Title: My latest radical scenic enhancement
Post by: plugsnpixels on April 10, 2025, 05:58:33 pm: Quickie iPhone shot cropped and then "Redefined" with high Creativity and Texture in Topaz Gigapixel (https://www.topazlabs.com/gigapixel/ref/5/).

Attachments show original full-frame iPhone image (reduced), crop, final Topaz result at 6X enlargement (reduced) and a 100% view of the result.

Post by: thill1111 on April 10, 2025, 09:13:35 pm: I don't use Gigapixel very much and really only to enlarge. The "Redefined" with high Creativity" function is a generative AI feature?
Title: Re: My latest radical scenic enhancement
Post by: plugsnpixels on April 10, 2025, 09:22:31 pm: Yes, Redefine is generative. Its effects can be seen even at low levels, so I prefer to punch it ;-). Attached are a couple examples of Redefined renders from abstract originals (not photos).

The traditional Gigapixel models for enlarging are not generative.

Attachments show original framing, reduced; 4X and 6X detail crops.

Thanks, here is "less creative" but slightly more processed (Topaz + Radiant Photo + ON1) ;-)
