On that note, I will add that the images you are about to see were post-processed in these various apps on a 2013 MacBook Air (i7, 8 gigs RAM, Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB graphics card), not an IBM Summit Supercomputer, so chances are you have much better hardware around your neck and on your desk.

Today I am exclusively using (somewhat better!) 12.2 megapixel images from a 2011 Canon Rebel T3 (shot with stock Canon zoom lenses). Photo RAW has a Resize module that incorporates GF technology.Īlso, in my previous blog post I concentrated on older, low-megapixel images (1, 4 and 6MP), the type that are most often in need of this type of up-rezzing technology for modern output and use. ON1 boasts a long history in the image-resizing business, going way back to its acquisition of 1990s technology Genuine Fractals in 2005 (later re-branded as “Perfect Resize” both are now obsolete in terms of new installs and license activation). This time around I am introducing ON1’s Photo RAW 2018.5 into the mix. My previous blog post showed some comparison between Photoshop’s Image Size functionality (with Preserve Details 2.0 and light noise reduction selected) and Topaz Gigapixel. Gigapixel but we are! Use coupon “plugsnpixels” here to save 15% off the $99.99 retail price (this discount also applies to ALL Topaz products).

( Note: Topaz is not promoting a coupon code or discount for A.I. The only thing IMO that would further the improvement would be to vectorize the image data. In my last blog post I did my first tests with it and was literally amazed at the quality I was getting when upsizing nearly 20-year-old 1-megapixel digital images by 600%. Gigapixel has been proving to be extremely popular, with an overwhelming response to its release.
