![]() ![]() ![]() Lower-quality images don’t fare so well.The edge sharpness is preserved at the larger size, as we would expect, but the added textural detail is quite amazing – and realistic. The results can be quite spectacular, even hard to believe.We were sent an early access release to try out, and here’s a quick run-down of what we found: (Image credit: Rod Lawton) (opens in new tab) ON1 Resize AI 2022 first impressions The increased sharpness and detail in the ON1 enlargement (right) compared to the magnified original (left) is remarkable. Here's a 2x enlargement (2x on both sides, so 4x overall) of a 4.6-megapixel JPEG from a Sigma DP1. Unlike Adobe's Super Resolution tool, ON1 Resize AI can work on JPEGs and TIFFs, and it offers a range of magnifications, not just Adobe's 2x 'take it or leave it' approach (and huge DNG output files). It also has special printing features, such as Tiling for large-scale prints or murals, ‘Gallery Wraps’ for adding reflected or stretched ‘wings to the edges of a photo without losing any image area, the ability to ‘fill’ different print sizes and even ‘soft-proofing’ with different printer presets to judge the amount of sharpening to apply (another feature in the software). You can use it to resize individual images or batch processing a whole series. ON1 Resize AI 2022 can be used as a standalone tool, or as a plugin or external editor for your regular software. ON1 is also suggesting Resize AI 2022 could be used to make high quality still images or prints from video frame captures. ![]() We’ve got lots of photos shot on 6MP Nikon D50s or 8MP Canon DSLRs from years back, and we’re sure lots of other photographers have too. If you’re looking for batch processing, I suggest using Topaz Gigapixel, which is a standalone AI image enlarger and is more reliable.Īs mentioned earlier, the real value in ON1 Resize is if you buy it as a package with Photo RAW.It’s also designed to breath new life back into photos taken on older, lower resolution cameras. You need to apply the resize settings to each image individually. You’ll have to play around with the sharpening settings to make the image sharper.įurthermore, I noticed you can’t batch resize multiple photos. Some photographers will have no problem taking advantage of this image enlarger.Ĭompared to Photoshop, ON1 Resize is better when it’s working. Overall ON1 Resize works but I found the software clunky, meaning it didn’t have a smooth workflow and lagged quite a bit. ON1 Photo RAW costs $99.99, and like Resize, it’s sometimes on sale for $69.99 Conclusion But I feel there is more value in buying Resize as part of ON1 Photo RAW because then you have a robust image editor also which also includes ON1 HDR and ON1 Effects. ON1 Resize sells for a retail price of $49.99 but is sometimes on sale for $39.99. There are a few basic adjustments that you can apply with the print tool such as selecting the printer color profile, choosing the paper size, and simple layouts. If you have a printer, then you can use ON1 Resize to send print jobs directly to your printer. You’ll need to purchase Photo RAW in order to make color adjustments. Unfortunately, you can’t do the actual color correction with ON1 Resize’s software. You’ll need to make sure you have chosen the correct color profile or uploaded it, and also have the gamut warnings enabled. ON1 Photo Resize allows you to view the soft proof of your image during the resize step. When I zoomed in on the before and after images, I noticed how the software was able to fill in missing pixels during the enlargement. Anyways, I was able to upscale the image to 18,000×12,000 pixels and ON1 Resize did a really good job. ![]()
