We’re excited to release an updated version of Gigapixel which further improves our color accuracy across the board, as well as fixes for various issues on a few important input and output file formats.
We are continuing to make Gigapixel better every day behind the scenes.
Please share your amazing upscaling results in the thread below, and let us know if you have any ideas on how to improve the application.
Comment below to share any feedback or report any issues you encounter with this release. We’ll be updating Gigapixel regularly to address your feedback and any issue reports.
Cropped the image for Recovery, maybe too small to get the preview block? I had to click “Run Recovery” – which is confusing, what is the semantic difference between Run and Export? Run should say “Preview”.
Feature Request: have default scaling dimension option for “longest side” in addition to width and height (to avoid having to separate portrait and landscape images into different batches).
I just did another quick test, this time rotating an already horizontal photo to (sideways) vertical.
The top and bottom handles do not work, except to make the entire crop area bigger or smaller until it hits the sides (as if it’s trapped in Ratio mode).
I did do the lazy in-app update (which I had stopped doing until it began working better). This report was from my 2023 M2 Mac Mini/Ventura).
Right now I am trying on another computer (2017 Intel iMac, Ventura) with the lazy update-in-place, same issue.
Next I’ll try a complete reinstall.
Reinstall, same issue.
I’d also like to request more obvious snapping at the 0/45/90/180 rotations (the angles reported by GP are entirely different as well, I believe this was discussed elsewhere).
Overall it works well, but two bugs are affecting the processing I am attempting…
As others have reported, in various ways, Crop gets stuck in size or position.
Recovery mode still does not work with Crop. This should not be difficult – save the cropped image as a temp file and recover it. One of the best possible uses of this mode is to crop something out of larger image and improve the resulting low-res piece of the image. It can do the Recover previews on a part of the image, so it should be possible.
Thank you for confirming. I’ll hold off upgrading until at least Christmas time then, gives plenty of time to fix bugs and improve features such as recovery mode. My secondary computer is too slow for Topaz.
any suggestions for how you’d want to see crop improved. i know we got a laundry list but never hurts to hear if there’s something specific you’re looking for.
I would prefer that the custom crop would work as it does in PhotoAI. A user should be able to move each border separately, as well as the corners. At present moving a corner collapses the whole cropping area.
