Improved Color Accuracy for OM System cameras
We are excited to introduce camera profiles for the very popular OM-1, OM-5, and OM-1 Mark II Raw files! The saturation is significantly improved and now matches the preview youād see in camera or other photo editing applications.
Thx @Ange.topazlabs for the heads-up to the patch in the prior release discussion forum. A number of us were looking not for batch processing but to see if the Text Preserve repeating suggestion would be addressed.
Question: The Pref for āPreserve Textā is set to āStrongā by default. Is that the best level recommended for the model vs dialing it back to āNormalā? I have different models set to different levels (for instance I typically set DeNoise to Less), so am curious.
The default should be Normal for Preserve Text, I tested on my side, Win 11, and reverting to default the Preferences is set to Normal, not Strong. Let me know if you get a different behavior!
I wonāt Reset to Defaults just b/c I donāt want to go through and reset all my ātweaksāā¦
But I will change the setting to āNormalā for Text Preserve just b/c it sounds more like it wonāt go nuts and create halos or anything too creative.
No go on supporting the A1 ii at the raw level yet? I know I can convert to dng and use, but would like to eventually do as I used to. Still the Error: DNG write error.
On the development teamās radar for the near future will keep you updated, added this thread on the development team ticket working on its support! DNG will work yes in the meantime!
On macOS Sequoia 15.2, the app consistently crashes immediately after launch. No error messages or indications are provided. This issue also occurred with version 3.4.3.
Just tried an image with lots of text in it. Iām not seeing multiple suggestions at lower right for Text Preserve like I was in the prior release. Seems okay.
@rusu.gaby - This is being looked into for a permanent fix, happening on some OS 15, in the meantime, delete your CoreML folder and it will fix this issue, steps here:
@Tostanica-fezanamu - I cannot replicate this with a JPEG on v3.4.4 on our side. I tested it and there is no color shift, nor was there any color shifts in the prior versions. Can you send me the file to support@topazlabs.com and we can test it?
Hi, I just tried a screen snip of your original image to see what happens on my system. Granted, Iām Win 11 and looks like you are a Macā¦
I used the current rel. PAI both as a standalone (and as plugin to Ps 2025) and did a āNormalā DeNoise only (using Split View).
In both versions (standalone and plugin) the colors didnāt change from the original to the denoised result. Iāll include a snip from the standalone in split view (right side is processed, left is not) below.
PAI removed noise with the DeNoise (Normal) slider at a relatively low level. Though the jaggies in the image werenāt addressed. Is it a very low res image? It didnāt help that I was working with a snip too. But the snip seemed to retain the vibrance of the Before image you posted when I snipped it.
I just tried it again on the same photo and this time there is no color shift. As you can clearly see in my screenshots above though there was in that earlier run.
Why would PAI be so inconsistent? Will a run later today go back to color shift?
I didnāt mention in the earlier post the other weird thing. It recommended Preserve text. Huh?
Yeah, there was a clear color difference in your post above. No doubt!
Often Iāve found that I have quirky things happen if I install an update then immediately start processing images. So, Iāve gotten in the habit of doing a computer restart after running an update - to let the program settle in and acclimate itself to its new homeā¦ Typically, I donāt get one off behaviors when I do that. (Knock on wood).
As for the Text Preserve suggestion, you just didnāt realize how smart PAI is. It sees the hieroglyphics that could represent ancient cuneiform text in the shapes the straw forms.
Iām a user. Not staff. So just sharing my experiences.
Seems okay.
I am not sure if this is new to 3.4.4 or it has been around for awhile.
