Five quick additions to make any Topaz user happy

Founding member user here and now a few weeks with Studio GP. Here’s some quick changes that would improve experience:

  1. Crop faster, easier: take a page out of Photoshop. They let you click and drag a crop window within the image ignoring current handles in addition to grabbing the default handles at the edges. GP only has edge handles which makes cropping take 10x longer.

  2. Cloud render shows a time. Leverage AI to learn the current local computer and show a time estimate for local GPU there, too.

  3. Long-time ask: In addition to 1x 2x 4x… add MP→ 100MP 200MP 400MP with custom MP entry box. When uploading to cloud, there are hard MP limits.
    Add button to say [:cloud: max MP]

  4. The Photos AI small/med/large preview boxes were a good idea though were a bit confusing as implemented. Bring that back but have a switchable mode for [add] and [replace] where clicking an area would generate a new preview area while keeping the previous or generate a new preview area while removing the previous

  5. Add Cloud Render preview not just Cloud Render exports. This can be folded into #4 above. When using “small”, move the mouse and see the box you’ll be previewing. Have “cloud” selected instead of “local” for the Preview method.
