I have had very good luck with a few old family pictures using super focus. It seems like the quality of the picture has to be fairly good if not it hallucinates extremely terrible renditions but when it works it works really good.

Hi, nice video. I guess I'm lucky because so far working on 45mp files, the longest it has taken to render a shot is about 6 minutes. I have 64Gb of RAM & an 8GB GPU which might help.

Great

This is extremely useful ! Thanks !

I have both On1 and Neo. While I seldom have a need to erase items in photos, in testing more complex landscape edits, Neo has outperformed On1's Local Gen AI erase (in fact, on one complicated landscape photo I tested, On1's perfect eraser did a better job than Local Gen AI). For me, On1's Stability AI erase has performed much more like Neo's as far as end results are concerned. At least for now, straight out of the box, Neo does a more convincing job when I need it and I'm not a fan of paying for another service to get similar results in On1. My biggest concern, however, is how much storage space is being used by these apps for their built in capabilities. My installation of Neo, without marketplace extras installed, is nearly 5 GB compared to On1's less than 2 GB with marketplace extras installed; and Neo is not nearly as full-featured as On1.

Capture Ones tool was, in my eyes, the winner in this comparison.

I have both. no problem

Please try Topaz Video AI

Super!

great ! Thanks a lot !!!

Mate, you are a champion, thank you. I've been waiting to be able to do this in Affinity Photo for years. The default Raw to sRGB conversion is very natural looking but I wanted to make my own adjustments in Raw instead of the Photo Persona when batch processing many hundreds (or more) of race photos that I can end up with after a race meeting.

at 5.58, we see the opposite of most ai enhancement results. The background basically 100% restored. One day we might see a program managing full frame to that level I hope. I know there is software currently swapping out clothing and backgrounds etc and when I see an example of that epecially when the clothing is is very closely matched I accept it because it just renews the photo and makes it special. Imagine a full frame unaltered crystal clear ai photo from your blurred old photos without the need to be halfway to an I T to do it.

Does one have to export a raw image out of Mac photos first before using Photomator like in Affinity photo? I always found this strange, if the image in photos is raw why must one export first in order to edit in the raw format?

00:56 It's 50 to upgrade, not to buy as a new customer.

JPEG: Capture One wins easily (d)RAW: Capture One (1) - ON1 (1)

I loaded two images in Affinity Photo 2 so they are in two separate layers. When I right click on the Mask Icon, nothing happens.

What about in video?

Wow. The real winner is Adobe Lightroom Classic. The resulting image quality from both tools was awful and the sophistication of Lightroom’s masking tools leaves both of these choices in the dust. I detest rentalware, but Adobe will continue to get its monthly pound of flesh from me.

Affinity 2.6 Had Subject selection Object selection tool Adjustment pant has hsl adjustments This is a bias review affinty 2.6 has ai tools like object selection you just not fully doing research on both sides

And the new update beta 2.6 has object selection

Affinity has Hsl tool I been using it for years 😂

Keep them coming! THX!

Yet again.Super!

Top vid again?!

Credit is due to DXO for adding the new XD2s denoising feature to PureRaw 4, as of the current version 4.6. I am writing in November 2024. I own a copy of PureRaw 4, and had expected the new XD2s to become available with a future PureRaw 5 release. Curiously, there is no "check for software updates" option in PureRaw 4, so in order to check you are using the latest version you need to log into your DXO account and download the latest version from there.

Something that was not mentioned is the pricing. It's too high. A Photoshop + Lightroom - lightroom classic (that you can continue to use if you cancel) + 20GB of cloud storage costs 9.99 per month. With 1TB is 19.99 It's too close and clearly the Adobe tools are far better.

Good contribution, which shows that there is still much room for improvement.

Top video! Thx!

@3:07 “Apples poor record when it comes to improving their own applications” They have been improving Final Cut Pro since 2011 for FREE

I’ve had Pixelmator Pro for long time and loved it, as soon as Photomator allowed editing of files outside Apple’s Photos, I jumping fully in for batch editng. Happy I now have a Lifetime license for both, so if Apple trash them I can still use. Apple has bad form with Aperture and FCP 7, overnight killing them, so no I’m not happy with Apple buying them. JMO. C

Frustrating... in general I actually like On1 specifically for the way the local edits and effect stacking/masking works - the concept of having a RAW developer tool plus some ability to apply effects and some basic editing without having to resort to a full blown editor. But, as shown here - some of the tools and this AI erase in particularly aren't great. On the flipside, Luminar seems to perform better in this aspect, but I've been burned by their software before (buggy, poor performance) and I've been cautious about forking over money to them again, since...

Thank you, a very helpful video. Are there any clipping indicators in the photo persona?

Agreed on the conclusions. Though I have current licenses for both ON1 and Neo, I wouldn't use Gen Erase in either one. As an Adobe Photography Plan subscriber, Photoshop's local-based Remove Tool is the best way to go, although I'm not testing it on faces or fingers--very tough. In the 10% of images where Remove Tool fails, PS's web-based Generative Fill usually gets it done. ON1 and Neo will get better. Adobe has a 2-year head start at this.

From what I see Luminar is better.

I never had Luminar and I think it's nothing for me. ON1 is a "toy" nothing more. Year after year, tons of new features, but none of them work as expected.

Top notch! Well explained. Thanks!

This is such a bad news, this company has a bad record of buying good apps and then, have them discontinue, Apple Loops, wave burner, FCP Studio, Live Type, Shake, Soundtrack Pro, Final Touch (Color), Aperture, very good and needed apps for FCP, like color, soundtrack, shake package used in the movie post-production industry, I hope they don't mess this one up, apps that I pay for them in the past and they're not available today.

Well. you are doing most of that wrong. So your results are just as expected. Nope..not gonna tell ya..lol. But it was interesting to see how they work with a couple clicks.

Sorry, but both sharp tools are low quality, bad results. Smart Sharp in Photoshop is much much better.

Hello, can you please explain is there a feature like profiles (e.g. fujifilm profiles) on any iPad photoeditor? It is a crucial feature I use on desktop CaptureOne and I am surprised I can’t find it on iPad photoeditors.

Great tutorial as always. I tried this today for the first time. I used the mock-up iPhone template and put the screen recording on it and it's about 8 minutes, but when I tried to export it it was 21GB long!!!! So I just copied and pasted the layers into a new one with smaller pixel size and it was still somewhat big, about 800mb. When I just imported the screen recording on its own and exported it, it was about 80mb. Were this layers too big?! I am perplexed!

I hate that companies have the same tools in two different apps, but one performs better than the other... so... you have to use both. Can't we just have ONE app, and just charge us more. Adobe is guilty of this as well.

Another thing. Edited photos are stored in the pictures folder of Apple photos. As a user I cannot set a folder for this. A pro photo tool let you decide and configure where to store what.

No. It misses a real important function: adding keywords allowing for filtering and making selections.

I loved Aperture, but when they did that I lost faith in Apple so when choosing Video software I chose Resolve, and for photos C1pro, my rule of thumb; pick companies that make the cameras/hardware as well as the software. Oh and screw Adobe! They have turned into crooks, I recently went with Affinity.

Sticking with Pixelmator Pro!

It works, but not always. And then, you have lost time.

About generative tools, remember they are valid till the end of 2025 in permanent license, then they will be disabled and you will be able to buy them again in Jan2026 package of generative tools. Wanted to buy the Neo, and got such feedback from customer service

Thanks for the video, definitely will try. One question: why don't we just use the shawdow slide?

Very clearly described, well done. Worked like a charm first time
