Revision: C

Description I've been using Topaz DeNoise for a month or so and I am really impressed with the software. I decided to trial Gigapixel and applied a 2x UpSample to this image. It's pretty cool. I'm not sure it is worth spending $100 on, but it does amuch better job than the rescale tool in PI. What do you think?
