So far I’ve tried every AI enlarger that is commercial, didn’t code one myself, but all the commercial options, HitPaw AI new model for reconstructing faces, is so far the best, and superior to Topaz with examples where there are small or blurry faces. I guess the downside is no Mac version, but perhaps they are planing it. So far I’ve seen quite a few similar Online AI photo enhancers, but HitPaw AI has three models now and one it tries to make itself different by being offline app. With the use of few other programs and plug ins in Photoshop its possible to regain some of the lost skin texture or generate new one, and also adding a bit of film grain, makes the faces not look as artificial with extreme cases.īy the way, there is a demo image that comes with the program, it demonstrates how blurry image can be reconstructed with their new Model C for faces. I imagine this is the kind of tech they will start putting in the smartphones soon, because it really changes the smartphone photography. It cleans up the noise, enlarges 4x although its easy to down sample it to any resolution one needs, and best of all and most impressive it can reconstruction faces amazingly well even in difficult situations and the person is recognizable.

I use it quote often, and I find it to be maybe best value for low light and low resolution smartphone shots of people. Maybe you need to wait a bit for preview, but I never had an issue with it.

I also can’t see the two before-and-after panels you show (I see a single panel) or export the result to view separately when using the trial version. “On the PC, I still don’t know how good the app is because it refuses to generate a preview (“0%” flickers when I hit the Preview button but nothing happens). Anything requiring coding with no decent Graphical User Interface is out of the question for vast majority of users.
