The enlargements are incredibly sharp already, and absolutely no image post processing has been done, so the final result will be even better…Įven if the enlargements are modest, AI Gigapixel outperforms the competition. Topaz just keep on improving this software and it is now in the must have category. These results are better than when I previously tested AI Gigapixel. Not any more! The latest version is so good that I will do all enlargements with it. Previously, I had thought the difference for modest enlargements wasn’t enough to justify purchasing AI Gigapixel. Notice that the enlarged image is sharper than the original! Even the 300% enlargement is! The more modest 150% enlargement is also better than the original! This has real implications – it means that any enlargement is better done in AI Gigapixel than any other tool.

The Results – Part 2īut how do the AI Gigapixel enlargements compare to the original image? The results may surprise you. There is no question that a really excellent print could be made from its results – a FIVE FOOT wide print, no less. The 18,000 pixel version is well over a gigabyte in size, so it is a real test of the software and both have handled the file successfully.īut look at how much better Topaz AI Gigapixel has done!The clarity and sharpness of its results are just unbelievable. 9,000 x 6,000 Pixel Image Centre Centre of the Image Upscaled to 150% Edge Edge of the Image Upscaled to 150% 18,000 x 12,000 Pixel Image Centre Centre of the Image Upscaled to 300% Edge Edge of the Image Upscaled to 300% The Results – Part 1Īffinity Photo has done a good job with the upscaling. In the comparisons, the Affinity Photo image is on the Left and the Topaz AI Gigapixel Image is on the Right. Now let’s have a look at the results of the upscaling. It’s a decently sharp image, both in the centre and the edge. The Original Image Edge of the Original Image Centre of the Original Image I’ve not sharpened it at all – it is as it came out of the camera. Here’s the original image – both a small version and 100% crops of the centre and edges. Let’s compare the results: Original Image My previous tests showed that Affinity Photo is one of the best image upscaling programs available – every bit as good as Photoshop. I then resized the photo to 9,000 x 6,000 pixels, for a 30 inch print and 18,000 by 12,000 pixels for a huge 60 inch print – five feet wide!Īs a comparison, I also resized it using Affinity Photo’s Lanczos3 re-sampling method to the same dimensions. The native picture is 6,000 by 4,000 pixels, which is good for a 20 inch print at 300 DPI. I took the sample photo with the 24mp Canon EOS M50 using a high quality telephoto lens.

My sample photo is one of the dreaded ‘brick wall’ pictures – useful because the repetitive structure of the wall allows the edges and centre of the picture to be compared.
