To enable this, go into Photoshop and under Preferences > Plugins enable "Additional Plug-ins folder" and then just navigate to the Topaz folder under Programs or Applications on your computer. The second problem is that even once installed, sometimes they don't show up in the Photoshop Filters Panel. Just double click on them there and it will proceed with the install. The program is still on your computer and you simply need to go to the Downloads folder and you will find it there - the file names are pretty obvious. When downloading, if you don't launch the DL's program right away from the DL notification tab at the bottom of your browser, it disappears (that's true for all downloaded content).

Here are the two main things people are missing and it's about 95% from Windows users: I might pull up the original and check.I am getting at least a half dozen emails a day from people having trouble installing the Topaz stuff after buying. Had I adjusted the defaults I think most of it could have been avoided. The worst was in one image it looks like was enlarged about 350% and very detailed. In general there's nothing unsightly that jumps out in the majority of them. I can find some oddities in a few spots on a couple of them, but it's in odd patterned areas for the most part, spots that wouldn't be obvious at a glance. I just went back thru to look at a few of mine. In those instances where I've used it for my own photos I haven't noted anything I would consider detrimental but they are rarely if ever enlarged more than 200-300%.ĮDIT: I think it's inevitable that enlarging any image could introduce a few artifacts in particularly detailed areas.

Customers generally find the output as good or better than expected, unaware of what we did to process the image which means the software is doing its job. Still Gigapixel has performed much better than our former go-to Genuine Fractals and its progeny owned by On1. If the client isn't happy with the results then I make it their responsibility to supply better artwork. (I had a designer who would sometimes say "You can't see it from my house") That's a more forgiving scenario obviously, with lower expectations considering the sources.

or larger for product promotion walls, window displays, posters, banners, backdrops, etc. Where I find it most helpful is with smallish customer files, something under one or two meg where I'm expected to reproduce it 5x, 10x. Have you had any trouble with artefacts in Gigapixel? I'm sure I remember seeing some unusual effects in certain example images that made me wonder if I'd be entirely happy with it.I haven't, but I probably use GP differently than you might.
