Can you post this Gigapixel AI idea here:
The difference before sharpened or not can make quite a difference.
If you want as much resolution as possible, it’s better to give gigapixel an unsharpened image.
The output from Gigapixel is much finer when you don’t do a presharpen before upscale.
Presharpened in Capture One + Gigapixel
unsharpened before upscale Capture One + Gigapixel + Sharpen soft.

What do you find wrt doing a DeNoise (vs SAI) before using GAI?
I have used Photolab 4 before for denoising, the data it spits out can be processed well.
But it is advantageous to let Gigapixel do the last bit of noise (if any).
If you use Denoise before, you have to fade in a lot of the original file so that Gigapixel still has enough to read.

Hi Taylor,
I just used GAI 5.6.1 as a plugin to Ps CC 2021 (Win 10 desktop PC).
It did something I hadn’t seen before.
It’s not displaying the mode/model name in the upper left quadrant in Comparison View.
Any idea why that might be?
I tried clicking on that box then tried clicking on Std to have that operate there. No luck.
p.s. Just checked the Standalone and it’s doing the exact same thing. Doesn’t recognize that upper left quadrant as a usable view in Comparison View. And, no label there either.
I thought that was for the original?
Comparison View displays up to three different AI models simultaneously, letting you decide which one works best with your photos. We also ported a new feature from Video Enhance AI that allows you to view the same AI model in all three quadrants using varying parameters.
I think AiDon is right, the top left is the original view?!
Hi Don, That may be that in GAI we can’t adjust the top left quadrant. But it was always labeled. Just like what you’ve posted in your reply.
My comparison view - all of a sudden - has no such label (I don’t think it shows one in my snip); in both Ps plugin & standalone versions. That’s what’s puzzling. I tried to get it to display what that box is with no luck…
Any ideas why my upper left quadrant is label less? Thx.
Pls see my reply to Don above… I’m open to soln approaches! 
Have no idea why it isn’t labeled…
Odd, eh. I thought perhaps it was a flukey new design. So that’s why I questioned it. Hmmm.
Thx for the reply!

I checked my GAI 5.6.1 and it is the same as yours with no label for the original. I did stand alone version only (I don’t use Photoshop).

Thx for checking! Always reassuring when not just me.
I even uninstalled & reinstalled to see if it would help. It didn’t.
im running a macbook pro 13" with M1 chip and 16gb ram. i noticed that there is a huge memory leak when using M1 chip as ai processor. the app will end up using up to 35gb of ram and swap usage will go nuts up to 25gb and my ssd is being thrashed with writes because of this… to render one picture my laptop wrote over 90Gb on the ssd because of this.
setting the ai processor to cpu fix’s this but render time is just way to long. been running for over 30 min and not even half done.
can we please get this fixed or better yet. have a native m1 build so we don’t have to use rosetta
Please make it so that on Windows the icon in the task bar fills with this blue horizontal colour that indicates progress like many other windows apps do. It would be really useful on a long batch job when turning to other programs and leaving the software running in the background to know when it has finished.

Using Diffusion Models Google AI shows some amazing things starting from 32x32 and 64x64 pixel images. Read it here.
Can Topaz use some of these techniques?

With v5.5.2 I was able to enhance multiple images very quickly. I updated to v5.6.1 and that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Is this an intentional change?
