Topaz is best in class for restoring your challenged photos and videos. In my case, I’ve got almost 50 years of film-based still images (scanned), lo-res digital photos going back 20+ years and, more recently, lo-res AI-generated work that is too small on its own. Topaz Photo AI and Gigapixel solve that problem…

Here are some examples, starting with a 2004 non-DLSR digital portrait of a girl with glitter makeup. It’s noisy and grainy and mushy and of pretty much no use today. Unless!<\/p>\n\n\n

Below is another example of photographing people with a non-professional camera… And again, Photo AI<\/a><\/strong> did an amazing job with the results \u2013\u00a0almost like going back in time and using the appropriate camera! (Please view all images in a new tab or window at 100%.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

It’s amazing how Photo AI<\/a><\/strong> brings back detail that you’re not going to get any other way, even with the competition’s “AI”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next is a scan of a 1983 35mm Tri-X negative (grainy aerial photo). Photo AI<\/a><\/strong> cleaned it right up:<\/p>\n\n\n

A similar example, this time from a color 35mm negative:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Meanwhile, back in the present, stable-diffusion-type AI is allowing us to create amazing imagery, but usually at lo-res. Photo AI<\/a><\/strong> is necessary to fix that problem (enlarging and smoothing):<\/p>\n\n\n

The soon-to-be-released Gigapixel 7<\/a><\/strong> (shown here cropped) can do the same type of enlargement and detail recovery:<\/p>\n\n\n

If you are doing video restoration, Video AI<\/strong> is the new go-to tool for this type of work. Click “Welcome to Video AI\u00a04” on the Topaz website to see a sample video<\/a> and catch the sale!<\/p>\n\n\n
