SAVE MANDATORY IMAGES OF VERY LOW QUALITY
Hello everyone! I wanted to share a technique I used on a project where the material was very poor quality but still required and couldn't be modified. However, when it came to cropping it, it was almost impossible to know where to cut because it was pixel upon pixel. However, it was resolved precisely. First of all, I want to clarify one point. In these cases, the AI reinterprets, making it impossible to maintain fidelity to something that isn't clearly visible. However, it gave me the key to reaching an agreement with the client. It's simple, but I'll share it with you. Take the image, run it through Topaz Giga at 2x magnification, and you'll see that it regenerates the image, never exactly in the details, but in the shape, which allows you to crop it. By creating a layer with Topaz at 2x, you can save the selection and apply the mask to the original image. You'll notice that the shape matches, and then you'll need to sharpen it and, above all, reduce noise. This way, the image is enhanced, giving a polished and detailed finish. I hope this is helpful!
