How Well Does Artificial Intelligence Create RAW from JPEG?

Not a bad salvage job! Definitely helped by converting the JPEG to DNG and proceeding from there. Here are two more takes on the artsy (you can get great results in Topaz Studio by just clicking the presets): Pretending that I was hired for this gift shop/museum shoot, I then took the result into Topaz Studio and applied some artsy: Nice! It almost looks as if I were hired to shoot this: Here is the same image after a trip through JPEG to RAW AI and a bit of rubber stamp removal of the distracting signpost behind the car (in Photoshop). I had to grab this photo so fast (the traffic light was changing) so I could barely aim the phone, and didn’t even get to roll the window down: I was at a stop light on Route 66 in SoCal and noticed the color juxtaposition of the classic car parked outside the restored gas station. Now let’s look at an iPhone grab shot that cannot be used as-is, but needs severe cropping and subsequent restoration and improvement. The above was a full-frame capture, without cropping. Here’s the more natural result after some tweaking of the Topaz-generated DMG in Camera RAW: The iPhone seems to have issues with bright sky colors, so I wanted out see what JPEG to RAW AI could do for it. Here’s an iPhone image I shot out of my bedroom window in a hurry to catch the sunset before it disappeared (unedited, reduced): It’s like a whole new world of RAWness has opened up for your poor old abandoned JPEG images, or your current smartphone captures! Here’s how the same DNG looks with some adjustments in Affinity Photo (latest beta): Otherwise, no way this old JPEG would do that! Once the output was complete, I double-clicked on the image’s icon and it automatically defaulted to opening in Camera RAW 11.1, as seen here (with some tweaks I experimented with). You can see JPEG to RAW AI has already cleaned up the digital noise and added a bit of sharpness to this clarity-challenged image. I chose the High “Noise & Blur Reduction” setting and to output as DNG (TIFF is the other option). I’ve loaded in one of my 1999 1-megapixel images and clicked the Preview icon at lower left. Let’s take a look at this exciting new technology from Topaz.
