Damn, it’s happening again with the “PostImage” website and my expired photos. This time I don’t know why, because I submitted them from my account. Normally they aren’t supposed to expire.
There, I’ve fixed the links again hahaha. I hope it’s okay this time.
Yes. The RTX 5090 processes AI capably (for now 
) on my PC. I had no choice when I went for the ‘transplant’ from AMD to NVIDIA this summer. I went in expecting to have the guys swap the AMD RX6800 XT GPU out & an RTX 4090 in (+ add some more internal memory while the case was on the operating table).
Well, that idea went out the window. They couldn’t get a 4090 anywhere & the specs for the other 50xx series (and reviews online) suggested I might be underpowered with them for all the apps I use… It became a tar paper effect. That larger GPU required bigger case, better fan, etc. Yikes. What I thought was going to be a mild facelift became major surgery & reconstruction (mostly extracting more from my wallet than from my slightly older PC…). 
And spot the Dragonfly.
Oh yes, that hurts. I mean, for the wallet.

Or do you see a dragonfly?
Hello Harald.
Sorry my mistake. I mistook a clump of dead leaves in the bottom left hand corner of your stork picture for a dragonfly.
My compliments to you though. These recent pictures you posted are really excellent.
Best regards Robert.
Ah, okay, I see, hahaha. And thank you. More “before/after” photos will be coming soon.
Here is a beautiful enhanced photo of Bengal tigers

Certainly cleaned up the pixelation. But, to my taste (no offense!) that’s very intensely color saturated….
Thank you. And I’m not offended. My mother sometimes makes the same comment. But I do like it in certain photos with very vibrant colors, hahaha.

Here are three photos of a serval. Before and after. I removed the fencing with Gemini and the rest, well, as usual, with Gigapixel and Photoshop.

The sequel with the golden monkeys
For this one, I used Gemini directly in Photoshop via a third-party plugin to remove the people. The craziest thing is how it managed to reconstruct the bridge’s outline and the area behind the people.

Great collection of felines (and lots of other beautiful animals) in your super-zoo! And as standard – very nice photo enhancements. (Removing those people, that’s incredible.)
Thanks 
Yeah, with a plugin that integrates Gemini into Photoshop, it’s more precise than sending the entire image to Gemini. This way, you select only an area of approximately 1 megapixel, and it removes or enhances that area based on the prompt. But it’s not just Gemini. There’s also the “Flux” suite within the plugin.
Another small improvement and modification for fun of this photo taken in a dome of the Pairi Daiza park during the Halloweens event from October 18 to November 2.
Here’s the before:
And here’s the after:
The photo was improved in terms of detail quality, and then using the photoshop plugin with Gemini I replaced the smoke with fire.
I also removed the people from the photo. In this case, I had another photo taken from a very similar angle, but without people in the desired location, which I used instead.
I performed the same improvement and flame addition operation on this one:
Here’s the before picture:
Here’s the after picture:
The dome located here
Flying Grey Heron, summer 2024, over a pond: Nothing exotic at all, but I managed to capture the bird in flight with a blue sky background (so that the heron would stand out). But it was high, far away, almost out of sight. Before mercilessly deleting the image, I tried to save something.
From the original 6000x3368 pixels, I made a 519x389 crop, freehand. HitPaw FotorPea (generative Image-to-Image, Nano Banana, with prompt) helped me, after a few attempts it revived the details correctly. Then I threw the result into Topaz Gigapixel 1.0.2 (Redefine Realistic Subtle, 6x). In the sky it created (as always on a blue background) cursed artifacts, some kind of dark dots. I removed them. Well, I’m satisfied with the result (the first image), everything went quickly, and at least 
it’s better than the (cropped) original (the second image).
The hardest part was convincing Nano Banana not to keep trying to change the view of the bird as if from below (the AI was artificial, but not very intelligent). In the end, I managed to impose reality by sneakily adding to the prompt that the picture was taken by camera from above 
).
Helpful to know we must be very specific and say what to affect and what not to affect in Gemini.
