Resolved in v1.1.0 | Upscale Bug | Broken Scale Factor

This aspect used to work perfectly:

Load multiple smaller images of various sizes, then choose the “longest edge” say 9200 pixels, then export and all would end up … at 9200 pixels either height or width.

Now this seems totally ignored most of time and either a default 2x or something is applied EVEN though it says on export the size

Here’s example

I don’t want 2x here but I can’t remove, I am typing in 9200px below

I can see it correctly here

I then hit export. It processes, looks good

Except every dang image ended up 2x .. not 9200

This is Sooooooo.. frustrating now especially when was never an issue before.

I added this to a ticket we have for this issue. We will reach out here once we release the fix.

Starting last week, Gigapixel is no longer changing the file. It shows increasing the file and saves exactly the same sized file. The old version worked fine for years. What’s up?

Hi Ken.

Topaz Gigapixel 1.0.7 is working as expected with the Standalone version and as a Plugin for myself.

I don’t work for Topaz but, I am curious to know are you using the Standalone version or as a plugin within Lightroom, Photoshop or similar software

Standalone version:

If you were using the Standalone version on saving the image Gigapixel adds information to the image file for example; you may have a Prefix added then > Image File Name then > a Suffix added then > very compressed-2x-faceai v2

Are you seeing that extra information on the saved files within the original folder and if you added a Prefix then the file will save in a different position within the Folder File list.

In addition, have you checked you’re not saving to a different location Folder.

Plugin:

If it’s a Plugin then can you provide more information on the steps you are taking before, during and after this behaviour.

In the meantime, have you tried running the Installation again in case you have missing models for instance.

Here’s some information from Topaz about Models

And Troubleshooting

Hope this helps and have a happy New Year :confetti_ball:

The new file is saved with the suffix, but the size has not changed. The file size is exactly the same and the dimensions have not changed. This is the stand alone version. I downloaded it again and it does the same thing. I’ve used the old version for years and it works. This is on Mac running the latest version and maybe that Mac update changed something.

I’ve checked all the settings and see nothing that would affect the enlargement.

Awesome checking it out now. Sorry about lack of video, 2 things made it tricky: exact issue didn’t show up (similiar but not always when planned and felt was GPU memory getting corruped / closing app typically fixed).. 2 was I went away and didn’t use for about a month until last week. :slight_smile:

This version seems painfully slow in redfine/creative mode… what used to take 14 seconds or so is taking many minutes

yeah I hate to bring bad news but this is unbearably slow now for offline rendering. Most images to scale 2x times took about 20 seconds more or less. This estimates 19s but is stetching into 3 minutes now. Closed app and tried again. Going to reboot and see if make a difference. If still same will need to uninstall and see I can back down from this version

Reboot for whatever reason seem resolve rendering time. Back to 20/30 seconds for a 2x redefine/creative render.
