Resize AI does have a minor "smoothing slider" which in the example was set at 100% and there was still unacceptable artifact.Welcome to my Topaz Gigapixel AI review version 6.1 and is it still worth it in 2022? If you want to know exactly what was in the update for version 6.1 click here to read my blog post on it.
Overall, I think that for these WL images it's fairly close though I give the edge to Gigapixel because of the ability to customize to a greater extent.įor enlargements involving faces, I wouldn't bother with Resize AI whereas Gigapixel offers options for adjustment (defaults way too aggressive). Additionally, Gigapixel has settings for portraits which are missing for in Resize AI. In general, I would say they are very close and Resize adds a bit more contrast (sharpening) as a default. The attached images have a watermark over the Gigapixel image so one has to assess other areas. NR could always be added when integrated into On1 PR. While one can add additional sharpening, I chose not to and left the defaults. I did find that for specific images, one model usually performed better than the other. In contrast, Topaz AI has limited settings and essentially has two AI models. I’m sure one could tweak these to achieve a “best image”.
Gigapixel offers a lot of user adjustments from five or so models, NR, etc. Now these images are specific to birds/wildlife so they have small, high frequency elements (hair/feathers). +1 Resize AI.Įxporting was a wash and interestingly it was either very close or a slight edge to Gigapixel AI. Also, Gigapixel like all of Topaz software re-renders every time the image is moved thus producing a worse user experience. These were small images so they should have rendered quickly and Resize AI was typically 90-100% faster. First, based on the multiple images I tested, Resize AI won on initial rendering. So, I was waiting for the latest round of Gigapixel AI to test against Resize AI and I have some sample images to share.
