![]() ![]() Up-sizing your photos won’t magically make your photos higher quality or give you results equal to a higher resolution camera. If you don’t have a specific reason to up-size your photos, you shouldn’t (I’ll get to the reasons in a second). I don’t recommend that you go and up-size all of your photos just because you can. 24 Megapixels will increase to 96, and so on.Īdobe Photoshop Super Resolution Why Do You Need This? So if your camera takes 12 Megapixel photos, Super Resolution will up-size them to be 48 Megapixel images. Super Resolution will double both the width and the height of your photo – which will increase the Megapixel count by a factor of 4. There are no options available in regards to how large you can make your photos. ![]() Luckily, Camera Raw is able to process TIFF and Jpeg photos as well as raw files. According to Adobe it will come to Lightroom at a later date. It is only available in the PhotoShop Camera Raw module for now. The new algorithm has been developing using machine learning and claims to do a better job than other tools. Put simply, Super Resolution is a new way to make your photos larger (a process often called up-sizing, up-rezing or re-sampling). The best they can do is preserve the appearance of sharpness and in some instances make a good guess at what the missing detail might have been.Adobe recently released an update to their ‘Adobe Camera Raw’ PhotoShop module that had a new feature that caught my interest. The fact is, though, that none of these upsampling tools, Adobe Super Resolution included, can ‘find’ extra image detail. You do get it free when you update Adobe Camera Raw, but even so we would keep it for emergencies and certainly not use it all the time. The fact that it creates such massive DNG files is a major downside, as its less effective performance with JPEGs and TIFFs. Would we recommend this over any other upsampling tool? Yes and no. Regardless of this, the results are clearly and visibly better than any combination of regular Photoshop upsampling methods.

If you upsize a 50% crop of a 24MP image, you’re still going to get a very big output file, and if you want to upsize an image bigger than 24MP… well, good luck to you. ![]() That’s what we got when we supersized a selection of 24MP RAW files. We’re not joking about the 400MB files in the headline. Fifth, the enhanced DNG files it creates are MASSIVE.If you want a JPEG or a TIFF, you will then need to use Adobe Camera RAW to export one. It gives you images twice as wide/high, and that’s it – in other words, four times the megapixels. Third, there’s no control over the settings.Second, it can be used on JPEGs and TIFFs, but in our tests it works much, much better on RAW files.First, it’s currently available only in Adobe Camera RAW, though we believe it’s coming to Lightroom in due course.It’s a lot more specialised than regular upsizing tools. (Image credit: Rod Lawton/Digital Camera World) How Adobe Super Resolution works Note the lack of settings! You get a DNG file with twice the height and width of the original, like it or lump it. For this screenshot we composited two Super Resolution windows side by side to show you the before and after versions. ![]()
