When working with a 12MP architecture photo, the image was enlarged by a factor of 200% and 600% to assess any differences between these amounts and the capabilities of Photoshop and Gigapixel AI. The enlargement factor was set to 600% in both cases, which is extreme for such a low-res image, but in this case the result from Photoshop was sharper with more detail present despite details taking on a waxy appearance when zoomed in. A low-resolution image of 1000px on the long side was enlarged in Gigapixel AI and also using Preserve Details 2.0 in Photoshop to compare the differences. Image quality in shots enlarged using Gigapixel AI varies depending on the type of image being processed. ResultsĪnd here's a corresponding 6x enlargement in Photoshop, using the Preserve Details option. The main control panel is situated on the right of the interface and is extremely simple to follow with clear sections. The View also allows for various image views including Single View, Split View, Side-by-Side View and a Comparison View, which shows the original image alongside three of the AI Model results to assist in selecting the most effective Model for the image.

With a Zoom control to zoom in and out of images, an Original button for quickly seeing the before image and a View control below the main menu, selecting the optimal image magnification and view option is incredibly simple.

Even absolute editing beginners could easily enlarge images using the presets and auto settings to achieve a good result, while more advanced users can take a more manual, yet still AI-powered approach.

The control panel (Image credit: James Abbott)Īs a standalone software program that does one job, the Gigapixel AI user interface is simply and intuitively presented so you cannot go wrong.
