Now I have to set up he A1 for taking pictures of Hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds in Flight was a major reason for me to get an A1 in the first place.
You are well ahead of me with your stunning Hummingbird images.
I like your images a lot!

Thank you K-H. I am amazed you could shoot hummers with the Sony 90mm macro!

A few shots from this morning.
Thanks Douglas, your Hummingbird shots are at another level. Simply beyond believe! WOW!
Here is one from today, pretty bad light. But I finally put the A1 to work!

My normal flow is I crop in LR and turn off the "Detail" tab. I then "edit in" Topaz. In Topaz I usually run "Clear" on auto. I think I have the latest Topaz installed. I bring the image back into LR and use the "Basic" tab for almost everything.
The grid pattern was not easily visible in the raw file, maybe if you squint it could be seen. It was easily visible with the masking slider as you described. I've seen this affect a few times with the A9 as well. It doesn't bug me too much, if needed I could always make it disappear one way or another.
Sometimes I see really weird artifacts in Topaz and 99% of the time it is because I left LR "Detail" turned on before using Topaz.
This is definitely an artifact from Denoise, I have it with my R5’s files occasionally. I’ve generally only seen it show up when the background is a consistent dark tone. I read somewhere on Topaz’s support forums that it’s a result of the software using the GPU instead of the CPU for processing which you can disable in settings but I’ve had issues persist even after disabling it. My theory is that the software is breaking the image up into subsections based on that grid and processing multiple sections on parallel threads to quicken the processing time but that’s just a guess.
my second outing with the A1, and the 200-600. i am kind of new to this birding , so i am not sure what bird this is. i would appreciate it if someone could identify it for me, then i can look in my petersons guide when it arrives today
