I may be confused on what it does. Is it only for cropping?

How fast/slow is the app. The other Topaz sharpening program I tried was really slow.

Every release this past year has sped all their programs up quite a bit... I may not be the best judge of that though, because I use a new M1 Mac... The tree major ones, Sharpen, Denoise and GigaPixel are now native M1 Mac compliant. Topaz has done quite a bit of work on those three programs this last year...
@Dawg Pics
You're going to see some spectacular price drops for Mac Minis in the next few weeks after Apple announces the new ones tomorrow... Especially the now out-dated Intel versions... Just be sure you get an M1 with the Apple chip and not the older Intel chips...
Fred, how much RAM will she need for Topaz and Adobe to work properly?
Here's what I did...
I selected 10 NEF files with high ISO settings
I batch processed those 10 images using Denoise... Each image took between 10 and 11 seconds to process... I did this using Denoise Stand-alone... Using Lightroom on the individual files to initiate Denoise individually took the same amount of time to return the processed images to Lightroom as a plug-in
I then batch processed those same files using GigaPixel to upscale those images 2X... Each of those images took between 21 and 24 seconds to upscale... Each process shows a progressing status bar as well as the actual time it takes as each file is processed... IOW, NOT the static stalled screen as in the past...while you twiddle your fingers wondering what's going on...
