AI upscaling has been around for a while. Photoshop Super Resolution Versus Topaz Gigapixel AI Currently available in Camera Raw 13.2 and coming soon to Lightroom and Lightroom Classic, Super Resolution uses a machine learning model to “intelligently enlarge photos while maintaining clean edges and preserving important details.” In practice, it’s a one-click way to quadruple your photo’s megapixel count, while retaining much more detail than “dumb” upscaling, like bicubic and nearest neighbor methods. The competition is more expensive and can't compete.If you’re not caught up on Photoshop’s notes, Adobe Camera Raw has received a new feature called Super Resolution. No, with the 15 Dollars discount it's a 'bargain'. I like the idea of non-aggressive sharpening and the lack of additional noise creation ! supposedly Nvidia and Google tech could achieve !?īut I sure will buy the license after my 1 month trial (hopefully then still with that 15 USD discount). I personally don't see additional non-existing textures being created like e.g.

if possible with some upsizing examples to prove it.īut is would not really dare to claim this is an 'AI-type' soft. If this is not the best (in general), then I sure would like to know which other software is. It does not create much additional noise (that may surely happen with some other upsizing algorithms).

My brief personal testing reveales, IMHO, it to be a near perfect middle-ground between sharpness and detail (with default settings of other softwares). specialized resizers like ON Resize /fractal and others like Photozoom should be compared against, not Faststone etc.
