[Please describe your issue here. Try to include logs (Help → Logging) and add screenshots if necessary.]

See attached pics. This happens when I run a DNG through Topaz that has been edited in Lr with a mask.

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Convert a .ARW to .DNG with Adobe DNG Converter
  2. Make some edits (cropping, lighting, color, etc.) in Lr, and use some sort of Mask
  3. Export a DNG from Lr with the edits
  4. Run the DNG through Topaz AI using batch convert and allowing Topaz to use Autopilot.

See attached pics.

Maybe the answer is that I shouldn’t do any masks before Topaz???
