When measured against its contemporaries, Upscale AI is certainly competitive and will do a little better or a little worse, depending on the photo. But, in rarer cases, it’s so bad as to ruin the photo. In many cases, it’s barely noticeable, even when viewing 100% cropped images, and will be of no concern. But, on the other hand, Upscale AI’s light touch does a great job of portraits.įurthermore, Upscale AI’s output suffers from detail-obscuring Posterization. On the one hand, its images can look unimpressive. Regarding image quality, Upscale AI’s image quality is best described as natural or under-processed. Compared to its competition, Upscale AI runs very slowly but is tolerable unless you are upscaling dozens of photos at a time. However, Upscale AI falls short in a few ways. For these reasons, Upscale AI ranks as one of the best AI upscalers there is. Luminar Neo Upscale AI is easy to use, accurate, and produces good natural-looking results. Compared to Upscale AI, Gigapixel AI is faster, offers more adjustment, and produces better results. Gigapixel AI is the best AI upscaler I have used. Upscale AI Compared Upcale AI vs Gigapixel AI I find it very to use, and it’s an excellent option if you already own Luminar Neo. Overall, Upscale AI works well relative to other AI upscalers – which is to say, results will vary. ![]() At one point, my computer seized up entirely, but I was able to wait it out, and normal service was resumed. Upscale AI is straightforward but can run slowly depending on the image size you’re upscaling. But, to be fair, the Lighthouse image has beaten many of the best AI upscalers However, the upscaled image of the Lighthouse was effectively ruined. At times the effect was negligible and, perhaps, invisible when viewing the image from a sensible distance. ![]() However, Upscale AI does have a problem with Posterization, also known as the oil-painting effect. I was highly impressed with how Upscale AI could upscale the portrait without over-processing the subject’s features and skin tones. You can check out more videos by Anthony Morganti here on Lensvid.Like many other AI Upscalers, Upscale AI success depends on your photo’s quality and complexity. ![]() Using local manipulations too much or too aggressively will inevitably result in images that look overly processed and have an HDR feel to them (this isn’t always a bad thing but this needs to be the look that you are aiming at and not the result of too much play with the exposure of different objects in the frame). Having the power to do local adjustments easily is fantastic, however, you should always keep an eye on the “big picture”. If you didn’t know how to properly use masking or didn’t have the time to fiddle with selections, these sorts of new tools will allow you to do smart, accurate local changes to your images very quickly with almost zero input and this is something that can elevate the work of many photographers to the next level very quickly.Ī word of caution. However, it is our opinion that this new improvement (and the further development of this technology by Skylum, Adobe, and other companies) is actually going to be more important for those who until now mostly used global refinements to their editing workflows. A new type of creativityįor those who are already highly proficient in masking the new tool is going to be a huge time saver and make a work that used to be measured in minutes or hours at least an order of magnitude less (especially on more complex images), This level of precision, which will no doubt continue to improve as time goes by gives the user the ability to manipulate different objects in an image without manually selecting and masking them. ![]() What Morganti shows in this quick demo is how you can let the AI go over an image and identify not only the skies but also the grounds including man-made and natural, structures and more. While we already had object recognition in Luminar Neo (and other software like Photoshop) for some time now, the ability of the AI to now recognize and mask so many different objects together is really groundbreaking. Luminar Neo has been relying on advanced AI features from day 1 but the most recent update to the image editing software by Skylum takes it to another level.Īs Anthony Morganti demonstrates in the second part of the video above, the improved AI masking is just incredible. The recent Luminar Neo update brings another big jump in AI masking which allows users to select and manipulate objects much more easily. This that used to take professional editors hours can now be accomplished in minutes with a few clicks. Recent advancements in image editing have really pushed the envelope of what you can do with your image.
