[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 812355, member: 50197"] Gigapixel is the least used of the three for me. Much of that is that I don't have a lot of cases where I need what it will do. I would recommend you try it on old photos. Here's a picture of me, my dad and Bossy. I ran it through Gigapixel, which automatically upsized it 2x. I then resized it with LR hitting "auto" and "B&W" as it had some funky yellowing. It could use some retouching as it has a lot of spots and perhaps make a few other adjustments, but you can see the difference Gigapixel made.
