AI Animals doesn't recognize leopards

In this Sony ARW-rawpicture I have used six main masks with submasks too in some cases. I have made a lot of changes and all are changed in som ways. I have exported two JPEG-variants in 100 % quality at the same time: one in full size and one in 4K. It worked fine to export and took 34 sec. for both together.

In the picture below I have changed the masks “Vägen” (the road) and “Savannen” (the savanna) and increased the exposure before reexporting. This time it took 33 sec… Sometimes reexport gets much faster.

The last picture is even that reexported but that time I just changed from using the older Deep Prime XD2s to the new version 3. That export just took 8 sec. for both.

My conclusion of these examples is that despite I used very many masks and updated a lot of differens masks and submasks there are no tendences to instability. Using the automasking hoovering teqnique works really well already. Reexport seems to speed up the process often. Maybe Deep Prime 3 is faster than the older version 2.

For now I think it is best to avoid to use the predefined masks because they seem to demand much more system resources. than when we use freehand hoovering and the automasking system. If you do that you will get far less problems with system crashes and restarts. It is also far more fast and effective to solely rely on the hoovering free hand method than to abort your flow in order to activate and select masking options from a menu.

I have used the Nvidea Geforce RTX 572.83 driver to my 3060 Ti GPU-card with 8 GB and from what I have seen it seems to works fine now. Try for yourselves I think you can trust the system already now as long as you avoid the prebuilt AI-masks until DXO has fixed the problems with those. You will most likely be able to do everything the prebuilt masks promised to do but didn´t even with the automasking way of doing it.
