There is more and more competition and most deliver either similar or inferior results to Topaz AI programs, but some are diversifying and some are better than Topaz, because Topaz management team apparently does not care about any of the legit complaints, criticism and suggestions in this thread.
The best new company I found is called HitPaw and they make some really user friendly and powerful AI photo enhancement products. Their alternative to Gigapixel is particularly interesting and with latest update it blows Gigapixel away in terms of reconstructing faces. If Topaz does not wake up and starts actually listening to users and actually innovate again, I think people will be moving to alternatives as soon as they become available.
Here is what HitPaw AI Image Enhancer can do and its small install with offline AI models, a fraction of the size of those that we have to download with Gigapixel and its in some respects, superior to Gigapixel. Topaz, you guys better wake up.
