Topaz JPEG To RAW AI 1.0.3 Pre-Activated
Erminia Scharnberg
I knew that the B700's smaller sensor wouldn't match the micro 4/3 sensor of the GX85, but at least the B700 had raw capture. After testing the B700, I'm happy to say the final results using raw images processed in combination with Topaz AI Sharpen and Luminar 4 has given me results I'm happy with. Processing the jpegs created overly sharpened images. I'm far from an expert using photography software, but here's my first pass at tweaking:
Reduce your jpeg sharpening and see the difference. Look at page 128 of the manual and reduce sharpening, then see how your result looks more like the raw when sharpened. I've discovered that the camera can do as good a job as I can post processing raw, if I just select the right options. It takes time to figure out the best options, but when you find them, you will save a lot of time post processing.
When I open the resulting jpeg in Affinity Photo or Adobe Photoshop the colorspace is reported as expected: sRGB IEC61966-2.1, but when I use Windows Properties dialog to view the "Color Representation" tag it reads "Uncalibrated".
When I use Adobe Photoshop and its "save for Web" function with the corresponding Embed ICC profile and convert to sRGB settings the jpeg that is produced will be recognized in the Windows "Properties" dialog "Color Representation" tag as "sRGB".
I can see the topaz denoised micrographs in Inspect Picks, but not in Manual Picker. It just appears as a gray image. I am trouble shooting with a subset of 20 images. The corresponding non-denoised images show up fine in Manual Picker. I know the denoised images are not gray because I visualized them in an Inspect Picks job.
I think you are correct - looks like in the last traceback, Topaz tried to run with 4 processes but 2 of them failed out of memory on the GPU. Strangely the out of memory report indicates that the topaz processes themselves were not really using that much memory - maybe something else was running?
