Help With Topaz Adjust Crashing CS3

I downloaded it from your site. It said V2.1 Keep in mind that in only crashes when I use 12MP images. Seems to work on my 10MP images.

I was starting to give your product a lot of press on flickr. Especially since LucisArt is not longer available. I was doing versions of all my LucisArt stuff with your plug-in until I ran into problems.

I think you could corner the market in this area if you can get the thing stabilized.

Setting memory to 500MB did not help. The program is just plain flakey when dealing with 12MP images. One minute it will other times it will report a memory error when pleny of memory is available. I have had it totaly mess up my color settings and turn the image purple.

I suspect you have some sort of memory leak. I am running CS3 on Vista Buis (32-bit) with 4Gig (3Gig Availble)

I have used your other plugins quite abit and they dont have this problem.

My image size is 4288 x 2848.

The following images use ADjust

I dont have a problem showing other people how to use the tools. I am the ADmin on the "Nikon D300 Tips Techniques and Fun" group and created just to show others how to do cool things.

Here is the scoop and you guys could really benefit from this. LucisArt gives a really cool effect that can be duplicated in Photoshop with effort. The LucisArt plug-in makes it much easer and you don’t need as much Photoshop experience. The problem is that the company pulled LucisArt so there is no where to purchase it anymore. They care coming out with a more advance version with sliders and that will work in 16-bit mode. (Remind you of anything) They are pricing themselves out of the public market cause they are going to sell it for $550.

I get lots of emails on how I create my effects. So I know there is a general market for a low end set of controls. What makes yours so cool is that I can save my presets. I already have several.

BTW I just uploaded this one. It was done with Adjust

One nice thing about your product is that it can really help enhance your photos without the treated look. It’s like a all in one tool.

This is happening to me too. I use a 1Ds MkIII so my images are 21MP. It seems to work OK if you don't zoom out.

As soon as you zoom out... even once, it crashes. It's a pity because it seems like really good software adn I actually like the results you get... when it works.

I'm using a MAC

Topaz Adjust also crashes Photoshop CS3 on my Mac. Every time I try to open a new image after using the plugin the application crashes. The software is not stable at this time.

The image size from a 1Ds MkIII is 5616 x 3744 pixels. The program works almost all the time if I don't zoom out (click the '-' key). However, on an image this large it's almost impossible to see what the filter will produce without zooming out.

Can't you let the filter create a preview on a smaller version of this to give you an idea, and only when you click OK, switch over and use the larger image? This would help speed and reliability. If you get the algorithms pretty close the preview on a smaller image should eb fairly close without being exact.

I recently bought Topaz Adjust. Last night I was working on a photo (I have 2 GB of RAM on my computer and plenty of space). The processing was very slow but worked eventually. Immediately afterwards, however, I lost the capability to "Save As" in CS3 and CS3 froze up. Now, every time I select "Save As," CS3 freezes, on *every photo*, including those that have not been processed with Topaz Ajust. Help!
P.S.: I did install the fix mentioned above. No change.
P.P.S.: The size of the image that caused the problems is 8MB.

I tried doing the effect on a smaller image and reproducing the effect on the full with the same settings. However, it doesn't work well.

On the smaller image I get the effect I want, and when I apply the same settings on the larger image the effect isn't the same. Because of the dreater detail the effect is much more subdued, and doesn't have exactly the same result.

That's why in our new version you will have to take into account the fact that the image preview on a smaller image will be different on a larger file.

Thanks for the try though :)

I found the solution to my "Save As" problem. I'm thinking the issue was triggered by Topaz Adjust, but thankfully it can be resolved by hitting ESC after selecting "Save As" in CS3. So if anyone else comes across this problem after using Topaz Adjust, consult this page: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c05...
Yikes, this was driving me crazy. Cool plug-in though. Keep it up.

So what do you do with this is your minimum file is 24 mb like I use at 12x8 @ 300
or do I just forget it and return to other programs??
Thanks
