Interesting tool, I'll have a look at that one.

I was actually trying out a few of these things a couple of weeks back when I was checking out some of my older paintings that have rather poor resolution. These days people seem to be moving away from the Spline interpolation algorithms in favour of those ERSGAN/Super-resolution AI tools.
I ended up using Waifu2x which has a limited online version and an installable program on Githib (called Waifu2x-caffe) without the limitations. That one's useful cos it has two separate options/training sets for realistic photo images and for flatly coloured artwork too and the results were much better than I would have imagined.

I have only done one quick test of it on a photo and the result is surprisingly good. There are different presets available for different kinds of imagery (photo, graphics, text etc) or you can adjust settings manually. It also has a number of different scaling algorithms to choose from as well, and the option to split screen comparison of the before and after.

That's OK, I don't understand it either. I was just repeating some words I once overheard.

Another Corel Humble Bundle: www.humblebundle.com/software/be-a-creat...ampaign=tile_index_1

This time containing Painter 2020 (the previous bundle included Painter 2019) and a load of brush packs.

If I understand the bundling correctly, if you pay a bit over 25 Euro you get the lot? Doesn't sound like much for the software in question. I don't think.

Though I did download a painter demo some years ago and ended up playing with it only once... I guess I'm fairly content with artrage. Mostly. Except when I need to open psd files that use transparency masks etc....

Yep. You get the tier you pay for and all the tiers below it included as well.

EDIT - DANGER WILL ROBINSON! The Corel Draw included in the bundle is a 6 month subscription not a perpetual license
