Any word on if Topaz will speed up Super Focus in the next update? It is still labeled a Beta feature in 3.3.2/3.3.3, but when it first came out in 3.3.0 about 2 months ago on 2024/10/18 Topaz said they would improve the performance. Below is what Topaz wrote. Here is the Photo AI 3.3.0 info:

Speed Considerations and Optimization Tips
We want to be transparent about the current state of the Super Focus model: it’s incredibly powerful, but that power comes at the cost of processing speed. Rest assured, we’re actively working on optimizing the model to improve its performance.
In the meantime, here are some tips to help you get the most out of Super Focus while managing processing times:
1. Start with small preview sizes: To get a quick idea of how the final render will look, begin with smaller preview sizes. This allows you to experiment with settings more rapidly before committing to a full-resolution render.
2. Utilize Focus Boost as needed: This resizes the image which decreases the image size when processed with Super Focus and decrease time needed to process.
3. Be patient with full-resolution renders: When you’re ready for the final output, be prepared for longer processing times, especially with larger images. The results are worth the wait, but you might want to save these full renders for when you have some time to spare.
We’re committed to continuously improving Super Focus, and future updates will focus on enhancing both its quality and speed. Your feedback and patience as we refine this groundbreaking technology are greatly appreciated.
