Quote from: Ian99 on September 21, 2018, 04:16:38 pm Moving on… I downloaded the trial version of AIG v 1.1.2 and used it to do a 400% upres on a 35 megapixel Tiff to a 567 megapixel jpeg. Whatever, I consider it usable on a CPU constrained system but will experiment further on its overall usefulness. I am also not sure that the result would have been any different when printed from the output that I get from Qimage. I did not see any of the miraculous improvements in resolution touted in Topaz’s adverts. The output file was obviously much bigger than the input and it looked identical in Photoshop CS6 after adjusting for file size. I had no way of measuring GPU usage but I increased the GPU fan speed to 80% (whatever that means) from the normal 40% to keep GPU temperature below 70C.Īll in all, a good performance. CPU usage never exceeded 4GB and I noticed no reduction in response while doing normal web-surfing. It took a total of 22 minutes to complete. I chose “reduce noise strong” and “processing with GPU”. Moving on… I downloaded the trial version of AIG v 1.1.2 and used it to do a 400% upres on a 35 megapixel Tiff to a 567 megapixel jpeg. DXO Prime is slow but it seems to be slow everywhere. I use Capture One v11 with no apparent slowdown. This video card might well be the cheapest way of upgrading an old system and still giving decent performance on graphic intensive work. This works well because I also use a Radeon RX 580 video card with 8GB of video RAM. I am quite happy using an ancient quad core Q8300 running at 2.5GHz on Windows 7 with 8GB of Ram. The computer is now as important as cameras and lenses. We living in a computational photography world now. If you own a high end (digital medium format) camera maybe these are the the kinds of computers you should be considering. I can't understand why owners of expensive cameras are begrudging spending money on a decent computer to handle computational photography processing. AIG as it currently stands is only the beginning.Īh, I'm going to offer an opinion. AI driven computational photography rocks. But I am enthused about AIG and I'm sure that my old four megapixel images can now be credibly printed larger than 5x7. They do look better if I zoom into an image, but I'm not sure if reprocessing all my old images is worth the bother for viewing on a monitor/TV. AIG processed images only look marginally better. For the latter, I decided that AIG wasn't really needed-Win 10's own resizing looks decent. What I am interested in, thus far, is processing old 2002ish low megapixel images so I can print them larger than 5x7. I can restore it by resizing the image size in ACR. AIG runs fine but the image display in CC 2018 ACR gets corrupted.
