The last of the fix items in the changelog says:-
“The dropdown accept option in plugin mode should now work as intended”
What drop down accept option?
In plugin mode the Accept is a simple “tick” button that returns to the host editor. As far as I can see it doesn’t have a drop down.
Can anyone please shed some light on what this is about?

When I open a RAW image (Sony A77ii) in the standalone version it looks dark and partially desaturated. A JPEG of the same image looks fine and there is no problem if I open the image from Photoshop using the Topaz Studio 2 plugin.

I cannot open Remask 5 from a Photoshop action. I can open other Topaz plugins but not Remask. If you can launch Remask 5 from an action I’d like to know how. Thanks.

It would be nice if GigaPixel had an option to change a file to a certain size in MB.
For instance, Zenfolio has a 67 MB maximum file size. After processing Nikon D850 photos, I have had some JPGs grow to as much 95 MB. (How a 51MB nef grows this large after processing with Luminar and Sharpen AI is beyond me.)
Instead of guessing the proper image dimensions to get under the limit, it would be great if I could set the file size in MB and have GigaPixel work it’s magic.

I have just had a response from Topaz regarding the fact that just adding a Precision Detail filter when running MacOS Mojave sends the image blurry.
The fix is to upgrade to Catalina. Given the number of compatibility issues with other products, e.g.Spyder Express 64 bit not due out until next week, that have been reported and the fact that Apple normally issues bug fix releases soon after a major release, I will not be rushing to implement this fix.
Could anyone who has experienced this issue and has upgraded to Catalina check that the upgrade does fix the problem?

Today I updated to the latest version of Catalina on my iMac. When started on the new install, Topaz Studio 2 was not found by the system and I couldn’t find it on the disk, so I reinstalled it from my account. After reinstalling, I found that DNG image file associations had been changed to Topaz 2 as a default. I use Lightroom as my primary editor and Apple Preview to just look at files, and Preview has no problem opening DNG files. I don’t want Topaz 2 to come up everytime I click on a DNG file and I really don’t care for my system file associations being changed without asking - so I would prefer the installer not make this change automatically and since not everyone knows how to change file associations, I don’t think it should be the default.

I have noticed and DeNoise AI and Sharpen AI significantly increase a JPG file’s size.
For example, if i take a Nikon raw file (NEW) from a D850, the native size is about 53mb. If I process it in ACR and export it as a JPG with no size reduction and at the highest quality, it will be 30mb or so. Running it through either DeNoise AI to Sharpen AI will increase the size to 53-57mb when saved back to the JPG. I can then take the extra step of running the image through Photoshop or OnONe Resize, and the image reduces to 33-35mb with no visible loss of image quality.
I have had files processed through Luminar come out as big as 95MB after processing through Sharpen AI. Luminar does not seem to do a good job of compressing JPG, either.
Can this be addressed? It can be a problem when going over the limits of some file sharing sites.

I was going through all my apps to see which ones were 32-bit in preparation for my eventual upgrade to MacOS Catalina (which will NOT allow 32-bit programs to run). All of the Topaz apps & plugins show as 64-bit, EXCEPT for Lens Effects. Is there a 64-bit update for Lens Effects in the works?? I wonder why this is the only Topaz app or plugin that is not being reported as 64-bit?

Love this product, but behavior I have a hard time adjusting to. Not sure if it’s expected behavior or not.
On my Windows 10 computer, the scroll wheel increases the size of the image regardless of which direction you turn it. Most software, scroll up to increase and scroll down to decrease.

I recently installed Studio 2 and Adjust AI. Now the filters menu in CS6 (Win 8.1) also lists Sharpen AI and Denoise AI, neither of which do I have. The primary issue is that if I accidentally click on one of these choices it crashes photoshop and my work is lost.
What is the fix?

All,
I’ve been a loyal user of Topaz products for a very long time. I have had great success with Topaz Denoise, and was eager to try out the Denoise AI product.
While Denoise AI has remarkable noise reduction, I find that it dramatically over-sharpens for me – even when at absolutely lowest settings (noise reduction 0.01, sharpen 0.0, details 0.0), it adds massive sharpening artifacts to some photos.
I have an example here, a zoo shot from my new 90D. Apologies in advance for the file sizes. In this folder, you’ll find the original, Denoise6 (strength 0.07), and DenoiseAI (noise reduction 0.01, all others zero). You can see, especially in the colored feathers just below the head, the introduction of massive sharpening artifacts. This was really disappointing.
Does anyone else see this? I opened a trouble ticket, but the feedback I got was, “looks good to me”.
My view is, if sharpening is set a zero, it shouldn’t do any sharpening!
Regards,
Dan

Hi,
when using Studio 2 it feels like a big step back. I’m a user since before Studio 1 and I am missing so many nice presets in Studio 2. I have to say that I rarely use Studio 2 because I don’t see any improvements to the first version. Most filters in Studio 2 are uninteresting/ugly, there are so few B&W filters for example. I’m really dissatisfied about this version.

Hi All,
I used to use Topaz products a lot during the initial stages (Even Have a copy Photo FX Lab). But with recent updates I see more and more GPU requirements being a must.
I also see need for higher Open GL based requirements? (Correct me if I am wrong please).
So my question to all: Is it now a mandatory requirement to have a GPU based system to run Topaz product line?
I have an old 2011 Mac Mini but is fast enough with SSD and sufficiently fast RAM.
But I see the above two cases restricting my Topaz Usage. Is my predicament correct? Or am I missing something?Because frankly I have not felt the need for a GPU till date for photo editing. Hence my question to the forum.
Thanks
