The Caroussel which was introduced recently gives the wrong model when you load a preset.
The selected model is Iris.
This error was there since its introduction.

Personally I don’t want a caroussel at all, but if it’s there let it be at least functional and give the correct information.

A good example why you shouldn’t make changes to the interface and introduce bugs instead of fixing the ones that are already there.

We agreed to become part of a human centipede… Or was that already in?

This is a large overall update to accomodate some new features across all Topaz apps, including Pro licenses, Gigaprint, and API access.

Here’s a link to the new EULA and the previous version for review:

This will take a LONG time to read through.

The first thing I noticed is:

  1. PRIVACY . How Topaz collects, uses, and discloses information, including personal information, that You provide to us is described in our Privacy Policy found at: https://www.topazlabs.com/privacy

The link isn’t working for me.

It instead takes me to https://www.topazlabs.com/

Please update the older models already most users do not want new UI changes every 10 weeks and new features that like 95% of users will never use. We want the older models with new updates. Gaia Nxy Proteus Iris and Artemis should have been updated 2 times each by now S H M.

Hello.

Thanks, Z.

I guess I’ll be burning the midnight oil vetting these new Term of Use.

Hoping not another Adobe 101 fiasco.

Again, again and again

Which updates to these models would you like to see? I would be happy to hear your perspectives.

Gaia Nyx Proteus Iris mostly and maybe Artemis just general updates nothing real specific. It you be nice for the models to take 480p or 720p and be to give good video quality at like 1440p or close that size. Right now the results for these models are subpar. Also these model need a good processing speed increase. The Gaia model should not be slower than a brick wall.

In Germany, under the BGB, the concept of consumer protection ensures that certain rights cannot be overridden by contractual agreements. For example, clauses in EULAs that heavily restrict usage rights or prevent resale may be deemed invalid under German law.

I also think that I’m not interested in any UI beautification gimmicks, I want the focus to be on improving the models

Please do so! Give model upgrades. We want to update the models: Proteus (manual), Rhea (manual). The latter makes a good video, but it’s very slow…
Also, please update Apollo and Aion for even smoother on-screen motion when FPS increases (60,120)…
We will be very grateful if you stop worrying about the interface and give your users a big autumn gift in the form of a large model update package.

Am I reading this correctly?

Termination. This EULA will terminate automatically without notice if You fail to comply with any of its terms and conditions. You may also terminate this EULA by ceasing to use and destroying all copies of the Software. Upon termination, the license granted hereunder will automatically terminate, You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by the license, and You must destroy all copies of the Software in Your possession.

If I am reading this correctly, we cannot use the software, AT ALL, without EULA in effect, and the EULA expires when your license does. So you have changed us being able to continue to use the product, just no updates, and have switched to a subscription only model?

Hello.

Just remember, courts consider foreseeability, direct causation, and reasonable mitigation for non-breaching individuals key-factor and if memory serves, Topaz HQ resides UNDER Texas law (US) so, ToU are just guidelines, not the rule by applicable law.

Hi… I noticed this error in version 5.3.1. The slide of recover original detail is at 100, but the ffmpeg command of the processed file is 20.

I asked ChatGPT for help with this new EULA and it found serious concerns when applied to customers/clients in the European Union:

Yeah, I was just about to write-up an extensive report of my findings last night about this new ToU to alert users that their rights are now being super challenged (in MANY TERRITORIES is just illegal) with these new guidelines.

Good job, Imo.
