I am getting some astounding images out of some photos while others seem to have varied little. Same camera, same time, same lens, similar images.
Since this is an AI product, there is no way for us to predict which images will have the best results. The results will depend on the contents of the image, ie. what is in the actual pixels, and is not related to your camera make, model, etc.
