![First Look: Topaz Labs GIGAPIXEL 7! [AI-powered Upscaling Tutorial]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9y330miKVhg/mqdefault.jpg)
I bought Gigapixel AI a few weeks ago. EVERY time I use it, I’m amazed at the results. No more need to buy full frame cameras!
It is completely amazing how you can sharpen and denoise "blurry" pictures making them tack sharp. I will save so much money know not spending thousands on lenses and expensive camera bodies. For those of us that like to take photos, we are living in some wonderful times now.
Thanks for recommending this Olivio I went and purchased gigapixels and find the results are super for those blurry handheld photos….might put away the tripod for a while!
Thanks for the great video!
Thanks so much for that tip about converting the pictures I converted all my 1080P HD video down to 854 * 480 and I did five times as many pictures today as I did yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got this in December and I think it’s great. Works great on close crops and also on my older photos from my 3 and 5 megapixel cameras. The results are stunning.
Awesome :) I never thought about using if for crops until I talked with my mother about here photo editing
😎'yeah i just bought it yesterday
If you want to divide your screen with 2 app just press Windows key + left arrow and Windows key + right arrow for the other one.
This is help you a lot, not only with time, but precision.
👍👍👍
I'm trying to use this to upscale video and get the Crispest best 4K resolution I can.... Can you tell me what the best settings are keeping in mind that I intend to use an 854 by 480 image sequence cuz you said...to start off smaller... in your tutorial... Also keeping in mind that I like the cartoony look that it puts on video with the very compressed setting... And when I upscaled an 854 by 480 image sequence four times with the very compressed I did get some glitching
very good)
Thanks Olivio!
You are very welcome :)
So bummed...I thought I'd try the free trial but had trouble opening the program. Topaz Labs support could not figure out why so in the last email; they said was my computer is not powerful enough. Oh well, sounded like a cop-out to me. I don't have the greatest system, but Affinity programs work fine along with a massive music editing program.
Keep up the awesome work Olivio...you're the best "my friend"
Thank you. Sorry to hear that this didn't work out for you
First time viewer. Can you please explain the steps for your trick. I got confused when you said you were upscaling, then downscaling, then upscaling. Are you saying you upscale it, then save it as jpeg and then just change the size of the image?
Is there a way to use it as a plugin for A.P.?
This version of Gigipixel AI is by far their best. I've been using it for about 2 years to increase size to elements I use in composite/layer work. Observations:
1) Works very well with skin and hair. 2) Not so much with eyes, and really weird sometimes with teeth, fingers and toes. Sometimes teeth and fingers come out "uncanny-valley." That said, I've developed some 'fixes' to de-monster some aspects of the A.I,, which has been a lot of fun. (mostly taking out too many 'lines' in the fingers, etc.)
Great Feedback. Yes, Gigapixel has a nag for enhancing lines and making things look rather drawn than photographed on occasion. Reducing details in these areas is actually a smart idea :)
How does it compare against ON1 Resize?
Excellent video, I like the idea of reducing the image before processing with Gigapixel. Is it possible to batch process with Gigapixe? Many thanks Dave, Cornwall UK.
Absolutely.
It's good, but it doesn't replace a professional camera, or prime glass. I've used it, and love using it because it enhances my already sharp pictures taken with a Canon 1DX MK II, and 5DsR.
Still no Affinity Photo plugin.
I use it sometimes...
Have to be carefull, for some pictures you get unnatural results rather quickly.
On picture of the moon for example, you get unwanted artefacts...
Yes that's true. It's a bit of hit and miss. You need to test different AI models and I suppose that they are not trained too much on the Moon - but you can give feedback with the smileys after every result and they will improve the AI over time :)
Question....Im lookin to get Gigapixel AI mostly to print my images larger than 3 feet. I have a 55mb images and I like to print larger than 24x36. If I go larger I think it will get pixelated. Do you think this program will help already large files so you can print bigger images? Thank you.
24x36 feet? For that size you would actually use a 72 DPI resolution, because people would stand far away when looking at the image and the file size would be very large at 300 dpi
I have experience printing images on banners. The higher the resolution the better. Optical mixing as Olivio suggests does not work. Scaling up 72 dpi just creates blur. Most printers I work with prefer 600dpi . I transfer large files using wetransfer.
@@karinobojkovits7735 do you have experience printing images the size of a house front? Because nobody would print that on 600 dpi.. The file would be gigantic and for no reason. 600 dpi is good for very fine details wenn you are up close to it. If you stand further away you need less resolution. The only exception would be large prints where you still stand close, like in a subway walk tunnel
@@OlivioSarikas I have printed a backdrop for a play. Basically the length of the stage. Continuous print on vinyl like a panoramic shot. Similarly backdrop for stands at expos. Printed on vinyl. Usually print 300dpi. Art prints on art paper smaller sizes A0 they prefer 600dpi.
@@karinobojkovits7735 Well, maybe there was a reason why they wanted a stage size print in that high resolution. But that's not industry standard. For more information read this Post from an actual Banner Print Company: www.bannerworld.co.uk/blog/artwork-setup/what-dpi-setting-should-i-use-for-a-banner/
How do upgrades (not updates) to newer versions work? Does a one time payment get you free upgrades for life?
go to topazlabs.com and click on pricing to see the options. It's a bit complex to explain, so this is easier
Topaz has changed the way I shoot. I can take my older, crop sensor cameras into sketchy situations and get results that are comparable to images from my more expensive full frame sensor cameras. I'm going to try the trick with reduced resolution.
Absolutely. These new AI programs really push the limits of what smaller Sensors can Achieve
I do have gigs pixel. I have used it a few times. It works great. I will have to watch your video again cuz I’m not really sure what you are talking about making the photo low resolution first.
what I mean is that in some cases exporting the image at a lower resolution. Let's say from 4k down to 720p actually gives very nice and fast results and a usable resolution.
Sir, you are a genius!
I use the holy Topaz Trinity: Denoise, Gigapixel, Sharpen. These programs are magic.
I understand you recommend low resolution mode for heavy crops?
I shoot mosty birds in flight, with heavy cropping involved. Almost always i find the heavy compression mode somewhat better.
Do you think i should use the low resolution more?
Thank you, especially for all your Affinity video's as well, much appreciated!!
Do you know if you can use this software with Affinity Photo or does it need to be a stand alone?
From what I could find online it does not work as a plugin with affinity photo. But since the AI needs a considerable amount of computing power to render the new image, that's probably better
@@OlivioSarikas From a work flow perspective how would you use both? Which first?
@@LiseWolfe That depends a bit on the image. Details need to be visible in the image for the AI to react to it. So it might be a good idea to improve the image a bit before sending it to Gigapixel. However it's also important to not overdo it, because Gigapixel can also enhance these changes. I have seen that too much sharpens can result in harsh edges for example. It's best if you experiment to find the perfect workflow for you. Personally, i would improve the original a bit, then gigapixel, then the rest of the adjustments to make it look nice
Hope Topaz lab can upgrade gigapixel with the feature Topaz denoise has where you can outline the subject(bird) only and not the background which often gets an unreal blured bokeh.
Is there any AI that can do the same with videos?
Hmmm. I just did the same process Olivio. Took a 2272x1704 1.21mb and downsized to 1136x852 346kb. Into GigaAI for 2x using 'lines' yielded 2272x1704 6.8mb! So I did another experiment starting with the same photo 2272x1704 1.21mb and into GigaAI for .5 using 'lines' yielded 1136x852 2mb. So I got opposite results to what you got. Interesting yes?
I have used GigaAI with satisfactory results for Insta360 OneX 360 photos that I needed to supplement the x-t3 360s in virtual tours.
There are a lot of factors that go into file size. A image with a lot of changing values in it will be harder to compress and have a larger size as a result. 2mb seems pretty large for a 1136 file - so you either chose a very high quality in the compression settings (like 100% or 95%) or saved it in a format like PNG, which is often much larger than jpg. I think we can both agree that on average smaller resolution images have a smaller file size, even if in that case it seems to be different.
@@OlivioSarikas Yes I did use 95% compression on the jpg downsizing, and without thinking about it. haha . Always learning from you Olivio. Thanks
@@gregboyce360 I think in most cases 85% will give you a very good result with a small enough file size :)
I cant get my photos to look better they just look the same or a little worse
I’ve been using this trick since seeing it on a two year old Gigapixel review video. I think the Topaz devs must have trained the software on blurry photos of their dogs, it somehow adds all the floof back to their fur 😆
I try gigapixel for second time and I end restoring my hard drive from a security copy of it to avoid leaving garbage behind.
How I try it... I rezised a picture from 7000 x 5000 pixels to 350 x 600, the results 4x was ok, 6x was not acceptable at all, this is not it. My pc was way too slow while using gigapixel ai, it mess the icons in the taskbar for few seconds and It has to be connected to the internet to enlarge the picture.
From my side your video looks more like you got paid to do it because if you are a pro already you should advise of this issues, I built my pc with top components and I know this is not right.
If I can say something is, it is not for me, when I have to uninstall it 2 times.
maybe now we can finally get that bigfoot video cleaned up and have proof.
