This isn’t really a bug, but it is an issue. When we use the cropping option, it doesn’t actually crop the image until it’s exported. Even though we see the cropped image while we’re processing it, if we apply an upscaler, it upscales the entire photo, with the time and resources that entails, making it impossible to upscale really large photos that we want to crop in order to upscale a specific detail. The workaround we have is to crop it beforehand before importing it into the program, but it would be great if, in the future, the cropping tool worked correctly and made the process of applying filters much faster and easier.
It looks like the cropping tool in Gigapixel works as it should. I cropped an image and applied Wonder 3 with an output of 2000x2000 (4MP), and it only used 5GB of VRAM. I did the same thing in Topaz Photo, and it used over 20GB of VRAM. Topaz Photo processes the entire image without cropping. Gigapixel processes the cropped photo.
