Could it be that your image had already been scaled up by another application? In my experience, Gigapixel doesn’t work well or work at all in such a case.
Navigator panel Image disappears in the latest version and does not return and happens right at beginning of image processing. This would be my third or fourth update and in all previous versions it was there with no issues. Manual update does nothing. Using MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 on iMac (27-inch, Late 2013). Is there a way to return to the previous version until this can be resolved?
What is not 100% clear is which earlier version you were using and wish to re-install?
Also, as all the most recent versions have been delivered as a “full offline installer” as such have you not kept the installer?
PS as far as I am aware, because it each of the newest (most recent ones) version release is being allocated its own thread…you will find the appropriate full installer download at the OP of each thread.
Hi jkihn, thanks for the report. I see the bug you’re talking about when only processing one image - in the meantime, you can toggle the preview window twice with the Preview button at the top to get the image to show back up in the navigator window.
This is unfortunately a limitation of the AI model we use for upscaling, since it’s tailored particularly to scaling images and the “clean up” it does is a nice side effect of it. With that said - DeNoise did a pretty awesome job with this image I ran it through DeNoise then upscaled it with Gigapixel
If DeNoise can get rid of such bloated JPEG atrocities - nice! Gotta test it out!
Such approach destroyed the folds on the shirt though - probably because DeNoise does that in its “normal” mode (Night mode keeps such things).
That said, I’d like to ask - is JPEGtoRAW AI still in development? And if yes - is it going to take on such atrocities?
Wait, wait, you’re saying, that this great “deJPEG” filtering in Gigapixel (especially great on anime/manga images, but not only) is here by accident? Whoa
I can also report that latest Gigapixel crashes, if the image which was in the queue and has been processed at least once, was re-saved elsewhere, and then dropped into the app again (which didn’t add it, which is understandable), and, after hitting [Process], Gigapixel crashed on that image, since the image in memory and image on the disk were different
any chances for getting improvements for text image up-scaling?
For such as above mentioned complicated Upscale Projects, I tend to get passable results using Gigapixel, Denoise AI and some usage of Affinity Photo to trick the AI and to mask and blend the outcome from all programs together.
