"First of all, HitPaw’s app doesn’t work under VM (Windows on a Mac) which you find out after you install and try to run it, and as you said there is no Mac version. "I figured I’d give this a try as I’m very happy with Gigapixel and use it to salvage either my older digital images and film scans and to upscale smaller AI app-generated art. Lhkjacky, thanks for splitting off this discussion! First I’ll repeat my report about Photo Enhancer from the other thread and continue from there: something I could not even do this well with Topaz Sharpen AI. So I was really pleased how it was able to “un blur” it. Here is an old painting that I could never find sharp photograph on, anywhere online. But Topaz should include it in their products. I sometimes use it as reference for paintings.Īnyway, why does Topaz not do the same if the AI model is available for training, I don’t know. It also does magic with enlarging small reference photos from the internet and screenshots of all movies. So I tend to use it for faces and either Model A for everything and Model C for faces to create overall better images. It might be something one can do with these AI models you mentioned, but usually it requires some skills to set it up, and HitPaw AI uses simple to use interface and also works in batches. I find it to work really well with tiny faces and with combination of Photoshop compositing it can take old photos or blurry photos or small faces from smartphone and reconstruct them in ways I cannot do with other software.
Although I find myself using HitPaw Photo Enhancer AI More often than I expected, actually more often than Topaz now. I will update this post later if I find out more. But in extreme case, such as a large group of kids running around with motion blur in a small photo, where the faces are barely recognizable, the restoration may create monster face. When the person is looking strange to the camera, it usually restore the face detail nicely. I suspect the face is upscale with GFPGAN, while the background is upscale with Real-ESRGAN ? The Face Model generally give excellent result on tiny face. (There will be Mac version but ETA unknown.) No auto Preview, you have click the Preview button every time and it will process the whole picture.Īt the moment, only Windows version.
(For JPG, It always output at 100% quality). No way to select export image format or compression. Using the General Model, the background upscale nicely but the face will be distorted. Using Face Model, enhance the face nicely but the background detail will be all removed.
It will be challenging if a photo contain both person & landscape. There are 3 AI models available, but there is no way to adjust the level of noise reduction or sharpness. There is no way to input scale factor or dimension. After some testing, I would like to summarize what I have found.
