Gigapixel AI v4.9.0

I input TIFFs to keep up the quality and output TIFF as well. Finished TIFFs were between 150-300+MB.

I tried to use 4.9 on a faster SSD iMac but it crashed repeatedly on file #1.

I will need to do more experiments with 4.9 to see if there was a problem with my source files (they had been scans of old postcards I received then colorized online and returned as progressive JPEGs; I then ran them through standalone Impression for some artsy and saved as TIFF, then did GP at 4x awhile ago with v4.4.5).

If I had used my own original JPEGs, I might not have had problem (?).

Here is an example of the artsy (reduced).

I just checked and my finished file was a 248 MB jpeg. About 20 - 30 seconds of the process time was saving the file on my standard hard drive. Nice painterly effect on your picture.

Hi all, we’ve released a new version of Gigapixel. You can find the changelog here.

Thanks!
