What's new in Topaz Gigapixel AI 7.0.1

  • Improved handling of updating from non-standard Gigapixel 6 installs
  • Fixed PNG not saving PPI information correctly
  • Fixed custom DCP profiles not applying to output DNG files
  • Updated lensfun definitions
  • Updated camera profiles for several cameras
  • Major support changes for the following:
  • Panasonic 95D

  • Sony ILCE-6700
  • Sony DSLR-A900
  • Olympus TG-7
  • Also updates HUE/LUT information for various cameras

New in Topaz Gigapixel AI 7.0.0 (Jan 18, 2024)

  • I’m excited to announce the new major update for Gigapixel! This update features a massive amount of changes under the hood, including an updated AI engine which should be faster and compatible with newer GPUs compared to 6.3.3, a UI refresh across the entire app, and updates to the Standard and High Fidelity models.
  • For Standard and High Fidelity v2 are have changed the following:
  • For Standard we’ve improved the deblur consistency (blurry patch issue)
  • For High Fidelity we’ve improved the grain preserving consistency for low denoise/remove jpeg sliders
  • For use cases requiring keeping original noise/grain, select this model and tune down the two sliders.
  • For High Fidelity we’ve fixed the tile blending artifacts
  • For both models we’ve fixed the tile artifacts on Apple Silicon Mac’s Neural Engine
  • In Photo we have an option to turn off Neural Engine but it will slow down processing
  • For quality in general, the models should be more generative
  • Another big change on the UI involves how images are selected and how controls are shown for those selected images. You can now use shortcuts like Ctrl/Cmd + A to select all and Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + A to deselect all images in the file list. When multiple images are selected, the controls in the right panel will now show a mixed state if the values between the images differ. For instance, if you select 2 images where one has a slider value of 50 and the other has a slider value of 75, the slider will show a blank box and a new “mixed state” slider design to indicate that the current selections have different values. You can then move the slider to apply a new identical value to both of the selected images if you want.
  • Important notes:
  • All preferences will be reset when updating to this version! Make sure to re-check your preferences (and check out the new ones too).
  • It is expected that you will need to re-authenticate with the updated version on first launch.
  • On first run models that were updated will re-download automatically. On subsequent runs if we detect invalid models it should auto re-download them.
  • Mac: The new minimum OS version is 11.0 (Big Sur). Due to the way the old in-app updater works, you may be offered an update while not on Big Sur. Unfortunately we cannot fix this case automatically, but users who need to re-install 6.3.3 can find the installers in this thread 2.
  • There really are too many changes to get into the weeds with, so instead of an exhaustive change log I’ve pulled out a few points.
  • Major changes:
  • Updated AI engine which should allow better compatibility and faster processing
  • Added Standard and High Fidelity v2 models
  • These models will eventually replace v1 models in time. If you have quality issues, please let us know.
  • Refreshed the UI with new design and controls
  • Updated preferences with new options
  • Note: This will fully reset your preferences
  • Notable additions:
  • Added panning and pinch to zoom gestures in preview
  • Added updated RAW preview handling (should be closer to Photo AI)
  • Added ability to capture before/after in split and side by side views
  • Added ability to move the file list up and down via dragging
  • Note: There is a known issue where removing/adding images causes it to snap back to the default position
  • Changed logic for selections
  • Changed controls to show mixed states if multiple images with different values are selected
