While organizing a meeting on Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy I was asked to try to get a speaker from the gaming industry who was a graphics expert on getting images to look real, shadows, shading, lighting, etc. Never could get in touch, but I suspect such a person could do what gigapixel does using conventional algorithms. A.I. learns by comparing photos taken using different settings, resolution, sharpness, etc. In this case, the question is what photos they used. There are many stories of A.I. failing just due to simple errors in data use. The Google search labelling an Africian american as a gorilla is the most public and nasty case. Others include missing cancer because no ruler (present on test images) was present on non-test images! If one had an image with sub-pixel differences, using this program would not create data never in the photo, i.e., totally different colors between rows of pixels.

I have compared On1 Resize against Topaz Gigapixel. Gigapixel is a lot slower but the results are slightly better IMO. My older 20mp images now print like 36mp.

Very nice comparison. Thanks for sharing.

I use it all the time in bird photography. It works very well with my 20megapixel full frame camera. Allows me to print bigger enlargements.
