Topaz Sharpen

I noted, starting yesterday, that Sharpen, when invoked moves my screens around. No recent downloads/upgrades to Sharpen I use a MacBook Pro and a 27" LG external monitor. I run Lightroom on the laptop and Photoshop, where I do any extensive work on the larger monitor. If Sharpen is to be used, I invoke it in Photoshop. When I open it, Lightroom screen moves to the larger display. It will not move back. I must close it and reopen it to get it back into the correct position. Maddening when moving through a large number of images.

I have reported this to Topaz-no answer as yet.

Anyone experiencing this? Any solutions?

Haven't seen anything like this happen. Windows 10 with two monitors. They stay where I put them.

Thanx! It could be MacOS issues.

I’m using a Mac desktop running the latest version/updates and am not experiencing any issue like you are explaining. Have you tried re-starting your Mac? My Mac is left on but goes to sleep when not using, I also have it set to restart every Sunday night. No issues so far.

MacBook are known for supernatural happenings. Perhaps it is time for a priest to cast out the Macevil. We Windows people are protected by Microsoft.
[sorry Sinewsworn, I could not resist]

I use Corel Paintshop Pro 2022 ultra. Adobe may be part of the problem. See if your MacBook shows the same problems using a different edit program. Do a trial download to see.

I have many Topaz and Topaz AI and no problem yet except paying $99 for A.I. Gigapixel. I use Photozoom 7 which is down-priced to $20 since Photozoom 8 came out. [sold at $20 by Ashampoo]

Yes, I have had that issue since I switched from Windows to Mac in December.

I turn mine off after every session. Topaz thinks it may be in the OS.

I have/use an M1 MacBook Pro, also with an LG 27" monitor (excellent, by the way). My primary PP software is the Adobe LR/PS set, with Topaz products only occasionally used to supplement the Adobe stuff. I've never had the problem you describe - everything always straightforward editing, though with frequent operator errors, usually easily overcome.

Apple thought that downloading the update would solve the problem. Now I cannot access my LR files! Long call to Adobe.
