Has anyone else noticed the reappearance of those strange shimmering AI artifacts in certain areas like microphones on the Iris model? In the past, my approach was to use a less aggressive model, but even with 100% original recovery and dialing in 0 for detail recovery, sharpening, compression, and denoise (after already performing pre-processing), the issue still persists. You can observe it to a lesser extent in the Paul McCartney clip on the Iris roadmap page.
This has been a recurring problem since at least artemis, but with the LQ model, one could switch to the MQ model to resolve it. Another scenario where it often arises is when a clip is pre-processed or upscaled twice in steps. This leads me to believe it’s likely an issue of overprocessing that needs to be adjusted, but currently, the sliders in Iris don’t seem to have sufficient impact.
I’m hopeful that we can either receive an explanation from the developers regarding a workflow solution, or that the issue improves in future updates.
