I like using Gigapixal and then I run it through Lightroom and use the enhance feature, sometime even play with the color. I get some really good results. Great vid.

TY. Great comparison, Wade. I guess the big difference between the MJ upscaler compared to Topaz is that MJ is a default one shot approach, whereas Topaz Photo AI has a number of settings and variations you can choose/modify, depending on the image and style of upscaling you're after. That alone sets Topaz head & shoulders above the others, IMHO.

[spacekitt.n]

you cant use the midjourney upscale on custom photos (or inpaint them), so midjourney is a walled garden and hence useless to me. unlike the others.

Don’t forget to hide the layers below too, because usually they have An effect on the layers above U can try to multiply A photo and And you will see the change that will happen

Old photos with small sizes and you will notice immediately the differances between all of them.

upscayl is actually way more powerful than everything else in terms of output quality, in my opinion. depending on the model. there is a wiiiide range of custom models to choose from. i prefer 4nomos8ksc. the downside, of course, is the lack of sliders, options and settings. that's why i have to stick to topaz as well.

Allways good info - thanks for that. When you zoomed in were you going to 100% or above? Also what about upscaling to the 8000 to 1000 size, do you still like Topaz the best?

[garudasomanna]

Thanks for this information. I have downloaded upscayl but find that I can't use that version with my macOS 10.14.6 and that it works only on macOS 12 or later. Are there any earlier versions of upscyl available for download?

[rarindraprakarsa]

How about blending MJ upscale and Gigapixel with two layers and set certain opacity ?

[stephanreiken]

Tbh, while the Hulk things were obvious, maybe I'm just lacking the critical visual acquity but these tend to look like barely unchanging images in comparison of upscalers

[affebanane]

So, what is the difference between topez photo ai and gigapixel?

[yangmarvin]

Can i ask since GigaPixel is an offline software (I guess so), what are the safety aspects such like if it uses unlicense copy right database to patch pixel such as an accurate face, or if my images are used to train the model as such?

One of my fav ways to ‘close out my nights’ w brother Ai WMcM MJ highlight vid (10-11pm ideal here my man I have to say)! 🎉

[jonnanieminen]

This comparison is irrelevant when it comes to scaling real photos. AI generated photos are smother, lacking detail. Topaz and Upscayl are designed to scale real photos

Topaz Gigapixel ruins all the images. While the app increases the size, if you zoom in, you get a 'vector' filter look, and all the details are lost. I dot not recommend get this app if you work with portraits, even the hair looks weird, and I tried all the filters and adjustment possible.
