Hi @kathy gb,

Thanks for your post and our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here. We are exceptionally busy following the release of V2 and we thank you for your continued patience and understanding here.

send Raw through Topaz AI before or after Develop Persona?

I would say this is personal preference based, as RAW engines in different applications will perform slightly differently when developing RAW images - some users may prefer the 'look' of RAW files that are developed in Affinity, and others may prefer the look that Topaz AI produces.

Therefore I would recommend trying a few different RAW files in both applications using 'default' settings, to see which you prefer for the style of image you want to develop.

However I would say that if you are planning on performing any AI de-noising steps in Topaz to your images, this is usually best if done before/during development of the RAW file, rather than denoising a rasterised image (such as JPEG, TIFF, PNG etc) as usually less data will be 'lost' when denoising a RAW file over other file types.

I hope this helps!
