Gigapixel v5.0.0

Why on earth would I consider it special? I only used it because you did so to demonstrate the poor output.

Maybe this has been discussed already but I just notice an annoying problem. I use Bridge to organize and find images and when I select an image and chose ā€œOpen in Gigapixel 5ā€ it only works when GP is not running. And when it works, GP fails to save the image and hangs.
Has anybody else noticed this?
I can upload the log files if anybody is interested…

Maybe I don’t understand what you said. Could you show what exactly you have changed after installing the new drivers, and what exactly was changed and worked as well as it does on any other image.

I changed nothing after installing the new driver - I simply re-ran your image through Gigapixel and this time the output was much closer to the preview. Not perfect, but if I hadn’t closely compared the two I doubt I would have complained about the output. I’ve done dozens of these today and I am NOT seeing the poor quality output that you demonstrated.

In the example you showed, the output looked barely better than the original (and in some areas possibly just the same) but definitely worse than the preview. Here’s a comparison of your original and my output viewed at the same size:

You have an option to open in Gigapixel from Adobe Bridge? I didn’t know about that. I can’t seem to find the feature. Can you post a screenshot of how it looks, the menu. Please. Thanks.

My routine is to drag directly from Bridge into already open Gigapixel.

You may see a ā€œsnapbackā€ like it didn’t take, but wait just a moment.

Yeah that is what I do as well and works. Drag and drop from Bridge to Gigapixel.

I see, you were looking for a command in Bridge itself.

Yeah. Based on how it was described by hummersallad I thought there is an option to choose to open an image in GP like you can with Photoshop. But as far as I’m aware GP does not work as plug in or anything like that.

Hi Paul

Can I just ā€˜check’ something with you?

What version are you refering to when you say the latest driver v451.48 (?), is that Studio or Gamer???

FWIW I install Studio as needed.

I use Studio - there was an update a couple of days ago.

Just right click on any image and select ā€œOpen withā€

GigaPixel will show up in the list.
At least on Mac.

I seem to be missing that feature. I only have Photoshop listed but not other apps. I am on windows so I’m not sure if its related to OS.

PaulM, please try to increase x4 this and show 100% crop result and preview.

Yes, the v451.48 was released on 24th June :slight_smile:

PS installed now…:+1:

Not a big issue. It doesn’t work! And maybe it’s not even supposed to work. :smiley:

I think part of the difference in results we’re having is from the way we have the noise and blur reduction parameters set. I have less artifacts in the preview, and the final result is only marginally degraded (less micro-grain). If I use the Natural setting then the preview and the result are a very close match, though a little less distinct than what this achieved.

This is using my RTX 2070 Super GPU with High Memory and Max Quality AI Models.

There is no pain and I don’t see how it can be considered a bug, the point was that if you have a crap image, nothing can provide the information that isn’t there. Using heavily compressed mages will never work as information is missing, and what I see here with some of the TIF & PNG images used as input to GigaPixel is that, because of the result from GigaPixel, they were created from compressed images before input.
