Thank you so much. I was confused between Topaz Photo AI and Gigapixel. And although I don't see all of this video but the comparison in 8:45 help me alot. The rock look in Gigapixel is much more better than Photo AI side. So I decide to choose Gigapixel for my work.

HI Sup. Overall, both are equally effective at up scaling good-to-okay quality images. Topaz Photo AI is better at up scaling soft and noise-ridden images. But, it will cost you twice as much.

Such a good comparison. Thank you.

Thanks for the compliment Martin, I'm glad you found it useful.

What about black and white photos? Particularly older images.

Hi Life.. It's very good, but I plan to be more scientific about this in a future video.

Gigapixel is particularly good at upscaling images that have already been down scaled. So, when you test it by downscaling and then upscaling you are actually making it look more impressive than it is when used on an original image

Hi Tobias. Oddly enough, I have observed the opposite in that the larger, more detailed the image, the better the upscale. For this reason, I've often wondering if my testing criteria is too tough.

@@silentpeakphoto1845 hmm, that’s not been my experience at all…. When grabbing compressed photos it has had some incredible results but when using it on high resolution raws the relative gain is always far less impressive. Of course the high resolution image is going to look way better overall, but the relative increase in clean detail is way lower than using it on a compressed image

1:38 - more like typical upscaling algorithms do this interpolation, whereas generative AI models like what Gigapixel uses, will detect the subject matter, materials and such, and will then try to redo the same image in higher resolution with generated details.

322ss - You're absolutely right. Thanks for watching.

Lightrooms' super resolution tends to generate weird artefacts for me when itry anything complex ... gigapixel all the way, for me

Indeed. Super Resolution is decent but Gigapixel is measurably better.

im not gonna watch the video. so which is the best one guys

Hi Moenesca - Gigapixel - by a wide margin.
