem ? Maybe other people with older CPUs can share their experience and if they have similar issue ?

I dont know if this is normal - Topaz detected 2 devices (two 4060Ti GPUs) but i have just one …
But even i try to select one of them manual from Topaz settings it doesnt help …

My preferences are set to Nvidia GeForce RTX2060. Should I have it set otherwise?

BTW,


I usually use the app do this.

Could you send the log?

I just put them in the Dropbox listed at the top of this thread. Thanks.

First try - Guess this pattern got a bit too complicated:

Hi - can you please send us the image?

It seems the app didn’t use your GPU. That’s why it is slow.

Okay, thanks for the reply. Is there something I need to do on my end or is that something you can fix?

On the screen shot it does well.


You can restore the mask and try different padding settings.

Yeah, that looked a lot better.

Anyway - I just uploaded the original before I saw your message… I will obviously keep on tinkering.

But wait - Silly question maybe (because it’s not clear to me by your screenshot - the before/after seems swapped) and feel free to laugh if you want, but is your restore from the hair or from the previously poorly restored pattern?

Looks like a licensing issue.

From your log:

[2023-11-03 17:20:58.961, 566.60 ms] [2fdc] Info | Auth state changed: LoggedOut

And the application is also being blocked from using the network, why would that be?

[2023-11-03 17:21:06.925,  40.70 ms] [2fdc] Warn | Network error. Status Code: QNetworkReply::UnknownNetworkError (0) Error: Permission denied Body: 

So I went for max quality (over speed) and also switched padding to Max and got something better:

Doesn’t hold if you zoom in though… It kind of tries to do it, but doesn’t get there all the way with recreating the pattern.

I did try to mask a bit ā€œoutsideā€ of what I wanted to remove, but that did nothing good.
I’ll just let @yazi.saradest tinker with the one I uploaded.

We have been informed about this first version of Remove: Generative Remove with Local Processing (November 2023)

The ā€œclaimed secondsā€ are real. Since the GPU power of my Mac is considerably lower than a RTX4090 I do believe this is likely due to the massive amount of GPU RAM I have here (48GB).
Or maybe for once the software is better optimized for AppleSilicon than for Nvidia - or both.

Anyways, here is a real time screen recording showing the speed I have here with the tool:
RemoveTool.mp4.zip (3.2 MB)
Really nothing to complain about regarding speed. Although the result was quite hilarious.

Hello from the French Alps!
I am often happy with updates but I must say that the last one, with the new ā€œremoveā€ function, is absolutely stunning and I am sure that it will be of great benefit to everyone.
Thank you, the awesome Topaz team.

I dont know i just used the latest free trial version .

That’s a simple fix. You left the ā€˜convert to submarine’ toggle on. You want to uncheck that.
