Axel Mertes has a great idea for: New AI Scaling Method

There are many software can restore face better than GAI / VEAI.
For example, Remini APP, MyHeritage web and Tencent ARC’s GFPGAN.

Gigapixel Face Refinement vs Remini

I found that there are many open-source face upscale AI code in Github. And their result are even better than Remini and MyHeritage. Just curious, why Topaz lab don’t “borrow” some open source Face Reconstruction AI algorithm into Gigapixel. I have tested your image using Face Restoration AI created by Tencent ARC. And here is the result. Clearly the result is much better than GAI’s Face refinement. [5d3b8c0356a975159ff25bd1c4df677132ee027c_cr_00…

Which AI is the best at Upscale Tiny Face?

Gigapixal AI is a excellent AI upscale software, one of the best on the market. However, GAI is not perfect yet, it have a weakness on enlarging tiny human face. I have a question for all of you, which software you tried have the best ability to upscale tiny face ? Here is a example. Original crop: [Original%20Face%20crop] Upscale by GAI standard mode 6x Auto (Face refinement ON): [5] Upscale by GAI lowres mode 6x Auto (Face refinement ON): [5] Ups…

Here is an example I upscaled with Tencent ARC’s GFPGAN.

I also tested with sample image shown in the Google SR3 video.

Here is the upscaled image by Tencent ARC’s GFPGAN
(It may not look as detail as Google SR3, but it only took a few seconds to process)

There are also AI software built in Face restoration for video such as, AVCLabs Video Enhancer AI.

Competitor to VEAI

I found a competitor software to VEAI Video Enhance AI: Enhance the Video Quality with the Power of AI (any-video-converter.com) But on closer inspection, although in the presentation video it looks almost as good, the interface looks very similar to VEAI but with fewer options. For example, the preview option is missing and there is only one output format. there are not as many models depending on the type of video to improve. See the video: AVCLabs - Video Enhancer AI [ COMPLET…
