Topaz has just released
version 5.5.0 of Gigapixel AI (free update for existing users). Here are the release notes:
Major Features•AI engine has been brought into Gigapixel. This should greatly improve performance on modern hardware.
•All models updated for those on newer hardware. These models should be slightly sharper than the legacy models
•New model - “Very Compressed”
•New trial flow. No more 30-day trials, but instead a trial will place a watermark on your image
•“Send Feedback” option in the Help menu - have a feature request you want to send to the dev team? Use this option to send us a 500-character report.
Improvements•Interactive tooltips have been added for each model, to get a quick sense of what each can do
•Controls tutorial has been slightly updated
•Better caching when saving
Fixes•Preview window should not show as blank before previewing for the first time
•Filenames should elide in the middle instead of the left
•DNG support should be fully-functional for those coming from pre-5.4.x versions of Gigapixel
•“Loading images” text no longer overlaps the FileListView caret
•Saving text has been changed to show you what the program is doing when processing (downloading, processing, finishing, etc.)
