Image enhancer from Ai Arty is designed to offer some powerful tools including; Deblurring, Denoise, Artefact removal (including JPEGS), Ai Facial reconstruction, and high quality upscaling too. A new Ai eraser tool is also recently added, though still in experimental stage.

It supports RAW, and files can also be exported to various formats including DNG.
I take a quick tour of the software, look at some of the key functions, including detail enhancement, various out of focus photos to see how it performs, and upscaled images compared to normal software. Some of the results are impressive, particularly out of focus photos, and could be very useful for restoration, and even low resolution images. I also talk about some potential improvements, I'd like to see such as a selection tool for the enhancer and facial Ai, and some more control over some areas such as noise reduction.

Thought it would be interesting to look
at some imaging software. Haven't looked
at anything for a while. And this
company contacted me, AIRT, to have a
look at their imaging enhancement
software.
It has had an update recently, so that
includes some of the new facial features
for AI. You can also download some of
the AI models, and you might find that
will be a timesaver later on.
that will avoid having to download them
individually when you first start using
it. At the bottom of the screen, you can
see you can add images or folders. And
you can also change the layout and
adjust the size of the thumbnails.
As you would expect, this is
non-destructive editing, so it's not
going to make any adjustments to the
original files. You'll just be able to
export them once you have done some of
the changes that you want. You can run
this off of your CPU or GPU. In this
case, my GPU is nothing particularly
special. Now, they'd have a number of AI
models that are included, and they'd
give you a basic description of those. I
have been on to the company about this
because sometimes the description isn't
particularly
specific. Hopefully, that's something
they can improve with the description.
Do note with the upscale on the images
that does significantly increase the
processing time. So make sure that you
don't have that selected if you are not
trying to upscale an image. Also have
options for two pass processing and
sometimes this can make a very
significant difference.
You also have some basic adjustments you
have in terms of color restoration,
color temperature, typical exposure
sliders that you'd expect. And they also
have this face restoration panel. They
do have a HDR output. I won't be looking
at that for this video, but I will be
covering all the other areas.
I have some samples with the eraser a
bit later on in the video.
All of the common formats are supported.
They also have DNG or digital negative.
This will work directly with RAW files,
so you can just drop them into the
software. The system requirements are
relatively modest, but I do think you do
need to be using around about 16 gig of
RAM.
Now, in terms of how long does it take
to finish the rendering on this, it can
vary wildly. Anything from 10 seconds,
30 seconds, it could take a minute. If
you're upscaling, that will add quite a
bit of time to the processing. And of
course, it will also depend on the
hardware that you're using.
This particular shot that I took, which
was on a telephoto lens, was somewhat on
the soft side. And you can see just on
the model that I've selected here, it
does actually a pretty decent job of
improving the sharpness without adding
noticeably to any of the artifacts. You
could say you can just sharpen images
more, but there comes a point when you
start to create more problems when you
do that. The idea behind this particular
software is to do it in an intelligent
way. Do play around with the settings on
this though. It does make quite a big
difference. And also keep an eye out for
things like text and numbers. Sometimes
it can make mistakes with that.
Generally speaking, it's pretty reliable
if you can at least make out some of the
text. I wanted to throw something fairly
substantial at the software to see how
it could handle it. What's happened here
is just a mistake really with the depth
of field. The aperture wasn't stopped
down enough, which means to say that the
people in the background are in focus,
but the ones in the front are not.
They're quite badly out of focus to be
honest. So, good improvement with him.
the woman on the left hand side, there's
a massive improvement with that. She was
very out of focus. There is a little bit
of a catch light in her eye that perhaps
could be adjusted, but apart from that,
that's really quite an impressive
result. I was very surprised that it did
such a good job on that. Really, you
won't be able to bring an image like
that back with just sharpening.
Got a picture of a dog, which I wanted
to demonstrate with you. This is really
a combination of slightly out of focus
and also motion blur. It's managed to
sharpen that image up without making it
look overly artificial or causing any
artifacts.
This is an old slide and the image is
quite desaturated. So, I'm just going to
show you some of the um color
restoration.
There is a slider there to help restore
some of the color. And you can see the
before and after effects with this
image.
Here's a quick example where the AI does
get things wrong. The saxophone player,
we have quite a noisy image, very high
ISO. I would like to see some more
control with the noise reduction, but it
has done a fairly reasonable job with
this shot. And for some reason, it's
given him a mustache, which obviously he
doesn't have, and I know that because I
was there. And this also made a few
mistakes with the mouthpiece on the
saxophone. So do keep an eye on it,
particularly in specific areas of
detail. Here's a wider angle shot of a
house. And I just wanted to see how it
would perform in terms of just trying to
improve the details. And again, you can
see the importance of that strength
slider in terms of getting the results
that you want. So don't be afraid to
play around with things and adjust them.
As we can see, it's experimental. the AI
image eraser. So, I wanted to just try a
few areas just to see how well it
worked.
It's certainly a better result than you
get with a normal clone tool, but you
would have to sort of go around there
and fix up the image a bit. Of course,
it is a work in progress. I haven't
finalized this. I did try a couple of
the windows on the house and it did
pretty good job on that, but do make
sure you adjust the size of the brush
just to cover the area that you want to
remove a bit more accurately.
This tool is relatively quick in terms
of how fast it works. It's usually just
a few seconds. Doesn't seem to take much
longer than that. But of course, it does
depend on the image that you're using,
the resolution. The results off of this
are actually quite good in terms of
taking these windows out.
This part of the balcony is much harder
because we've got quite a lot of objects
behind it, including different windows.
I didn't really expect it to do that
well with this because it's quite a
difficult subject to take out.
It would be hard to make that convincing
because there's so much behind the rail
that you can't see particularly on the
right hand side.
I wanted to test the upscale image. So I
took a 6 megapixel image and I upscaled
it to 24 megapixel and exported it. I
did add some sharpening to the standard
upscaled image. Big difference between
these two is a much better result with
the AI enhancement,
particularly in areas of fine detail
such as the masonry and on the door.
Typically 6 megapixels does not upscale
very well to 24. It's just pushing
things too far. You can maybe get 10 or
12 megapixels that don't look too bad.
You tend to get quite a few jagged
diagonals when you do this. I'll just
show you a few other areas. This wasn't
at the maximum setting, by the way. I
was about just over the halfway on the
slider. A good compromise between adding
more details without looking too
overprocessed.
Overall, I think the software is good. I
would like to see a couple of areas
addressed.
I would like a selection tool for the
add more details and the facial AI. I
think the company is working on
something like that, so that could turn
up later on. This could certainly save
the day with some of the pictures that I
have tried with it. They do a free trial
and you can also download some sample
images or use your own. So, do check
that out. I think it is worth looking
at. This pretty much wraps it up for me
on this. I hope it was useful to you.
Give you a basic idea of some of the
functions with the software. And of
course, I'm looking forward to seeing
you in some more future videos.
