My question is: if I took a real photograph with an older camera, so it's not many pixels. And I put it in Topaz AI to make it bigger. Do I put that up as a photograph, or do I label it as AI, even though it is a photograph?

Upscaling isn’t GenAI. But it’s a mixed bag of tricks. A low-resolution image that’s upscaled too aggressively may result in something worse than what you started with. Adjust exposure, sharpness, and any other defects first. Then make a few test runs to see where you land.

Good luck.
