How satisfied are you with Gigapixel AI?

[sirhawkeye64]

Was thinking bout starting to use this for the times when I need to shoot cropped images in my 24MP camera (which results in 10MP images, so something like 3900x2500 pixels) to try to get closer to what I could get with the full resolution (even though I know that doubling this will mean ending up with a 40MP image, not a 20-24MP image).

But if Gigapixel AI can produce results that are worth of printing at say 300 dpi for close up viewing (say between 12-24 inches distance) then I may not be a s concerned about always using a high res 45MP camera, but upscaling still images is still sometihng of new territory for me and I haven't kept up on it too much, but have read that the AI models used today are quite good. (I already own Gigapixel AI as it was part of a promo deal for Black Friday last year).

FWIW Most of what I'd be shooting would be travel photography, although I don't know if this really matters from an upscaling standpoint, but it will include things like architecture and other things with more fine detail/textures.

Thoughts? I would only really be doing 2x scaling on my 10-24MP images.

I think it’s a fab program!

I have TPAI which also has upsizing but if I want to upsize I use GIG as it processes much faster on my old underpowered and under system requirements iMac.

It generally does a good to great job on most images . . . sometimes you get varying results with varying images.

I general upsize at 2X but you can check the 1X upsize as well as sometimes that provides adequate performance . . . or 4X if more kick required!

I don't use it on all my images but when I want the sharpening kicked up a notch GIG usually does the job!

And I just received a notice that a new upgraded version 7.4 is available with enhanced facial processing.

GIGAPIXEL 7.4

And a free trial is available . . .

Give it a look . . . I think it is a great program!
