This is not present (thankfully!) in output images.Ģ. There is a cross-hatching pattern artifact visible at zoom percentages of 100% or more (more visible at higher magnifications). Topaz Studio zoom percentages, cross-hatching grain artifact, noise reduction without any editsġ. Clear, not even a single crash when attempting to process large TIFFs with A.I. I have not noticed any hardware-related glitches running Studio or A.I.
#Topaz studio clear recent windows#
I am on an i5-4690K, Firepro W4100 running Windows 10.
Experienced users are encouraged to look for similar issues with their own setups before assuming that my issues are hardware-related. I hope they will be useful to the Topaz user community or anyone considering A.I. However, I am reproducing my report here in a more chronological manner with more accurate descriptions. If you wish to follow the discussion there, here are the links. So I took to posting my issues publicly on their forums and thankfully, it got their attention. After their initial reply from their Head of Support for further information which I provided within a day, I did not receive any further responses for over three months despite making multiple attempts to reach out to them. Clear after reaching out to Topaz for technical support over three months ago.
#Topaz studio clear recent trial#
I had only just been able to activate my trial of A.I. I wasn't sure if I should add on to plugsnpixels thread but since this is going to be a lengthy one with new issues, I thought it best to open another thread. Hello everyone, I apologise for being late to the A.I. This third example is a regular landscape image which has the combination of both issues and reveals the issues with A.I. This post shows another example, a less revealing and demanding image, more typical of most user's files, but the problem persists and more importantly, is visible. Clear yet.įor examples, look here for a tough astrophotography example, and further descriptions of the issues. Users who are interested to produce high quality, halo-free, without adding more artifacts to their master images cannot rely on A.I. This is tangential to the claims of Topaz that it is "much better", which I feel was misleading to me.
Clear produces *relatively* significantly worse results than Topaz Denoise. There is a bug in Topaz Studio which is that it applies additional noise reduction without user's knowledge or consent to all imported images regardless if any adjustment is or is not applied.Ī.I. In addition, Studio preview zoom magnifications of more than 100% results in an even more blurry and inaccurate preview. Clear adjustment once applied is blurry.ģ. There is a cross-hatching pattern artifact visible at zoom percentages of 100% or more.Ģ. There are three related issues with the preview in Topaz Studio which causes it to be a mismatch to the output TIFF, and it is not related to an application colour management issue, nor is it a tonal or colour mismatch.ġ. Clear is applied, the mismatch is even worse. The preview in Topaz Studio does not match the image or its output, even when there are no edits applied to the image. As requested, here is a summary of the various issues:
