    I was all for Upscayl, then you mentioned the line,… which has been mentioned in other comparison videos too. So I discarded Upscayl from my mind, and was feeling Pixelcut all the way. Then you redeemed Upscayl in the end, making it a great teaching moment. I’m going to use both, depending on the device I am on. And THANK YOU for showing a comparison with Photoshop. I was really curious why no one was using editing tools like Photoshop or Affinity Photo to upscale. You are the first one I’ve seen include this. Thank you! Love your “straight to the meat” teaching style.

    Would be interesting to see if these upscalers can improve Photoshop's Generative Fill, seeing as the generated content is quite low-res. Thanks for the heads up on these upscalers, Unmesh!

    • @phepheboi
      @phepheboi 3 місяці тому

      Generative fill is still maxed out on 1024x1024 tiles. So you have to make those fills tile for tile to achieve best quality. And often it's an scaling issue, sometimes scaling an image down to its best detail or sharpness point, can archive better outputs.

    I've been using Upscayle for a while. Although it's great, it does tend to smoothen certain areas out and increase the contrast for a perceived increase in quality. Overlaying it with the original image can help a bit. For free, Upscayle is by far the best. Most computers up to 3 years old will do it with no problem. Thanks as always. 👍

    Great and informative video. Thanks Unmesh. As a matter of comparison, I used some Polo images shot 2010 with a D7000 with a Fujifilm s100fs. In December I often get requests from spouses of the players, for very enlarged and framed photos of the player scoring a goal or making a dramatic check, etc. Often the player is way downfield from where I am and takes up 10% or less of the frame, so when I crop in the resolution is severely reduced. I used to do multi-step enlargements in PS, but since I got Topaz Photo Ai, I use that now. I just ran comparisons using Topaz and Upscayl. Even with Upscayl delivering images of 15,000+ px on the long side, it couldn't compete with what I got from Topaz at 6000px on the long side. That, coupled with Upscayl not running as a plugin for LR, made up my mind to just stick with Topaz Photo Ai. If I didn't have Topaz, Upscayl would be helpful though.
    That said ...something has gone very wrong with Topaz Photo Ai on the last several releases On Autopilot, with noise set to low and above, it is completely failing to recognize noise on many very noisy scanned images or camera digitized images from slides. If I click the toggle to reduce it, it does a wonderful job. What this means is that batch processing is no longer possible in Topaz Photo Ai, and that's a real pain in the posterior region!
