Introducing Gigapixel Pro Licenses
This release ties to a huge change for our users by introducing Gigapixel Pro licenses! Coming July 18th, you can bring Gigapixel to your business or team with a more exclusive license program, unique features, and catered 1-1 support. If you have questions, be sure to email us at enterprise@topazlabs.com

Seed Regeneration
Now you have the ability to review generative “seeds” from upscaling through our Recovery AI model.
To access the seed regeneration, run Recovery first to process. Then after the image has completed processing, press the Regenerate button again. Please note that once you re-generate, you will not be able to access the previous output result.
Updated Resize Mode
A part of our agenda to improve your print and overall upscaling workflow, we’ve adjusted resize mode to show width and height along with the scale.
You can now adjust scale and see the dimensions change automatically as well as be able to adjust the individual height and width.
Adding your own Custom ICC Profile
We’ve increased user features for your Custom ICC Profile in the Exports Panel. Not only can you change the color space of your exported file but you can also import your own ICC profiles letting them be a part of your default choices in the drop down menu.
You can also open a specific ICC Profile Directory to add or remove those profiles at any time.
Command Line Interface
We’ve heard your requests for CLI to Gigapixel for quite some time and finally have the ability to implement this special feature into the application. We are thrilled to bring this feature to our Gigapixel PRO license users to really scale and produce better, faster results for their team projects.

Crop Tool Updates
We’ve taking bigger strides to update the Crop tool for better upscaling and more precise sizing and dimensions.
When using the Recovery AI Model, you can now crop an image and process the cropped version instead of the whole image minimizing the processing time significantly. Please note that if you crop the image again, you’ll need to re-process the image.
The crop rotation also now can be snapped to 15 degree increments by holding shift button.
Light Mode
Brighter settings are here! We hope that by bringing in Light mode it may help reduce eye strain and improve readability in different lighting conditions, such as bright environments or prolonged use at night. Not to mention we know that colors can look differently against a dark or light backdrop and this feature should help ease this process more.
Change this mode anytime using the Preferences panel located in the Gigapixel main menu.
Setting up the System Color Scheme will default the application’s mode to replicate what your computer preferences show.
Thank you again for supporting us and making Gigapixel gigagreat!
