I used another commercial product to create an Adobe compatible DNG file, which opens just find in PSE. Right off the bat the blue sky was an ugly pink. I first went back to a Fuji Raw file (not an x-trans raw, but a bayer raw from an XA3) that I had been working with before. I then downloaded the installer and it installed without a hitch. By that, I mean I used a commercial uninstaller program to remove studio 2 and all it’s left over registry entries and files, over which there were many! (as an aside, when will software engineers on the windows platform create an uninstaller that actually uninstalls everything?) It gave a runtime exception… So I checked the forum and seeing a few other complaints but not this exact one, I decided to do a clean install. Studio 2.2 finally installed, but would not run. Lot’s of errors with wrong versions of various components. I finally acknowledged the update notice and it went into it’s auto update process. To start off, I was using Studio 2.1 or whatever the previous version was with no problems. I do not understand why? Because of anonymous ID? Or because of a163c89b19ca81ed23bf33bfc427de88 after which I searched in my PC and Registry without result?įor every suggestion to solve this problem I would be very grateful. In the above line “Executing C:…” it says “Install Canceled”. The parameter Unrestricted will run all scripts, a warning will be issued for unsigned and downloaded scripts from the Internet. In Windows Powershell I checked the Script Execution Policy and changed CurrentUser Restricted to CurrentUser Unrestricted. The essential statement of the log file is:Įxecuting C:\Users\Bernd\AppData\Local\Temp/curl/bin/curl -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d “” The installer produces in User\AppData\Local\Temp TopazStudio2-Online-Installer.exe as Admin The Topaz Studio 2.2.0 installer does not work in my Tower PC.Īll subsequent attempts to install Studio 2.2.0 failed: I have been using Topaz plugins for years and have never had such installation problems. My OS is Win 10 Pro v1909 - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti Topaz Studio 2.2.0 can not be installed and Topaz Customer Service refers with a link to the online installer that does not do what it is supposed to do. Mask AI is not faring much better, and AI Sharpen produces reasonably good results if you have all day to wait for it to process, very slowly, one image at a time.īut, looking on the bright side, I bet the coding is a joy to behold! Studio 2 is a constipated stripped-down version of the original and, despite all the updates, those amazing end-result developments have practically stalled. But are they they really any better? I’m not seeing any hard evidence that they are. What Topaz and a dozen other photo software developers are actually using is Machine Learning and calling it AI.ĪI apps are huge, they take longer to download and install, they gobble up resources and are slow to use. Which is misdescribed, as artificial intelligence does not exist. Puzzlingly, the focus has been turned on its head and has shifted away from wooing customers with amazing end-result features to worshiping the actual process of how it is put together, putting it under the epithet of the much overrated AI moniker. Who really cares about the coding process if it works? Topaz have always been good at this, making things work - until recently. Photo editing tools traditionally are judged by their end result, how easy they are to use, what amazing differences they make to the image, that sort of thing.
