Why am I getting an error using the new Topaz sharpen tool. It says the output is too large.

I’m trying to use the new AI Topaz Sharpen tool, and it gives me the error saying: “Output too large. Try a smaller scale or reduce the image size”

I shoot in 60MP RAW. So to use it, I really need to reduce my resoution first? WTF? I’m not trying to upscale anything. Just sharpen.

So… what is the maximum resolution of a photo I can use this tool on? That would be helpful information in the error message. Just saying...

    Hey, @kind_thinking16B8. Thanks for bringing this up. The upper limit can not be adjusted for now.

    ​@Sameer K What that link states is not the full story. I've upscaled tons of RAWs from my a7R V and one RAW from my a7R VI, both at their full resolution in lossless compressed mode. See my recent bug report as well.

    lol so we're just going to ignore the fact that I've successfully used AI Sharpen on 61MP and 68MP photos
