Windows 10 fully updated, system is optimized with all latest drivers as well.
No idea what it takes to reproduce this so steps 1-3 are void. I wasn’t aware that I was buying into Beta software. I find this more than a little irritating, especially since I have no issues with any other software, Davinci, PS, LR classic, LRCC…etc. Time is money.
I assume that this has something to do with face detection, since it’s a square shadow on the face, which isn’t there on the Raws.
You can see in the screenshot which filters were applied.
naw, I figured it out. even though I had autopilot disabled, it added both sharpen and face detection twice to every other photo. Very strange. It turned out to be a product of double face detection. Now I have a new glitch. Batch export within Topaz, not lightroom, says that it skipped all of the exports because no edits were made :-/ even after I applied a preset to all of the photos. UGH!!!
When applying the lighting enhancement and after using the slider to control the degree of enhancement, a dark rectangle is drawn over the face. This is present in the saved image as well as the preview.
