Iā€™m on a Mac 10.15.6 and using Gigapixel AI 5.1.0 standalone when saving it overwrites the original file even though the settings are to save with a suffix. This is a pain. How do i change that?
See Screenshot by Lightshot

Filter plugins canā€™t resize images unfortunately. It has to be under the automation tab because itā€™s an automation plugin.

I changed mode to scale, saved a file, went back to height mode, and now it works correctly.

Thanks,

Please, please, pleaseā€¦ is there a way to use this in CS6?

How are you opening the image? For example, are you using the File-> Open interface, dragging from the Finder onto the open application or using Open with from the Finder.

Currently, CS6 is not supported. The main reason for that is that it is no longer available for sale.

Yes, but there are a lot of us still using itā€¦

Yes I know, I still use it also but I understand why because it is now no longer supported by Adobe so, if there are any issues, it would be difficult to solve.

Yesterday, this happened every time in each of the ways you suggest as well as dragging and dropping from Bridge. Today, behaviour is as expected. The save dialogue has reappeared. Weird, but I am grateful!

The CS6 platform is actually quite stable and not part of an never ending upgrade cycle, so one can actually focus on image processing and not software maintenance. How can a legacy platform cause a problem, other automate plugins from others still work perfectly well on my system after years of trouble free service. I created manually a shortcut just to see whether it indeed wouldnā€™t work with CS6, shows up in the automate menu, but crashes when called. Sigh. I support the request for a CS6 automate plugin version.

When can gigaxipel auto-start its processing from command line?

now, you must manualy click start batch processing button even if processing starts from command line with filename parameter))

Same OS and version here with no issues either dragging and dropping to the source folder or using the Open button. Have you tried saving to a different folder? (or are you doing that anyway, unknowingly?)

See my response 4hr ago. All working again!

Can easily cause problems, especially with OS changes. The version of the Plugins SDK used to compile (I think 2015.5) doesnā€™t support CS6 as i was told.

Testing out v5.1.0 and I LOVE it so far :heart_eyes: But I have noticed a BIG issue with certain areas of an image becoming overly saturated resulting in ugly ā€œsplotchesā€. The affected areas tend to be within the blue-violet color range.

Please note the following are the original, from v4.4.5 and then 5.1.0:

v4.4.5

v5.1.0

Even if I turn off ā€œmaximum quality AI modelsā€, the issue remains:

Another example. I notice dark blue gets hints of red areas when processed, even though there was nothing red in the affected areas:

Original

v4.4.5

v5.1.0

One last example. The space scene now has a reddish tinge to it:

v4.4.5

v5.1.0

I hope this can be fixed!

I donā€™t know where to post this, but Iā€™m having trouble getting Gigapixel to run o my computer. It worked fine a few days ago, but now when I open it, it just sits on the background processes and nothing happens. (Video Enhancer still works fine, also, I have trial installations on both of them).

I looked for a solution online, but I couldnā€™t find anything. I already uninstalled and installed the software multiple times, but with no success. Even did a full uninstall deleting even the registry entries but still no success. Again, it worked fine a few days ago, and Video Enhancer is still working, so I donā€™t know what happened.

I have and Intel Core i5 9400F, 32GB RAM and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4Gb OC

Please, can someone help me? I also donā€™t know how to create posts here.

Hereā€™s a link to a print of the problem:

Hello @taylor.bishop,

I myself have difficulties with my own models sometimes because some inaccuracies occur at the interface between the GPU and the CPU.

You wrote:

ā€œā€¦ the issue itself is one of the more complex bugs to fixā€

Maybe instead of digging through kilometers of code in tensorflow, youā€™d better try adding another model to Gigapixel that will remove ā€œbanding artifactsā€ from the image, according to my concept:

This will be faster than fighting entropy in the form of machine errors :slight_smile: . and adding a trained filter shouldnā€™t slow down the entire engine in Gigapixel 5 too much.

Best Regards,
Lech Balcerzak

PS.
All the time I admire you for your determination and new ideas (eg bypassing the problem of not scaling images in the ā€œFilterā€ menu and designing the plugin as ā€œAutomateā€). Very tricky!

@AiDon OS changes are probably more a risk for Win10, hence also a reason for me to have remained with Win8.1 for my productive computer.
