My image of a Great Blue Heron from 2016 came came up on a random-generated album set on Flickr, and I had the idea to rework it using Topaz Gigapixel to see what difference it would make.

I downloaded my image from Flickr, then opened it in Gigapixel set to 6X. The result was a file (45.98 MB) that I then downsized to make it the same size as the original.

Here is the Flickr download:

And here is the Gigapixel file as on Flicker:

I also printed both files to the full width of 19" on my Canon P-100 printer. I clearly prefer the Topaz version, but the difference is slight on that size print. Might make a bigger visual difference on say a 36" wide print.

This is an update to my original post. Not sure why the download versions won't show up bigger for evaluation, since I checked store original on both of them.

To tell the truth, I don't either. I can see it in the paper print, but not on a screen.
