Post Processing For BIF Photos

[Richard A]

Hi Everyone. I have some BIF photos that I took recently that need pretty heavy cropping. I was just wondering what everyone's workflow was when/if this is the case. I have an A7RV so I have a lot of pixels but these soon start to disappear. I am a beta tester for Topaz Gigapixel which I have been playing with but I'm wondering if I should crop the pics before using it? I also have Topaz Photo AI but I would ideally like to use RAW files for this. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Topaz AI should handle the RAW files ok. With it you can crop first, sharpen and de-noise then resize should you want to.
However my workflow is Sharpen and de-noise the RAW file with Topaz, then go to lightroom for Crop, Shadows and highlight adjustments. I rarely resize up.

If you crop in Photoshop in the drop down menu use Front Image option which keeps the file in its original file size , once cropped you can then process and resize the image to your desired dimensions
