We all have a folder of “almost perfect” shots: photos with high ISO grain, sharp images that lost detail after cropping, faded old prints, and screenshots or digital assets that could use a quality boost. This is where VideoProc Converter AI becomes essential. It works as an all-in-one media tool to fix blurry or grainy images, restore lost details, and upscale photos, while also offering powerful video and audio improvement and conversion features.
What Is VideoProc Converter AI?
VideoProc Converter AI addresses common media issues such as such as blurry or noisy photos from high ISO settings, lost detail after cropping, shaky clips from handheld cameras, and large file sizes that are difficult to manage. This all-in-one media enhancer and converter combines image and video enhancement, conversion, compression, and recording features in a single interface, with full GPU acceleration for fast processing of high-resolution 8K/10K photos and 4K videos.
Constantly evolving, the latest Version v8.5 introduces full support for NVIDIA RTX 50-series GPUs, delivering significantly faster AI inference and enhanced stability for demanding 4K and 8K workflows.

Robin Wong: Why Micro Four Thirds Excels In Insect Macro Photography
Robin Wong explains why Micro Four Thirds is the best system for insect macro photography.
The key advantages:
-
2× magnification from the crop factor gives more reach and detail in macro work.
-
More depth of field helps keep the entire insect in focus (not just the eyes).
-
Powerful image stabilization makes high-magnification shooting much easier and steadier.
-
The Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens is outstanding—sharp, light, weather-sealed, and very affordable.
-
Small, lightweight bodies make long macro sessions, hikes, and fieldwork far more comfortable.
-
You don’t need high-end or new gear—even a 10-year-old entry-level Olympus Pen EPL7 can produce excellent macro results with the right technique and lighting.
His core message:
Skill, light, and technique matter far more than sensor size or expensive gear. Micro Four Thirds remains an incredibly capable and practical system for macro shooters.
