Has Hair identification with Neural filter been fixed or workaround developed?

Hi,

I see the issue of Photoshops nueral filter being used on faces and hair has been discussed several times over the last 5 years.

 

Has Adobe fixed this issue as it render the use of neural filters for face enhancement useless.

I have attached an example of the issue showing the original image and the use of 60% and 100% face enhancement. The face itself is excellennt and the lower part o the hair is excellent, however the top half of the hair remains blurry. 

 

Has anyone got an easy workaround to this issue?

Does anyone know if Adobe has stopped calling this issue a feature and decided to fix it? 

Thanks

    In my opinion some partner models seem to be handling this »problematic« scan fairly well and further fine-tuning of the prompt might improve the result further.

    But as always with such AI-usage one should keep in mind that the result is not actually a photograph but digital artwork.

    Neural filters have not been updated for years. It’s unclear if they still have a future in Photoshop.

    I doubt it; I suppose the Sensei team has had a lot on their plates the past few years …
