Too bad. It sounds like you have an old GPU in your computer which isn't powerful enough to support the Topaz AI engine. (NVDA makes the most advanced GPU chips for supporting high-end AI applications today -- BNM you need NVDA GPU.)

For the products you purchased from e-infinity, did you ever need services or repairs? From their service shops? I asked Panamoz about my area's local service shops and they said any local service or repair shops will do (they'll accept the bills). That sounds like promising. I may take a plunge...

Interesting! I ran your original with tone curve in gimp to get this: (are those considered artifacts in the background?)

I received your original jpg. It looks like no artifact at all after Topaz DN AI. I ran your original large-size file and found no issue, but couldn't screenshot the whole image. I downsized in Photo AI (0.2x) and ran DN, no issue (pic1). I scaled large-size in Gimp and ran DN AI to see no...

@Clovishound I wonder if your machine's GPU may have caused the issue. Can you send me your original file (assume jpg)? I can run it through Photo AI on my Mac and see how it goes. My email: [email protected]

Checked out e-infinity a little and found: prices are similar (only a new Z8 costs $3400 at e-infinity as the lowest from everywhere, and costs $3553 at Panamos, $4000 at Nikon; other cameras cost about the same); e-infinity offers fewer products; e-infinity provides a one-year warranty (assume...

What's wrong with its right eye?

Does anyone buy camera gear from Panamoz (UK)? Their prices for new cameras look very attractive and services are good with a 3-year warranty (by local service shops) too except for the grey market products considered. Any comments? (@Peter7100 Have you bought any from Panamoz?)

I use Topaz Photo AI v2.3.1 Free and have not encountered the issue YET. (M2 Pro Mac mini Sonoma)

Congratulations to Woody!!!

To me, the con of low-res sensors stems from the fact that when the subjects do not fill up the frame and have to be heavily cropped, you lose a lot of pixels that can show a big deal of "details" (for wildlife photos). Guess not everyone can always shoot at a well-closed distance for full-frame...

Thanks for your opinion, Danno. My undecided plan: if I go for Z8, my Z6ii will stay as a backup or casual use. If I get Z6iii, Z6ii will go to a new user.

And today Nikon has a sale on Z8: $200 off (body only). Does anyone remember how much off for the last holiday sale? My hands itch as I keep pondering a high-res upgrade for my z6ii. It's still too high $ for me... The rumor of z6iii says it could bring up to a 33M sensor. Should I wait?

Me too.

According to Nikon, NX Studio 1.6 is compatible with Sonoma on Apple silicon. It just won't install on my machine :( update: I just tried downloading and installing again and it worked! Don't know why. Only that it replaces my previous ViewNX-i

Let us know when you update to v1.6 on your Apple Silicon (M1 or M2) with Sonoma OS. Thanks

On what computer system did you install NX Studio?

Has anyone succeeded in installing the latest version of NX Studio on an M2 Pro Mac machine? I tried and it said "Installation is completed"... but nothing was installed! Any idea?

Can't see the Exif
