Procreate vs. Topaz Gigapixel AI

We are using Procreate less and less as Adobe tools catch up with more iPad applications and sketching styles, but Procreate is still superior in flexibility and online tutorials. We are using other, more formal tools more, just because the changing nature of work is less illustrative.

We have used Topaz Gigapixel AI and recommended it to many friends, peers, and colleagues in the industry. We do this because we have had great success in using Topaz Gigapixel AI on landscape images to increase the quality and clarity of terrain and geographical features that play an important role in conveying the 'grandness' of a location - yet needed that extra boost that Topaz Gigapixel AI is able to provide. We've used Topaz Gigapixel AI to successfully and beautifully upscale and sharpen portraiture photography where it is imperative to capture the ultra-realistic essence of the person, their character, the beauty as well as their imperfections. That's what's great about Topaz Gigapixel AI, it doesn't 'mask' or 'make things up' that aren't there. It simply makes them all better. We have great equipment and excellent craftsmanship, however, having tools on hand like the Topaz Gigapixel AI software is a no-brainer for us to use in our work. It helps us make great work even greater. And that's everything we can hope for in focusing on real people in our photographs. Trust the process. People will recognize and call it out if you get something wrong. Yet, no one says a thing when it all looks so good that that is all they can focus on. Well, that's exactly why we use Topaz Gigapixel AI in our day to day workflows.

I give this software a high rating. It was well ahead of its time and was very useful when needed for upscaling

Topaz always responds to my questions in a few hours or a day at most. They've been able to explain their answers and give detail I needed to complete my work. Their instructions are quite clear and easy to use. I haven't had to reference any third-party support sources to get answers.

We broadly use the Adobe suite for other applications, so as Adobe tools have advanced, it is difficult to have an outlier in the toolkit, but Procreate still offers a lot of ease of use and competes with more formal Illustrator tools. We use Illustrator a lot for general design work once they pass initial concepting.
