[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 803710, member: 10742"] I use Gigapixel a lot... especially after doing heavy cropping... Topaz's stated intention is to be the best at specific photography editing tools... At present they've staked out the 3 features of Denoise, Sharpening, and Upscaling as where they want to be... I think their Denoise and Sharpening are probably the best, from my perspective... They've been focusing on Photo AI for the last several months.... there's a new update pushed out every Thursday Evening, and they've published a Roadmap for that product so users can see exactly what's getting added and worked on as they push these updates out... Long range, they intend to combine the 3 other stand-alone products into Photo AI... Without going into too much chatter, it's a very complex process because they're doing RAW files, and there's a huge open universe in all the various RAW file formats... They're also trying to automate the process as much as possible so the user can simply click on a file and the system does everything... this includes batch processing... Imagine being able to click on a folder of 1,000 of your film scans from the '80s and producing perfectly denoised, sharpened, and upscaled, high resolution images comparable to today's digital camera images?
