I will also add that when performing these enlargement tests, I noticed variations in the results. It was very close between the two packages but as I’m a landscape photographer, I can’t ignore the better landscape enlargements from Gigapixel. Taking everything into account, the winner of this comparison is Topaz Gigapixel. The ON1 Resize enlargement of the portrait was particularly good although it is possible to improve the Gigapixel enlargement using the facial recognition feature. And the Best Image Resizing Software Is…īoth Topaz Gigapixel AI and ON1 Resize AI produced good enlargements in this testing, and I would be happy to use both. I even published an article reporting a possible AI problem. I’m not sure what has caused the “mesh pattern” but I have seen something similar in the past with other software. With smaller scale enlargements I didn’t notice the effect the same.

This wasn’t present in the portrait image, but I did find traces in some areas of the first landscape.įollowing further testing, my Panasonic G9 images appear more prone to this effect, although we should keep in mind that they were enlarged the most.

When you compare the detail in the rocks and grass carefully, the ON1 enlargement appears to have a mesh like pattern overlaid on it. But something also looks a little strange about the detail, as if it’s a repeating pattern. In this comparison the ON1 Resize enlargement on the left appears to have more fine detail at first glance.
