She is a little Monster.
It was really interesting to watch her spin that thick, zigzag thread into the web.
I’ve decided to film during the next session.

I’ve never seen that on a spiderweb before. I’m curious to know what the purpose of that silk zigzag is.
I was totaly wrong about it, i thought its for stability, because Waspspiders hunt for Grasshoppers.
Text is from Gemini.
"The zig-zag silk pattern in a wasp spider’s web—scientifically known as the stabilimentum—serves a few important purposes:
Attracting Prey: The silk reflects ultraviolet (UV) light, which mimics the appearance of nectar-rich flowers. This lures flying insects right into the web.
Warning Birds: The bright, reflective pattern makes the web clearly visible to larger animals like birds, preventing them from accidentally flying through and destroying it.
Camouflage: The spider often sits right in the middle of the zig-zag, blending in and making its body look larger and more intimidating to predators."

Image Web seems to be getting prioritised at the moment, which is disappointing.

Hi there,
Topaz has actually released more features and new AI models over the past year than at any other time in its history. While recent focus has been heavily directed toward bug fixes, engine optimization, and stability improvements behind the scenes, the development team has confirmed there is plenty more on the roadmap.
It has nothing to do with Adobe Topaz remains fully independent!
Hope this helps

Hi Rob,
In my experience, Topaz often introduces new AI models or updates in one application first, like Image Web to check for issues, test performance and gather feedback before rolling them out across other applications.
It’s less about shifting priority away from desktop apps and more about ensuring new generative models are stable before a full cross-app release.
Hope this helps

Did take a look at Wonder 3.5 in the web application.
Didn’t see anything that would prevent a release.
It had a higher detail resolution, compared to Wonder 3.
But i’m only able to export 33mp in web.
So i can’t test how it does when output res is higher.

Topaz photo is not have new Wonder 3 model? Or its only on web?
It has Wonder 3. It doesn’t have 3.5
I hope that version 3.5 of the model will be released locally soon.

It’s getting a little boring around here. 
I keep having trouble enlarging landscape photos—they don’t turn out as well as the ones of insects because the pixel density is different.
Do you happen to have a version we can test?

@TPX @JEM @P5tw @Harald.De.Luca @AND-E - Updated this reply after talking with Lingyu:
If all goes well, a new Topaz Photo update is currently aimed for next week. If any hurdles come up during testing, it may need to be pushed back, but that is the target for now.
You can turn on notifications from the Releases page, or keep an eye on the notification in the top-right corner of the app once the update is available.
While both Topaz Photo and Topaz Gigapixel are planned to receive updates with Wonder 3.5. Topaz Gigapixel is planned to release first this week. Topaz Photo has additional bug fixes and camera support included in its update that aren’t needed in Topaz Gigapixel, so it requires some additional testing and is expected to follow a little later. If you have access to Topaz Image Web in your Apps Page as part of your plan, you can already test Wonder 3.5 in it, from a computer, tablet or mobile.
