In reply to Joe Munro. Yes, it will be in the next free update to ON1 Photo RAW 2022.

In reply to Adam Rubinstein. I agree that at very high ISO above 10000 Topaz yields better definition and less colour noise. Below about 6400 ON1 has a slight edge but not by much. ON1 has the big advantage of being very fast. I hope that ON1 might develop a competitor to Topaz Sharpen AI as currently that is the one software by Topaz that is peerless.

I actually prefer the Gigapixel results with the castle and leaf. The details look synthetic on the castle and fine details are lost on the leaf using ON1. I am always suspicious that competitors might not use the best settings when comparing their products. Gigapixel has different models that produce very different outcomes. However, if ON1 proved to be “about as good” as Gigapixel then I will prefer it as Gigapixel is very slow and I would prefer my workflow to stay within ON1.

Is this update free with OnOne Photo Raw 2022?

In reply to Patrick Smith. Another update for NoNoise AI.. I'll look forward to that too. :-) NoNoise is such an improvement over the previous tools, that I now use it on almost every raw file.

I use On1 only, and have no experience in printing. I processed a few photos, cropped to my liking and sent to a printer for the first time. The lab told me the cropped photos cannot be printed on typical sizes such as 16 x 20, not due to the quality of my processed TIFF files. With my agreement, she printed: 8 x 14, 8 x 13 etc. None fits a typical picture frame.

Question. With this new ON1 Resize AI, can my photos be resized to fit conventional sizes such as 16 x 20? Suggestions on cropping?

In reply to Patrick Smith. (Sorry for my insert above, now it looks as though you're acknowledging what I wrote, when you meant to acknowledge David Price's remark...)

In reply to David Price. My take exactly. I notice that here in some instances Resize AI gains in sharpness and clarity of edges, but even loses texture, which imo is an absolute no-go. For example in the tiles behind the tower of the fortress (Schloss), in the smaller nuances between the bigger veins in the leaf texture is lost.

In reply to Adam Rubinstein. Actually, another NN update in the next couple months is coming.

Agreed, some of the examples in the video appeared excessively crunchy though one could likely turn the sharpness down. It would be helpful to demonstrate how the differences translate into prints and I hope On1 could share some examples?

With respect to NoNoise, I’ve found that Topaz noise AI RAW is now performing at a higher level especially with high iso color noise. Perhaps the on1 developers can make some improvements?
