[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 677659, member: 7240"] Yes, I started with a very low megapixel image in an attempt to increase the image size to be printable at something like 12x8 inches at 300 dpi. A very modest goal, but I'm not sure the AI GP really delivers, nor any of the other methods either. The end results are either too fake or too blurry. I also tried with a D3X image and increased a 24 mpix image to 390 mpix (400%). The end result is a 780 megabyte file and the operation took 7 minutes. That would be about 7 feet wide picture at 300 dpi. Nobody does that though, as billboards are viewed from afar and 100 or even 75 dpi is more than enough. 24 mpix can do that without uprezzing. In my humble opinion these uprezzing tools either don't live up to the hype, or are just gimmick solutions looking for a problem. YMMV. But I will have a keen eye on them, computational photography is here to stay. Perhaps v2.0 with a [I]billion[/I] image library behind it will be better? In the future one only has to draw a crude sketch of a Taj Mahal on paper, photograph it, and use [B]A.I. Enhance v9.0 [/B]to get a beautiful real photo (composite) of Taj Mahal with amazing sunset, kissing swans and milky way as a backdrop. [/QUOTE]
