P: Enhance Details causes cut out colored squares

I was trying out the new Enhance Details function on Lightroom 8.2, and it is working well on some images, but on other images, it creates the new file, but totally messes it up by cutting out a square in one part of the image, and then other green, blue and magenta squares of the same size are placed randomly in other parts of the image.

This doesn't happen on all files (and it isn't consistent as to which files...two shots taken minutes apart with the same camera and lens, and one it won't process correctly, but the other it will.  If it messes up on a file, it always messes up in the same way if you try again. It doesn't matter whether GPU processing is enabled or not.

    Somewhat fixed and somewhat still problematic. Still have the issue with 419.67 Creator Ready Driver when viewing the file in Lightroom CC...but now when opening that same file in Photoshop CC, it renders properly.

    RTX2070, Windows 10.

    Thank you, Mr.Rikk Flohr, for this important news. Have immediately installed NVIDIA Creator Ready Driver version 419.67, - and, indeed, for me this solved the matter of color tiling in "Enhance Details". Just few extra words if you please: (a)  I will never understand why the company of Adobe calibre decided to release this half-baked feature to users in the first place. Believe that a couple of months ago this issue was as evident to Adobe as it became to the Lightroom users upon installation. (b) Just to tell you the truth, - while I have most highly appreciated that I no longer see these ugly color squares in my "_Enhanced.dng" photos, I have to honestly admit that I can hardly see much differences between my initial (big enough) RAW file and the resulting  ( h u g e ) _Enhanced.dng photo...  Looks like at the end of the day "the mountain gave birth to a mouse"... and the whole story probably wasn't worth all the mountain's labours...

    For those experiencing the color tiling issue in Enhanced Details who are using Nvidia RTX series cards, a new driver has been released.The driver version that has the fix is called 419.67 (this is the term that Nvidia uses on their web site).  It was just released yesterday, 3/25.  Please update your driver from the Nvidia site and let us know if you continue to have the issue afterwards.

    It seems that MacOS 10.13 has bugs in its machine-learning library (Core ML) that LR trips over

    Enhance Details works fine on my 2013 Mac Pro (AMD D500 GPUs) running MacOS 10.13.6.  Processing times for Nikon NEFs and Fuji RAFs are between 10-20 seconds.  The rendering quality of the X-Trans files is typically similar to that of Iridient Developer and Iridient X-Transformer.

    Yeah, I’ve had enough of Adobe’s s*** and decided to ditch Adobe all together. It shouldn’t be this complicated or frustrating to read and display a Fuji (in my case) RAF file correctly when multiple other softwares have had it figured out for years now. I shouldn’t have to use a special feature on every picture and wait 5 minutes for it to process just to get a useable image. This is absurd. Im moving over to Exposure X4. Adobe needs to stop eating glue and get their act together before they lose all their Fuji customers

    "no Metal support, which could well be the reason for the issue"

    It seems that MacOS 10.13 has bugs in its machine-learning library (Core ML) that LR trips over, and these bugs are fixed in 10.14.  I.e. the issue is unrelated to whether your hardware supports Metal.

    Unluckily Mojave is not available for iMac 2011 so that is not an option. I understand my iMac is dated and no longer fulfills the system requirements (no Metal support, which could well be the reason for the issue).

    "It takes about 4 minutes to generate an enhanced DNG"

    Most likely that's because Mac OS is using the CPU rather than your relatively older GPU (graphics processor) to do the machine-learning computations.  You can verify in Activity Monitor by doing Window > GPU History.

    Yes, updating to Mojave solved that problem. However on my Mac Mini (late 2014 with 16gb ram) it takes about 4 minutes to generate an enhanced DNG!

    I can confirm that it worked for me after upgrading to Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave), appareantly bringing some updates and improvements to the Apple machine learning framework necessary for this (as I understood it, correct me if I'm wrong).

    BUT! Be aware that Apple cut it's support for a wide range of NVidia graphics card with the Mojave update. Although officially being 'unsupported' it has been possible before to use NVidia GPUs (e.g. in an upgraded Mac Pro 4,1 or 5,1), but after the Mojave update Apple seems to refuse to cooperate with NVidia to develop / update new drivers required, rendering NVidia cards useless. There is all sorts of complaints about this on the internet and it seems that this will be a permanent issue.

    I was running a Mac flashed NVidia GTX 980 in my Mac Pro 5,1 and switched to a Sapphire RX 580 PULSE for around 200 €, which is fully supported by Apple. Everything works nicely again and performance is even a bit better but I still would have appreciated to spend the money on something else... 😉
