Right away, I see a pretty big issue with the user interface.
Basically, everything that Photo AI 3.1.0 is putting on my screen, it appears to be putting about 22 pixels too low.
The title bar is showing for the application that is behind Photo AI, where the title bar for Photo AI itself should be. The bottom of Photo AI’s window is hiding behind the menu bar.
Mouse movements and clicks register 22 pixels higher higher on elements in Photo AI’s window, than where those elements are actually shown. If I click where the Minimize, Normal/Maximize, and Close icons are shown on the title bar for the other application, they register on the corresponding icons for Photo AI.
There appear to be other issues, as well; but I’ll figure them out later. Most prominently, it seems that where previous versions were automatically applied certain defaults that I had set in the preferences, this version looks like it intends to make me take extra actions to apply those defaults. They now show as suggestions in the lower corner, requiring me to click to apply them.
I’m feeling a bit sour, right now, because Topaz made me pay $99 to renew my license in order to use this new version, and it appears that you’ve screwed it up. When you’re at the point of an update being so major that people who were using previous updates now have to pay again to use the latest don’t you think you really ought to make sure it works, first?
