I had to find a balance between deep depth- of- field, fast shutter speed and ISO that could still bring out detail. These relatively high ISO images were problematic because the dull light, and extreme speed of the lanner, coupled with bright background made capture difficult. I pulled up a few marginal shots of a lanner falcon photographed on an overcast day in the Kgalagadi. I had a feeling, that even if this generational iteration of the software does not make the super telephoto lens redundant it could still make marginal images usable as well as improving the results from (possibly wider aperture) shorter telephotos. Is this kind of software going to make extreme focal length telephoto's redundant? I decided to try the software for a different reason - I had a thought. It still takes a while to run a routine on a high-end machine but if you are enlarging for a print, it's not really an issue. The software makes use of batch image processing with your computers Graphics Card (GPU). Over time, the network learns to synthesize 'plausible detail' in the enlarged image based on what it has previously seen and so construct the detail required to enlarge our images up to 600%. Gigapixel goes about it in a different way it uses Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)Ī neural (self-teaching) network is exposed to millions of high-resolution and low-resolution image pairs. Normally, there is no way to create high-resolution images from low-resolution images because, at any significant enlargement, the details are simply not available in the source image.
Gigapixel uses 'deep-learning super-resolution'.
I have a mind that it will make stunning enlargements of my medium format film photographs - I can't wait to try it!Ī.I.
It is good at enlarging hi-res images too! Gigapixel is software designed to enlarge images and it is important especially for those photographers who adopted digital very early because it is simply incredible at enlarging low megapixel, low-resolution images.
