Hello all!
Recently, I have been experimenting with TopazLabs A.I image enhancement tools to get better fakes.
Mostly, I create 1280*720 fakes as I think it's the optimum setting considering time, hardware restrictions and quality.
This is a frame from my latest Daisy fake.
Original - 1280*720
And this the output of Gigapixel
Upscaled - 2560*1440
Both of them:
The original frame is not only got upscaled but also looks clearer and detailed, especially eyes look better.
Check the videos to compare the quality.
2560*1440: http://bit.ly/2Zu6rSC
1280*720: http://bit.ly/2KZcTI0
The only downside, this process takes too much time.
Up-scaling 7732 frames took ~19 hours.
Mind that if your original frame doesn't look good to begin with -check bj scene- up-scaling will not help that.
There are also other tools provided by TopazLabs. Especially Adjust and Sharpen are useful to get more vibrant colors, removing noise, etc. But unlike Gigapixel, they don't support batch-process so It has to be done manually one-by-one.
Until more powerful GPUs are released, this is the way to create fakes in higher resolutions.
