Topaz Photo AI v3.6.1-3.6.2

Hi Lingyu

A question about how and whether Photo AI is learning from my editing style has come up in my discussion with unrelent and I would really like your comments and advice.

Most specifically whether testing extremes in my option settings is distorting my perceived “work style”?

This is a copy of my most recent post in the Gigapixel AI Forum where our discussion started -

Thanks for your reply - most of which I like and fully agree with.

My comments about Photo AI - Personalization data - and AI Learning for an individual were possibly misplaced in this Gigapixel AI Forum - but I did specifically say “Photo AI”.

I still beg to differ with your opinion as to whether Photo AI is Learning from how I edit.

This snip from TopazLabs Docs > PHOTO AI > Autopilot & Configuration seems to clearly say that my personal editing (work style) will be recorded and used to learn how I edit photos ?

Within Photo AI v3.6.2 my Preferences show this:

v3.6.2 Preferencess Personalization options
.
.
Now I will edit a new photo … done … and recheck my Preferences …
.

.
.
My Personalization tally has incremented to 126 - so I’m assuming that Photo AI now THINKS it has “Learnt” more about how I edit photos ?
.
.
BUT what I am wondering is whether my deliberate use of many different setting for testing and comparison is distorting what Photo AI is recording as “my work style of settings choices” ?
My inclination is that I ought to have an option to “Save this to my personal setting learning profile” ONLY for the final and “best” render that my permutations and combinations produced ?
.
.
I would very much like to know how you interpret the Topaz Docs and internal Preferences menu statements.

I’m also going to send this post to Lingyu on the Photo AI Forum for his comments and advice.
