With Topaz Labs Gigapixel AI, I felt that these were on a level comparable to that of modern photos. But it is very precise in dot-by-dot and the dynamic range is superior to that of modern smartphones. SIGMA DP1/DP2 produce less resolution than modern smartphone. In this article, I converted 4MP photos taken with cameras about 10 years ago into a high resolution of 40MP which is unreachable even with the almost modern cameras. Photoshop Preserved Details 2.0 - Phuket, Thailand (41.8MP).Not to mention, simple upscale is not comparable to either.

This case, I feel Photoshop is slightly sharper but Gigapixel AI is less noisy, more natural in the branches of trees, flowers. Keep in mind larger photo takes much more time. Gigapixel AI needs more time compared with Photoshop. The upscale was completed in about 3 minutes with my environment (Intel Core i7 4720HQ 2.60GHz / GeForce GTX 970M). You can use “Auto”, but I manually selected 50 and 50 while watching the appearance of clouds and straight lines. In Gigapixel AI, you can change “Suppress Noise” and “Remove Blur” parameters with preview. As I will write later, the processing speed is significantly different from Gigapixel AI. Photoshop converts image in some seconds. You can use “Preserve Details 2.0” upscale from Image -> Image Size

I selected 12% in “Reduce Noise” parameter this time. Select “Image Size” from menu and choose it at “Resample”. Original - Shiodome, Tokyo - SIGMA DP1 (3.9MP)Ĭurrent Photoshop version (v21.1.2) enables “Preserve Details 2.0” in default.
