There’s yet another important update to Photo AI which improves stability, performance, and issues with our popular Photoshop and Light Room Classic integrations.
In the prior release of 3.0.1 we improved memory usage problems which some users encountered with large batches of images, and in this release we have further improved results. You should now be able to process much larger batches of RAW images without degradations in performance.
Our plugin integration with Lightroom Classic and Photoshop automation have also received some important fixes. You can now export DNGs from Lightroom Classic again as long as the “Adjust Lighting” or “Balance Color” filters are not applied in the stack. With Photoshop automations, we also fixed an issue where file changes were not being saved on some devices.
Photo AI is getting better every day, and we won’t stop here.
There’s other important changes and optimizations under the hood in this release, such as window snapping for Windows devices.
A full change log is listed below.
Please give us any feedback or report issues with this release. We’ll be updating TPAI regularly to address those pieces of feedback and issue reports.
So, improved but still not completely fixed - still not freeing up all the memory it is using.
To the devs: please keep working on this so we can get back to the 2.3.2 performance level where all memory used was being freed up/released after each image was processed.
However, if sending an existing DNG file to Topaz via plug-in extras, the return output appears to be overwriting the original file, not saving as a new file for import into LrC. Presumably that isn’t the intention?
Hey David, there is indeed still work to be done - but you should no longer see performance degradations on high batch sizes and the issue should be vastly improved across the board. Getting there.
The select brush used to refine the subject for sharpening has been slow to the point of being useless since version 2.4.x (I noticed it in 2.4.2 but I didn’t check all versions). I’ve gone back to version 2.3.2 where it was working. This problem has been reported elsewhere in the forum.
Hey miguel, there are some known color shifting issues with the Nikon Z8. Are you referring to those or something else related to the updates mentioned in 3.0.2?
Bug: when I minimize then restore the application window, instead of going back to the previous window state (maximized) it goes to some weird 2/3 sizing:
