And today, Topaz released version 0.6 of its upcoming
Photo AI app which you can access if you own the full Image Quality Bundle. Changes are listed below.
Examples of using Photo AI to clean and enlarge a 1985 35mm slide scan and cleaning and enlarging a 2004 4-megapixel digital image are attached.
Changes since 0.5.0:- Added ability to export as DNG
– Note: This only works with DNG or other RAW files as input. If you attempt to save a non-RAW file as DNG it will give you an error on export.
- Updated Autopilot logic to account for luma noise and any applied resizing
- Added ability to use the auto-detected subject mask to mask Sharpen filter
– You can toggle this on and off inside of the Sharpen filter settings
- Added ability to close a single image from the UI (bottom left, left of progress bar)
- Added a warning prompt when exiting the app with unsaved changes
– This does not handle every edge case and does not handle closing images individually, but will be - updated soon
- Updated Exiftool to 12.44
– Should add support for some newer camera metadata
- Face recovery will now be locked/disabled when no faces are detected
- Changed Close Image and Close All Images options so that they don’t show up if they would close the app (external editor mode)
- Added a support link to the Help menu
- Added the Photoshop plugin to the install directory on Windows to allow people to copy the plugin to other apps even if they don’t have Photoshop
- Changed login dialog buttons and error text slightly
- Changed Autopilot wording for some cases
- Added a blocking overlay on the right panel while authorization is being checked
- Changed face detection rectangles style slightly to be clearer to see
- Added more status messages when loading an image so that long images no longer just seem to hang in one place

- Fixed menu items on Windows being empty in plugin mode
- Fixed Windows app not responding correctly to minimize/show events when clicking the icon on the taskbar
- Fixed a potential download speed issue in the installers
- Fixed plugins not overwriting correctly in some cases
- Fixed a model erroneously not being downloaded on Windows, causing a No Filters Active issue
