TopazLabs A.I. Gigapixel 1.1 update released


TopazLabs released A.I. Gigapixel 1.1 update (you can get a free trial). Here is what’s new:

  • Expanded system compatibility with a CPU mode, which allows more users without a robust GPU to run A.I. Gigapixel on their machine.
  • 6 new  Artificial Intelligence models for different scaling (200%, 400%, 600%) across three settings for input image quality:
    – None – For high-quality images without noise, results in much better detail retention
    – Medium: Improved versions of the included enhancement models
    – High: For images with lots of noise and artifacts, produces a smoother artifact free enlargement while retaining and enhancing perceived details in the image.
  • Resolved issue with not retaining DPI sometimes
  • Resolved sizing issue with size not passing through correctly sometimes
  • Bug fixes (see changelog)
