However, when taking photos of a large choir (100+) from the other end of a large cathedral I used Ai-GP to try to get more definition as the individual people were very small in the image. In this instance it can 'recognise' what is supposed to be there i.e. For example, it works well when there is a regular structure such as a building or roof tiles. In my limited experience Gigapixel AI can be excellent if the subject is right for it.

But when it comes to exhibiting fine feather detail, I often can't get close enough (I'm fascinated with that sort of thing.

While I am finding purpose for a few Topaz AI apps, I usually tend to get what I want out of an image with LR (or LR's Enhanced DNG) alone. The point was to exhibit how well a significant crop like that could be fashioned - rather, to express how impressed I was with that up-sized crop. I read there is a version for video, but this isn't that. The original was untouched, the larger was worked on after it was up-sized, getting away with a much stronger sharpening in LR than I'd normally apply. Original picture from you comment sharpened in Photoshop. If you have specific needs for such a program, Topaz Gigapixel AI is the only one (I know of) for photos.ĭid you try sharpening the original picture so that both look about the same? Is it possible? I have the feeling that Gigapixel not only enlarges the picture but heavily sharpens it. It isn't a supplement for sharpening tools. So if I understand it correctly Gigapixel is meant for enlarging the picture.

AI algorithms get more and more intelligent, but they can only guess about what is supposed to be there. They can't create stuff that isn't there in the first place. Some software work better than others, some are even usable, but one thing is true for all.

For example to upscale 1080p content for your 4k TV. Tools like this are being used for video. I would need a side by side comparison to really tell you if I like it or not. The test shots show what exactly? Is the first picture without Topaz Gigapixel AI and the second one a zoomed in version with the Topaz Gigapixel AI?
