I use PAI in extend monitor mode.
Every time when I open the PAI, it always open at 2/3 the size of the screen. I stretch it to the whole screen. I close it, then open and it’s always at 2/3 the size of the screen. Anyway for it to make it remember the size?
Hi every body!
There is anybody suffering batch limit to 10 pictures when run from LrC?
There is any work around?
I’m running from a Mackbook Air M1.
Before the update I was able to load more than 100 pictures to the batch.
The product has become unstable since the latest update. When I try to adjust the sliders away from the automated settings, the program becomes unresponsive for seconds at a time and may require closing using task manager. All previous versions/updates worked without this issue. This is within PSP2023 Ultimate. Either this is a bug or the update program did not install properly.
This is on a Windows 10 boot drive with 8 gig of video ram and 32 GB of ram on a six core intel processor.
Agreed - Hifi v2 is giving me some amazing results
Since updating to the latest version of Photo AI I’ve had issues with autopilot and previews loading extremely slowly. Oddly this doesn’t seem to affect final processing, so I’m not sure what exactly is wrong. I tried re-installing the application and am still having the same issue. I’m on an M1 Max Macbook Pro if that helps shed any light on the issue.
Hi
Just updated to v2.3.0. Did my first import from Lightroom classic plug-in manager (v13.1, raw 16.1). In the preview window in Topaz, the image is completely blown out. The processed image is blown out. I uploaded a screenshot of the raw in LR and the processed photo in Topaz. There were no modifications in the RAW image except for cropping.
I thought I use to be able to use my scroll wheel on Mac side to zoom in or out.
I find the next step super difficult.
The result is super good and when comparing scaled-down files that were then scaled up again, I only notice that the surface area and geometry still need to be optimized.
“Flattening of surface content, the surface becomes flat because there are no differences that would determine the direction of light.”
That affects the whole picture.
Sometimes the 2x reduced and then enlarged image looks better than the original.
From time to time there are deletions although the pixels would be there.
It may be that some things do not appear often enough in the training data.
However, this type of evaluation is already crazy pixel peeping.
The two new models already fall into the “incredible” category.
Because some things are barely visible in the reduced image, but the model was able to restore them.
The people who created this are true geniuses.
If denoise can catch up (in terms of quality and editability of the output (RAW) and remove is optimized, this is going to be some pretty sick software.
If you compare the input with the original, it should work correctly.
Update:
I did simulate it.
Is what you’re calling 'flattening" what others are calling smears or blurs or smoothing?
That’s interesting. So at least on that test, the AI is optimized for (& targeted to helping?) small, low res images vs subtly taking a higher res, larger image up a perceptual (or, actual) clarity step.
Hi-Fi v2 is so good - I got that ‘wow’ factor again! Really amazing.
Well done, Topaz team!

Something that needs to be looked into:
One issue I do notice is that when batch processing large amounts of files (100s to 1000+ images), the application becomes unresponsive for a long time after processing has completed. It looks like the process of writing the log file is causing this.
Can an option for disabling logging please be added as per Video AI? I’m sure it would result in a significant performance increase.
In the IT world, we don’t like excessive logging - it can result in issues like these - bogging down crucial operations.
I think logging should only be turned on when troubleshooting an issue - not by default - but give us the option to disable it at least please.
Edit: looks like this was already requested way back in July 2022 - @yazi.saradest +Topaz team, this needs to be added ASAP:
Thanks
Its connected yes.
Yes
I’m having issues with Topaz Photo AI plug-in on Lightroom. The maximum photos Topaz Photo AI plug-in adds is 10 if I select more than 10 photos. As of now, the only way I can process the photos on Topaz Photo AI if there are more than 10 photos is to add the RAW files directly and not through Lightroom.
I don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this, but it seems to me that the Auto settings have gone overboard in the area of sharpening in this release (maybe even the previous one). Whereas before, I could use Auto and often make minor tweaks, I find myself pulling way back on the Sharpening recommendations now.
Sadly Me too! The remove-tool it seems like it’s working but when it reaches the end the program crashes and jump directly back to Windows.
Didnt have any problems before in 2.2.2
Yes, exactly this! I have to resort to forced quit of the application.
My license expired 9 updates ago how do you test the new models without buying a license renew?
You should be able to try the product for free just like any new potential customer.
The Product page on the Topaz site offers a “Try for Free” option and a 30-day unconditional money back option (if you purchase). Personally, I’d suggest the try for free to see how it works on your system. Then when you’re impressed, buy. Or, not.
So you are installing the program twice
Life is tough sometimes…
