Since the last update, we’ve noticed a few crashes.Taxing on the computer system, as the fan always comes on high.Quite slow performance without high-end hardware.Somewhat expensive $49 fee to receive upgrades after 1st year.Very easy interface to learn and deal with.Helps to fix pixelation in lo-res images.Crystal clear upscaling with no blocky artifacts.With this level of software corrections and enhancements, will we see the end of large and expensive camera systems as we know them (heard that before!)? As the cameras in our phones get better and better, there’s now rumours of 10 times optical zooms with motorized telescoping lenses and image stabilization coming out in future phones, AI image processing will become more and more the norm, we believe. But Gigapixel is really taking it to a whole new level, and we can hardly wait to see where this technology goes. Having been around long enough to see the introduction of layers, and being dumb enough to not understand why you would ever need that (…duh!), and curves, healing tools, and what were possibly the first steps into this technology: "image awareness". Topaz Gigapixel AI offers some of the most impressive software technology since the introduction of Photoshop itself.

I am able to select the Intel iRIS Xe in the preferences box but it unfortunately had the same result. How much of the OP's RAM is allocated to the integrated GPU for VRAM? Is it at least 2GB? Topaz also state the dedicated GPU must have at least 2GB of VRAM (6GB or more for optimum performance). Hopefully the OP can get Topaz to run with his integrated GPU but Topaz make it very clear they much prefer, if not require, a dedicated GPU. On my M1 Macbook, I had to find and set Apple M1. If not listed there, I would contact Topaz support, after running Dell Support Assistant to ensure you have the latest driver. Even easier would be if you can find the Preferences dialog that sets GPU type, and select Iris Xe. Topaz isn't very good at auto-recognizing the GPU. Iris Xe is the latest but not necessarily greatest Intel onboard GPU. Intel HD Graphics 4600 is an old discontinued onboard GPU. Is it OK to run it using the CPU? It does work, just very slow. " A sufficient dedicated graphics card with OpenGL 3.3 and at least 2 GB of VRAM is our minimum requirement to support the software on your device."Īppreciate you letting me know! I wish I'd realised that when I ordered my computer. "We do not support Intel HD Graphics 4600 integrated graphics cards or lower in any configuration." If I understand correctly, your GPU is an integrated GPU, not dedicated, and so uses the computer's RAM for the video memory. Looks like you might have an incompatible graphics card for Topaz imaging apps. Thanks for your reply Ian, I'll check to see if it's up to date. You could try updating the graphics driver. I have run diagnostics on the computer and it says everything is running healthy. Is it possible there is a problem with my computer or the software. I know the Intel iRIS Xe integrated graphics card isn't as good an option as a dedicated graphics card but I would have thought it would be easily capable of handling Processing a single photograph. The Processing takes so much longer when set to to CPU. I have to run the processor set to CPU in preferences for it to run without the pop up Error. When using Topaz Sharpen Ai with the Topaz Ai processor set on Auto I'm constantly getting a pop up saying Processing Error. Given my computer was quite old I also purchased a new Dell Inspiron 15- i7 with 16gb Memory and a Intel iRIS Xe graphics for my Photo processing. I recently purchased Topaz Sharpen Ai and On1 Photo Raw 2022.
