So there are differences in absolute quality and differences in efficient workflow. Nevertheless using Gigapixel with ON1 makes sometimes problem when the output is sent back - that ON1 has problems reading new dimensions correctly (especially when upscaling DNG to DNG). Even harsh lines (textures) can be easily reduced to some extent with other tools (local contrast/blur/and grain). I am bit disappointed - however Resize is part of ON1 which simplify some things with workflow. Especially when having something like fine texture - result seems bit water-painted (resembles me of Phone digi zooming). IMHO Resize tends to "create" a tiny bit more detail in some areas, however at what cost. Original on L, Resize on R smoothing at 100 Resize AI does have a minor "smoothing slider" which in the example was set at 100% and there was still unacceptable artifact. Overall, I think that for these WL images it's fairly close though I give the edge to Gigapixel because of the ability to customize to a greater extent.įor enlargements involving faces, I wouldn't bother with Resize AI whereas Gigapixel offers options for adjustment (defaults way too aggressive). Additionally, Gigapixel has settings for portraits which are missing for in Resize AI. In general, I would say they are very close and Resize adds a bit more contrast (sharpening) as a default. The attached images have a watermark over the Gigapixel image so one has to assess other areas. NR could always be added when integrated into On1 PR. While one can add additional sharpening, I chose not to and left the defaults. I did find that for specific images, one model usually performed better than the other. In contrast, Topaz AI has limited settings and essentially has two AI models. I’m sure one could tweak these to achieve a “best image”. Gigapixel offers a lot of user adjustments from five or so models, NR, etc. ![]() Now these images are specific to birds/wildlife so they have small, high frequency elements (hair/feathers). +1 Resize AI.Įxporting was a wash and interestingly it was either very close or a slight edge to Gigapixel AI. Also, Gigapixel like all of Topaz software re-renders every time the image is moved thus producing a worse user experience. These were small images so they should have rendered quickly and Resize AI was typically 90-100% faster. ![]() First, based on the multiple images I tested, Resize AI won on initial rendering.
