I hung approximately a 10 kg / 22 lb weight on the tripod for additional stability.Ģ. I used mirror lockup mode and used a remote shutter release to ensure minimal camera movement. I shot these images on my heavy duty tripod with large RRS ball head. The images I'm showing are ~ 100% (full size) crops at the 60" / 154cm image size.

I then tried three different methods of upsizing. I'm working at 360 PPI which works well with Epson's printers that output at 360 DPI. In order to maximize quality I used a 3-image stitch with the camera in portrait orientation, so it is closer to what a medium format camera would produce. We were asked to take one of our images and rework it so that the largest dimension is 60" / 1.54m to make a large print. I did this work in response to an assignment I'm working on in my printing course. Just a bit of time to refresh this thread with a bit of testing I did using Topaz's AI GigaPixel software. I think the AI algorithms in this software does a good job of handling the details along with the noise factor. Usually when I do the same thing with photoshop, there is some degradation in picture quality. It allows upto 6x magnification, without losing any image quality. If this is REAL, wouldn't it be a benefit to photographers who shoot with smaller sensors I have tried out the 30 day trial version of Ai Gigapixel and the results are quite good. I am going for the FREE TRIAL - after all, nothing ventured - nothing gained

improving the crappy tiny images that many of our volunteers submit in their photos of the dogs that they are fostering wildlife photography - especially BIF imagesģ. It seems to me offhand that this might be useful (if the output quality is as good as touted) in at least three scenarios:ġ. if there might be any uses except for making large prints? if it delivers what it says it will and 2. I realize that this would probably only come into its own if you were intending to make large prints but, I wonder: 1.
