Here are the details from Topaz Labs :

We are excited to share the results of a major update to the Recover model. Introducing Recover v2 ! Enjoy significantly better and faster results with Recover v2, available for both Local and Cloud.

Recover v2 is over 5x faster than the previous generation, and produces high quality results with far less artifacting than ever before.

500%+ speed boost on an Apple M3 Pro over Gen 1, and a better result in the end

This model still requires 8GB of VRAM to run, and we’ve hooking it up to cloud rendering for those with less powerful GPUs. When it comes to the cloud, you can also expect major reductions in price for renders with this new version of the Recover model.

Running a speed test? Please make sure to run a small preview first, as the model needs to load and will be slower on the first run.

Exploring your models is now simpler and more intuitive with our redesigned model interface, providing a smoother, more seamless experience. We’ve streamlined the UI to minimize excessive scrolling and enhance ease of use.

Take full control over your print layouts with the ability to easily adjust the cropped region in Gigaprint. The crop tool allows you to crop into your photo and rotate the crop between a vertical or horizontal orientation.

We’ve enhanced image optimization for Gigaprint to ensure your prints are sharper, more detailed, and ready for high-quality results. Use this slider to improve the lighting of your image to give it more brightness and contrast.

You may recall that Gigapixel would re-render when zooming into an already processed subregion in the Navigator. Now you can zoom in with smoothness and far less unnecessary re-rendering. This change went into Photo AI a few months back, and we’re excited to add this to Gigapixel. We will continue to refine the speed and performance of the preview.

Non-Pro Cloud Toggle

Some of our Gigapixel users love rendering locally so much, they never want to see the option to process in the cloud.
You’ve asked for it, and we are delivering you the ability to turn off cloud rendering in the UI entirely, even if you don’t own a Pro license. Pro licenses still retain the ability to force cloud rendering off for all sub-accounts, but now even those users with personal licenses can turn this off inside their preferences. Use this toggle to keep using the models that are locally rendered only.
