The right side is of the same portion of the same image doubled in size with Gigapixel AI. The left side of the image is the GFX 100s file. The image below is of a vineyard from above, take from a hot air balloon around 700' in altitude.īelow is a screenshot of part of the above image with a resolution-doubled Gigapixel AI version. What I have decided to do with it regarding my GFX 100s files, is to basically not use it for those if necessary, I will shoot vertical and stitch two or more files together for a larger image. In at least one image, it seems to be adding pixel-level artifacts and notably decreasing contrast, but I basically paid $28 and some change when you divide the total bundle cost of $85 for the three Topaz programs by three. I found that for the quality of files I obtain from GFX 100s, image quality is sacrificed with Gigapixel AI. No matter, purchased as as part of a discounted bundle for $85, I use Gigapixel AI every day. That is large enough for many things, but it is not large enough to cover a big wall without tiling. Initially, in using Gigapixel AI, I was a little dismayed that the largest image files one can produce from it are 32,000 pixels per side. I like stuff sharp, large, and printed large.

The camera I use is a Fuijifim GFX 100s, and I shoot full-size (11,648 x 8,736 files), using edited RAW files about half the time ad SOOC JPEGS about the other half the time. I printed one 11x14 this year, one 13x19, and the rest were 35x40 or larger. I also definitely don't like looking at pixellation, and I like my images large. I know, I was probably dropped on my head as an infant.

I never see a soft person, object, still life, or whatever. I admit that I am a resolution freak, and I also don't like looking at things that seem 'soft', as that is never what I see when I look at something (so long as I have my glasses on).

Someone posted a discount code on DPR, so I got an additional discount and got the bundle for about $85. A few weeks ago I purchased the discounted bundle of Topaz' Gigapixel AI, DeNoise AI, and Topaz Sharpen AI.
